title: Unfinished Pentecost: Vatican II and the Altered Lives of Those Who Witnessed It
author: Ken Trainor
description: Ken Trainor is a lifelong, free-range Catholic who spent the 7 years immediately following Vatican II in the Chicago Archdiocesan seminary system. He left the seminary to study in Rome, then completed his B.A. in Literature at Loyola University of Chicago. Some years later, he added a masters degree in creative writing from Colorado State University. A storyteller, chronicler of life and occasional provocateur, he has been a community journalist and newspaper editor in Oak Park, Illinois, for the past 22 years. Since 1985, he has honed his storytelling skills as a weekly columnist for a series of newspapers in Ft. Collins, Colorado; Mt. Pleasant, Michigan; and Oak Park. In the 1990s, he wrote a monthly parenting column for Chicago Parent Magazine. His son, Dylan was frequently the focus. In addition to other awards, he has been named best columnist by the Illinois Press Association four times. Examples of his work can be found at OakPark.com. He was born and raised and is back living in Oak Park, the village that gave the world Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway, whose footsteps he has followed (up to a point). His first book, We Dare to Say, was published by ACTA Publications in 2007. Most of all, he enjoys telling the stories of inspiring people, which is how this book came about.
