Thing in a quarry in Nauvoo, Ill before it was closed off.
Intersection into the world at age 1-22. RC girls academy with girls from all over the world. South American Drug lord daughters, Chicago, Detroit, New York , St Louis Mob daughters, regular daughters. Plus 10 denominations of churches, a peephole into the world in a small Midwest town of 1,100. Mecca of the Mormon Church on the banks of the Mississippi also.
Once upon a time everything flowed through Nauvoo and the surrounding area within a 150 miles as the bird flies. The politics still remain. Peoria is close and like I have said. If it don't play in Peoria there is a problem.

Interesting Values in those 4 and where they cut their teeth at different time in their lives.
