- What have you been doing since graduation?
- For the last 27 years I have been in sales management for a distributor of speciality fasteners and electronic hardware. I live in downtown Downers Grove, IL.
Bachelor's degree from Western Illinois University. MBA from Roosevelt University. Truth be told, I learned everything that I needed to know about sales working at The Alsip Nursery for 12 years on and off through high school, college, and a little beyond. The 2 Greek brothers who owned it, John and Bill Limparis, took a liking to me and took me under their wing. They became good friends and mentors.
After a 30 year marriage I am divorced and happily single. I have 2 spectacular kids: Danny, 28, married and a graduate of the University of Illinois. Danny is an Operations Manager for an industrial supply company. He makes me proud everyday; and Laura, 26, a graduate of Lewis University in Romeoville, IL. Laura is beautiful, single, and loving it, I think. In regards to my children I have been blessed. No grandkids yet. I'm way too young for that !!
I own a bass boat and spend a great deal of time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near the town of Crystal Falls fishing and hunting. I also spend as much time as I can in the Lake Tahoe, CA area downhill skiing, white water rafting, and four-wheeling on the Rubicon Trail. Lake Tahoe is my most favorite place to be. Also love to gamble, but not to excess. Can't seem to walk by a craps table without placing a bet on the pass line !!
These days adrenline seems to be my drug of choice. I still enjoy doing the edgier stuff.

One Calumet Park'ers Lament
My name is Paul Wisniewski and I grew up in Calumet Park, IL. I lived on 125th and Racine Ave. That's where there are no houses on the other side (east side) of the street. Cedar Park Cemetery was our other side of the street. I was there from 1956 when I was 5 years old and left sometime in 1973. Hadn't been back in many years until recently. Much to my shock and dismay I discovered that Calumet Park was gone. No I don't mean in a physical sense. It's still there physically. I mean it's soul is… Continue
