Notes for RONALD ALLEN MOSOFF:
Future generations should be aware of the tay-sachs connection in the Mosoff family and should be tested before having children of their own. Chances are one in four that the disease will be carried to the next generation.
With a degree in Music Education, couldn't find work. So answered an ad for an Accounting Clerk at the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. Stayed 18 years and was then bought out. Then went to work for Envirodyne Engineers as a Construction Auditor for work at Chicago's airports. Changed companies after two years but never changed my office. The new company called R.M. Chin & Associates took over the existing work space. Has been there since 1/1/93.
Interested in music (play in a band), computers, cameras, and radio technologies.

Marriage Notes for ROCHELLE MAY and RONALD MOSOFF:
Ron and Chelley met at a dance at the Jewish Community Center in Skokie, IL in January of 1973. Ron was playing bass guitar in a band and Chelley was in the audiance. Ron called Chelley that week only to find out that she worked nights at Marshall Fields in the Old Orchard shopping mall. Chelley called him back because she was afraid that if he didn't call her back, they would never get together. Their first "date" was a shopping trip to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL to look over some stereo equipment for Ron's stereo.
At their wedding, the groom and groomsmen wore a burgundy and grey print tux jacket. The bridesmaids all wore pink.
