La Salle County Illinois (Class A) BFRO

1987

I have been watching your TV program for some time. I wondered if anyone in Illinois had seen something like me. This was about 20 years ago. I told my husband and others, but they laugh. So I never told the story again. Today I came on line and I am blown away that some around Marseilles has seen what I was. I have to think back on that year this was.
