November 19th is the birthday of Norbert Wiley, son of Norbert and Anna, nephew of Irv, and cousin of Mary Claire and Helen. We all knew him as Nobby from Mom's stories.
Norbert is a sociologist, writer, philosopher and self-proclaimed hippy. Born in 1932, Nobby has rich memories of time spent with the greater Wiley family back of the yards on the Southside of Chicago.
Among other professional accomplishments, Nobby has served as Professor Emeritus of Sociology at University of Illinois, Urbana, received a PhD in Sociology from Michigan State, has had four books published, and recently won a Lifetime Achievement Award from Michigan State.
He is retired and living what seems to be a beautiful life with his wife in coastal northern California.
Happy Birthday, Nobby, and may you have 38 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
