I became friends with Gary Gillis about 40 years ago. It makes me happy that over all that time we are still friends. Recently, I was a guest on Gary’s podcast, “What’s The Story Pekin?” Big Fun! Check it out here.

Driving in the country is something I miss doing. Recently, I was invited to Wyoming, IL to check out Cozzi Ranch, a not-for-profit oasis where youth and the DD community can fish, hunt and explore. Please check them out on Facebook. Congratulations to Michelle Cozzi and Andy McGava for creating this gem. Nice work!

Two Things in the Arts Community:
The Color Purple at Peoria Players was crazy good. Bravo to Director Bryan Blanks and a talented cast! That was a great evening for all in attendance.
The Peoria Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro George Stelluto, kicked off the new season recently with special guest artist, Mr. Stefan Ragner Hosduldsson.
Both gentlemen stopped by The Greg and Dan Show a couple days before the performance. Dan and I were blown away by Stefan’s talent and his amazing flute. If you get a chance, check out The Greg and Dan Show past interviews and listen to our chat. You will find it just above this column. We always love seeing George and now we have a new friend, Stefan, from Iceland!
