It's now official. In June, our son John Templon will be heading to Evanston, Illinois, where he will begin work on his graduate degree in journalism at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. If all goes according to his plan, he will graduate in about one year and begin living his dream of being a professional sports writer.
Son Matthew is already living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, working for Clark Products, a paper goods supplier. In August, Matt and John will be joined by daughter Megan, who will be a freshman at Marquette University in Milwaukee, following in her brother Matt's footsteps.
In an ironic twist, we also found out that Megan's choral director Kenneth Elpus is leaving Hopewell Central High School to accept a doctoral fellowship at Northwestern, where he and his wife Rebecca earned their Masters of Music Education. The Elpuses and their baby daughter will be moving this summer, after the school year ends.
So there will be large contingent of Templon family and friends in Greater Chicagoland!
