For good measure, we told you about the success of Kelly Cruises and Tours, as entrepreneurs Nancy Kelly and her daughter Susan, have carved out a niche as experts in luxury travel around the world.

This brings us to this current issue. As mentioned, we cover the Oak Brook Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society as they celebrate 50 years of fundraising. The Drake Oak Brook received high honors as one of the fine hotels in the world, and the U.S. Department of Education awarded Brook Forest school with its second National Blue Ribbon Award for overall academic excellence.

We also give you the back story behind the famous fountain at the center of Oakbrook Center. All in all, you would have to say, Oak Brook is a very nice place to live, work, play, and enjoy life.

Last, but certainly not least, we also share a remembrance of Michael Butler, the son of Paul Butler, and brother to Jorie Butler Kent, who passed away on November 7 at age 96.

Thank you for reading and supporting Oak Brook Magazine.
