Joe Paradis

I was born in Galesburg, Illinois in 1947; graduated from Avon High School in Avon, Illinois in 1965; was married in 1971; obtained a BA in English from Southern Illinois University in 1973; obtained a Master's Degree from Gonzaga University in 1975; moved to the Washington, DC area in 1977 and we moved to Cary, North Carolina on March 15, 2016. Anyone wanting to know more about me, read my coming of age memoir "Looking For Cornbread" and look for the sequel: "The Goldie Locks Zone" that covers my adult years.
