Later, he returned to Chicago to help manage a not-for-profit.  An amateur history buff and avid storyteller, Jay’s involvement with Frankfort Rotary Club ( including President of the Club in 2021-2022) and his love of storytelling led him to offer to present a history of the club on its 100th anniversary in 2024
