As a Wikipedia editor, I'm interested in labor history, local Illinois history, left politics, democratic socialism, anarchism, disc golf, and whatever strikes my fancy in the moment. Below is a list of entries I've initiated and made contributions to.

Cherry Mine Disaster

I would have to look at the revision history to remember what contribution I made to this article, but it was after I attended the centennial commemoration in 2009. My family on my mother's side moved from Italy the year after the tragedy, in 1910, possibly due to hiring efforts after so many workers lost their lives. I would have to confirm this fact, but I think my great grandfather then began work in the mine but he must have died soon after emigrating to the United States.
