I'd have been native born but for WWII. My dad gave up his draft exempt
job here to enlist in the AAF, due to what mixture of boredom and
patriotism, I don't know. So of course he ended up spending the war in
the only place safer than Antartica, the middle of the US. So I'm not a
native, although I don't remember Illinois.

I haven't had a chance to go through them all, but have certainly
enjoyed the trip so far.
