Very few things make me truly proud to say I have Chicago roots. Studs Terkel is at the top of the list. I still have great memories of listening to him on Chicago's NPR station dispensing the wisdom our nation and ailing world still desperately need to hear -- and seeing him smile as we rode the buses near LSD (Lake Shore Drive). If you're in Chicago in May and June, check out some of the planned events to celebrate Studs' 100th and remind yourself that each and every one of us is capable of making big ripples towards change in this world. And if you get a chance, stop by Bughouse Square and do a shout for me.
