181 At This Time

Pam and Bennie Henley start their day on the front stoop of their home near Evanston High School. “He drinks coffee,” Pam said. “We just conversate.” Pam and Bennie, married 32 years, were originally from Mississippi but met in Evanston.

I’m tired of the snow.” (Photo by Richard Cahan)
