TIM SOUERS grew up an Air Force brat which means LOTS of travel. He happened to live in Chicago as a grade schooler in the summer of ’69, and caught the Cubs Bug watching Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, and team run out of gas as ’69 turned into the year of the Amazin’ Mets. But almost 50 years of fandom paid off for him in ’16. He’s a freelance illustrator and art director, married and living in Chicago.
