Joy and Ray Tennison

Native Chicagoans, we both received Bachelor degrees from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Ray's graduate degree is from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and Joy's is from Dominican University, Graduate School of Library Science, in River Forest, Illinois. We raised our children in Chicago and were transplanted to California in 1979, where three of our grandchildren are now natives.
