Forty-two years ago today, I woke up in the apartment in Des Plaines, Illinois, and drove to DeKalb, Illinois, where Liz and I were married at the Newman Center on the campus of Northern Illinois University. We then had our reception at the Holiday Inn (now Red Roof Inn) on Lincoln Highway (Ill-38).
We drove out to Galena, Illinois, for our honeymoon. We stayed at the old Palace Motel, a mom and pop place, on US-20 north of town. It was torn down and is now a Ramada Inn.
We had planned on staying five days, buy that was cut short as I signed my teaching contract on August 24th.
