Moraine Valley Community College

I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PLACE SINCE MY FIRST REAL JOB ! IT WAS THE MID TO LATE 70's . I DID NOT WORK ON-SITE , MY PARTY CHIEF (CIVIL ENGINEERING BOSS ON A SURVEY CREW) LIVED NEARBY .

WE WOULD PASS THIS COLLEGE FROM EVERY IMAGENABLE DIRECTION , N - S - E - W AND EVERY DIAGONAL ANGLE .

WHAT STICKS IN MY MIND THE MOST IS , HOW COLD THAT 1ST WINTER WAS ! AT 23-YRS. OLD WITHOUT THE RESOURCES TO BUY THE APPROPRIATE OUTTERWEAR . IT WAS COMMICAL WHAT I COBBLED TOGETHER .

I WOULD UP WORING FOR " CONSOER TOWNSEND & ASSOCIATES LTD. " FOR 5-YRS. !

THEN , I WORKED ANOTHER 20 YRS. FOR A FEW OTHER CONSULTANTS & Q. A. / Q. C. TESTERS .

I STILL REMEMBER THOSE , VERY COLD & SNOWY DAYS , PASSING " MORAINE VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE " . FOR THE RECORD , EVERY SUCCEEDING WINTER , I BOUGHT BETTER WINTER GEAR ! I BOUGHT TECNOLOGICALLY UPGRADES , GOOSE DOWN , WATER-RESISTANT BOOTS , REVO SUNGLASSES , SOCK & HAND WARMERS , THINSILIT . . . !

I NEVER WAS AS COLD AS THAT 1ST WINTER , AROUND THAT COLLEGE !
