I want to extend my gratitude to the GW faithful for the warm environment in Glen Ellyn yesterday. I understand it was not quite the outcome the Hilltoppers had wished, but I found the both the people and the surroundings appreciable.
I scrupulously followed your guidance and parked in a lot immediately across from the train station and did see several of the restaurants you recommended. As we strolled along the street, I did see the Italian place you suggested, but after the game, acting on the guidance from an aimable Glen Ellyn parent with whom I chatted on the way out, we chose another Italian place, Barone's, and we found it enjoyable.
Although I did not wear clothing revealing which team I backed on Saturday, two members of my party did and several GW fans feasting alongside us struck up a conversation.
No worry, however, no punches were thrown; in fact they demonstrated a high level of polite behavior and several wished us the best against Maine South.
The only obstacle preventing my defining the day as perfect was both my wife and my friend's wife's insistence we drive north of the school through several streets boasting the innumerable million-dollar homes. Women get ideas in their head and there is no telling...............
Should you ever find the Hilltoppers playing against a team in my area, by all means, I am happy to return the courtesy you extended to me and am pleased to recommend a few places to dine.
