Remembered as a modern take on the Renaissance man, Norman Kopp of Carpentersville died last week from complications to COVID-19.
Kopp, 77, spent most of his life working with computers, his partner for life Sandra Wittman said in a letter memorializing him. But his life was far more varied and diverse than that.
At one time, he ran the second largest goat farm in Arizona. He also once owned Cats, a specialty cat-themed gift shop in Evanston.
Kopp served with the Illinois National Guard at the beginning of the Vietnam War and later taught computer programming at Oakton Community College. After retirement, he became a regular at Elgin Community College, earning his associate degree, then taking all the available classes in the graphic arts department, as well as a couple of history or political science classes each semester.
Mark Power’s ongoing US photo series drifts towards dystopia

Brighton-based photographer Mark Power has released the third volume in his five-part book series Good Morning, America, which he began photographing in 2012.
The new volume features images taken in New England in late 2019 and the beginning of 2020 in Arizona and New Mexico, interspersed with archival images taken earlier on in the project across the country, from California to South Carolina, Michigan to Maine. Although vast in terms of both geography and timeframe, Power’s photographs are brought together by a sobering undertone, helped along by the wintery thread running through many of them.
