About

  From Winnetka, Illinois, Ellen Ross wrote “Social Studies,” a weekly humor column for the Sun Times’ Pioneer Press for ten years.

During an unscheduled detour to Aspen, she skied and hosted “The Ellen Ross Show”- a weekly one-hour talk show for Grassroots Television.

She is the proud mother of a daughter, Natasha, and a son, Nick.  She also has three grandchildren- Sam, Carolyn and Hendrix.  (They aren’t that gifted but she likes them anyway.)

She loves dogs, roses, making crossword puzzles, Luis Aparicio and John lé Carré. She is a member of the National Trivia Bowl Hall of Fame.  She is recently married – yet again.  This time- fingers crossed- for keeps.
