Northern Star
NIU alumna and former Northern Star reporter Vicki Quade published her book “Close Encounters of a Chicago Kind” on Dec. 1. The book tells numerous stories of random occurrences Quade had in the Chicago area through observational journalism.
Quade graduated NIU in 1974 and pursued a journalism degree because she loved to write, and she found a lot of enjoyment in being the storyteller, Quade said. And that’s what “Close Encounters of a Chicago Kind” is all about. Quade retells quirky and unbelievable stories about fascinating characters throughout Chicago in various locations like banks, grocery stores, airports and even her own home.
