a more rural or even suburban area. A city would not be a place that I would chose to go if I was trying to survive an apocalypse. I have had the opportunity to live in more suburban areas such as Rochester Michigan, rural areas such as Monclova Township in Ohio, and the extreme urban area of Tokyo, Japan.

Getting personal information from someone who has experienced that part of life can be so important in keeping those memories, both good and not-so-good alive. In interviewing Mr. Leonard Bertuli, a United States Marine from Mark, IL, my partner Seth Carlson and I learned more about his life before entering military,…
