Hi, Ivy.... wavey

I saw the term "windy city" in your topic title and it brought back some memories...of boarding school when I was 15 years old! Way before your time, back in the 70's...but we listened to WLS radio station all the time...all the way down here in Kentucky! (We had to turn the radio a certain way, and then point the antenna a certain way...) laugh

Thanks for the memory!

Welcome to the forum!
...and nice to meet you!


Cindy
