Clearing

Chris Drnaso was born in Chicago in the early 1950s and raised in Clearing but wants the world to know this story is not autobiographical. He is grateful to report that his life was much more pedestrian and uneventful. He is a thirty-plus year veteran of the telecommunication industry but if you ask for details he’s likely to tell you he’s ’The Cable Guy’ and will leave it at that. Chris married his college sweetheart and soul mate Marilyn and make their home in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, not far from his boyhood Clearing home. Chris and Marilyn have two sons; Matthew and Nicholas. Chris is an eight year cancer survivor. In 2008, he wrote a comedy routine on living with cancer and for the next several years performed as The Cancer Comic at multiple venues throughout the northern part of Illinois. He has been a stained glass artist for over thirty years. His passions include reading, writing and taking long walks in the woods with Abbey Road, his eighty-pound sort of a Black Lab.
