(Community Matters) Happy Birthday, Gregory Brooks. Gregory turned 45 & friends and his students celebrated over ping pong, delicious grub & drinks at his and Margo Weisz’s Barton Hills abode.
I’m not sure they shouldn’t change the name of Gregory’s & Margo’s street to Brooks Ave. Gregory (an award-winning architect) has designed 2 or 3 very substantial remodels/additions on his block and a new home just next store to their own. Of course, he’s designed and overseen extensive renovation of their own – not only the house but also the gardens.

Margo & Steven
Many friends gathering and more on their way since Steven and I only had time for a quick drive by (and quick nibbles. Margo’s a talented cook). Visited with Jill McRae & Stephen Yelenosky. Mark Nathan arrived just as we were leaving. We didn’t really engage but will be great friends again as soon as we’re beyond this mayor’s race
(he’s the consultant for Lee Leffingwell’s campaign; I’m on Brewster McCracken’s steering committee).
Mark acknowledged to me that Brewster is the preferred candidate given our challenging economic times and conceded that the race is Brewster’s according to the polls (umm, or was that a dream? 🙂.
