Another new face at Schauer’s. This time it’s Amanda Wyatt, recent graduate of UIC with a major in theatre. Her major included many hours of building and tearing down sets, painting, sets, and all the rest that goes with it. All that experience will come in handy at Schauer’s.
Another recent UIC graduate is Anita Murad who did graduate work in social studies at Jane Addams Hull House School. Anita is now working at Lurie Children’s Hospital with special children.

Kathryn Atwood, local renaissance woman , has just edited /translated her latest book Code Name Pauline: Memoirs of World War II special agent by Pearl Witherington Cornioley. It’s the story of one of the most celebrated female World War II resistance fighters. The book tells about her parachuting into a remote area of France to aid the French resistance, hiding in a wheat field, her family’s harrowing escape from Paris and so much more.
