Docent Ellen Shubart (Class of 2006) will appear on the WGN-TV Morning News at 9 am on Dec. 26 (the day after Christmas), to discuss her recently published book “Secret North Shore – Chicago,” which highlights 84 spots in Chicago’s North Shore that you may have never heard of.  The book, published by Reedy Press, looks at sites from Evanston to Lake Forest, highlighting the art, culture, natural areas and architecture found in the North Shore suburbs. Join in to find out about a few of the secret sites.

This is Shubart’s fifth book, all about Chicago. Her works include “Taylor Street: Chicago’s Little Italy,:” “What’s With Chicago?,” and “Chicago: An Illustrated Timeline.”

Wedding bells rang for Kelly Manteck, (Class of 2020) last October when she and Ryan Karas tied the knot at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles. The same pastor as who baptized Kelly when she was born and had married her parents in 1978, officiated at her wedding – what a special touch to the day! Art Deco, a favorite period for Kelly, was reflected by her statement colors of champagne, blush, navy, and slate blue.   Ryan, a navy veteran, naturally went on more than 10 river cruises with Kelly during her training, quizzing her patter on various buildings.

Congratulations Kelly and Ryan!
