Hearing about the death of an old friend is always a difficult experience. Hearing of the sudden death of Elmer Johnson, former publisher of the Brookfield Enterprise and the Lyons and Valley Times and my former boss for 21 years, left me not only sad but steeped in memories of the good old days spent in Brookfield, Lyons and finally Willow Springs where we departed company.

Help! Did I actually say I felt I was auditioning for hell because of the intense heat?
    The nerve!  Little did I now hell would actually come visiting and I would spend
three days surrounded by fire and praying it would not overtake us.

  It has been four decades since I covered Desplaines Valley Village board meetings and police news. When I began making the rounds in 1961, Summit, Willow Springs, McCook, Justice, Hickory Hills, Brookfield, Countryside and Lyons were headed by colorful, friendly and charismatic mayors who left their stamp on village improvements and did so
with a poignant appeal to the public that made their eras legendary.
