About Me | After college I worked for various local publishing houses and ad agencies. Then one Winter I was called up to the major leagues and went to work for the Chicago Cubs baseball Club as their graphic design coordinator. I worked at Wrigley Field in the front offices of the club. I have never had a better lunch hour than sitting in the stands watching them cut grass on a non-game day, while the breezes of Lake Michigan waifed the smell of fresh cut grass up to me.

We design and publish numerous monthly magazines, create corporate marketing strategies, design franchise advertising, design and print brochures, letterhead, display ads, trade show booths, even design and print plain white business cards for the barber down the street. I married Jeff Bero (class of 85) in 1994. He is fourth generation owner of F.J. Bero & Company,Inc. They are Plumbing Contractors also in Elgin. We have had 3 beautiful daughters (Peyton in 1996, Eva in 1997, and Ainslee in 2001) We now reside in a new home in Gilberts, Illinois. I really do not regularly see anyone from Larkin besides my husband and a small group of his friends. Every once-in-a-while, someone from LHS will pop out of the woodwork around town and we always say hello! Jeff and I continue to run prosperous businesses, golf as often as possible, serve on volunteer and not-for-profit local charity boards and try to raise our gi...(read more) |
