Searcher - My cousins have lived around the Chicago area their entire lives. Matter of fact, their mother grew up in Batavia I think.

I think it was in the 70's maybe that they lived there. Their last name is Stees. Their mother's maiden name was Runyon I think.

They lived in Geneva, St. Charles, Naperville, West Chicago, Batavia and Aurora. I believe some of them still live in that area. One cousin lives in Shaumburg. Another is maybe in Aurora or Geneva. Don't know for sure. It is a family of 10 children. Both their parents are gone and so they are now moving from the area a little at a time.

Glad you like Boise. Never been there. I need lots of sunshine. Can't take the gray days and cloudy weather, so Florida is good for me. My twin and I are the only siblings from our family that have moved from northern Illinois. Other than that I have two nephews that moved away. Guess my family is mostly a stay put type.

Thanks for asking.
