Greetings from the North Park Village Nature Center located at 5801 N. Pulaski, Chicago, Il. This 46 acre nature center is a great place to tell stories. During warm weather I tell out by Ole' Groovy . Pictured below in 1999, Ole Groovy has finally fallen down. Brought down by a sudden summer of 2004 thunderstorm.

I began telling at the nature center after returning from Emerson College, England in January 1997. That winter I approached the Nature Center Staff for the opportunity to storytell there. They let me have an opportunity and I've been telling ever since.
