42 years ago this month, I had my first article published, woot! It was a piece about my hometown. It appeared in the Nov.-Dec. 1983 issue of Illinois Magazine (which at the time was a new incarnation of the old Outdoor Illinois). That issue had a pretty cover. Friend-prolific author-activist John J. Dunphy of Alton's Second Reading Book Shop had an article in the issue, too! (I didn't know him then.) As he would joke, with so much writing talent in one issue, a copy should be an expensive collector's item, LOL. My writing style has improved, I hope.
