She has written for USA Today, Time, the Chicago Tribune, and more than 30 other media outlets. Behind the story: "Toni Preckwinkle ['Toni's Time,' page 74] is one of the most fascinating people I've ever interviewed. Since we're both six feet tall, it's the first time I've gotten to interview a female politician eye to eye. I learned about how her great- grandfather escaped life on a Georgia plantation with the Union Army during the Civil War and eventually ended up in Minnesota. I also heard about how her uncle and paternal grandfather worked as dining car waiters on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railways, which were predecessors to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway." Favorite spots in Chicago: "The gorgeous gazebo in Welles Park and the Montrose Harbor area." Her inspiration: "I love talking to people and traveling because I'm curious about everything. Every day there is something new." ... WITHOUT WHOM THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE MAY/JUNE 2014 036-037_MA_FOB_Contribs_May/June_14.indd 36 4/14/14 2:49 PM
