"Crossing Over to Work" Chicago

We have a lot of bridges here in Chicago because of the Chicago River.  To me, that is one of the main attractions of the city.  My first job after attending the American Academy of Art-Chgo. was at the Merchandise Mart where I worked as a commercial artist for Paper Mate Pen.  I still have my first PaperMate pen since 1973.  So did my love for pens evolve from working for PaperMate,Pen or did I want to work there since I loved pens.

My office was on the fourth floor and my window was facing the Chicago River....what a view....it was a big window.
