The Robert P. Williams Family has seen Naperville grow from a quaint little town to a busy and still growing city with ten times the population of 1960 when we first arrived. Our children have grown up here, graduating from Naperville schools with scholastic honors which prepared them for advanced degrees from colleges and universities. We are charter members of Knox Presbyterian Church which first met in Elmwood School.

We are blessed to have our children and their families still living in Naperville, and we are now watching our grandchildren following in their parents' footsteps. Our son, Bob,and his Wife. Becky, have been married for twenty years, and have three boys. Joseph. Joshua. and Jordan who Will be 16. 13. and 10 this summer of 1999. Our daughter, Donna. has a son David Kokonas. 11. and a daughter. Elise Kokonas. 9. Donna and her husband. Byron Hadley. have been married for one year. Byron also has two daughters. Amy. 14. and Lauren. 10.

Over the years we have also been fortunate to have parents. William and Hazel Bonnema, and siblings living in Naperville. Roberta Qualkenbush and Laura and Dr. Terry Marsh, a professor at North Central College, and their children have enriched our lives with many family activities. Family members have served their community in various ways including church offices and committees, school hoards, the plan commission, and advisory groups to the City and the College of DuPage. Our family talents include engineering, teaching, accounting, psychology, mathematics, science, finance, languages, business, music, and sports.

Naperville has been an outstanding community in which to live for nearly 40 years. It is our hope that future generations will find the same enjoyment and fulfillment that our family has experienced.
