My root in Chicago run deep. My three siblings and I were born in this city. My parents and all four grandparents were born there as well. On my dad's side of the family, I have roots in Chicago as far back as my great great grandfather, Captain David Dall, a captain of clipper ships on the Great Lakes, who himself immigrated to Chicago from Scotland. I love the city of Chicago, even though my family moved away from the city in 1974, although my brother Cameron now lives in the Chicago suburb of Mount Prospect. I loved being right on the Chicago River in downtown Chicago for the conference I attended there last week. What a beautiful and historic city!
