Casey is first and foremost a curious student of the human experience. Some of his favorite teachers are (in no particular order) his 8 children, 2 grandchildren, his wife of 29 years and JRR Tolkien. Although much of his time is spent delivering mail for the postal service, he dreams of traveling the US and becoming a full time writer/storyteller. Casey has been with Stories R Us for 3 years and this is his 6th time sharing.

 Margaret Daly is a cellist. She reads a lot,

Cean Magosky is a surgical nurse by day, and a creative dabbler in whatever free time is left. A long-time member of the Downers Grove Writer's Workshop and currently affiliated with WriteOn Joliet, where he has contributed short stories and poetry to several anthologies. Cean draws on a wide variety of life experiences for his storytelling, including time in the theatre, years as a church musician, a magician's assistant, fishing guide and 'other duties as assigned'. Cean and his wife Anne have two grown children and will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this year. They also share their home with a parade of senior rescue dogs, helping them live their best lives. Cean has published two books on local architectural history, Historic Impressions Volume II, which he completed after his brother's passing, and Schools by F. S. Allen which recreates a 1901 advertising booklet to tell the story of the famous school architect.

Marty Timm is a life-long resident of Lockport, Illinois.  He works in information technology for a Chicago-based market research firm. He is president of the Lockport Area Genealogical & Historical Society (LAGHS).  The organization collects and archives materials relevant to the history and residents of the Lockport area. Some people meditate or jog every day.  Marty does crossword puzzles and other word games.  He also enjoys reading (when he isn’t eye-guzzling some new series on Netflix) and owns more books than he can probably finish in this lifetime. Music and movies are also amongst his pastimes.   Marty currently has no favorite sports team and refuses to take a side in local team rivalries.  On the rather rare occasion when he can watch horse racing, he will.  And dream, as he did when he was a boy, of owning a horse…His interest in storytelling started after seeing episodes of the PBS series, Stories from the Stage.  The connection that the storytellers forged with the audience by talking sincerely and straightforwardly about pivotal moments in their lives was fascinating.  He hopes to become an effective storyteller to share the memories he has of his family life, work life, and special moments with friends.  There are moments in our lives that should not be forgotten.  Whether they are big or small, individual or a collection of related moments, those memories can be honored in the form of stories.
