Thank you for the kind welcome! Berwyn is a great town, birthplace of great people!

My connection is indirect, coming through a person I once imagined was from Berwyn. I lived in Chicago and worked at a camera store in the Loop oh so many decades ago. The appellation was given to a man who liked to window shop near closing time. We imagined he was from Berwyn, because he took his time and asked for obscure items we could never find. He came in for years and never bought a darn thing. Now I understand that there really is little worth owning, save memories.
