Before this he worked as a partner for the 'older crowd' for a ballroom dance class. It's mentioned in Death Masks (while Harry and Susan are doing their dance escape). I'll look up the page number when I get home.

From the National Weather service records for Illinois:
ROCKFORD... OCTOBER 3, 1997: THIS WAS THE SECOND DAY IN A SEVEN DAY HEAT WAVE THAT SENT HIGH TEMPERATURES PAST THE 80 DEGREE MARK. ON THIS DATE...THE HIGH REACHED 90 DEGREES WHICH TIED THE RECORD PREVIOUSLY SET IN 1922. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS THE ONLY RECORD ESTABLISHED OVER THE SEVEN DAY PERIOD...TEMPERATURES WERE AROUND 15 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
Rockford is a little to the northwest of Chicago, so that means it was unseasonably warm in Chicago until at least October 8th. How does 1997 work as a date for GP? I can't access the first page of this tread at present--every time I try the connection resets.

Not possible, alas. It just barely works with the two "hard and fast" dates we're given (see the timeline), but it's a little too close to them for my liking. Also, it doesn't quite work with the David Copperfield timeline. It would have meant that Harry was born in 1968-1969, before Copperfield is even inducted into the Society of American Magicians, which is how he met Malcolm Dresden.

Ah, for some reason I thought I already had that listed. Amazon says p. 204. I'll add it when I add Neurovore's stuff!
Shiggy:
Yes, 204.
--- Quote ---"When I first came to Chicago, I had a bunch of jobs until I hooked up with Nick Christian at Ragged Angel Investigations. One of them was as a dance partner with a senior-citizen organization."

Can't. Connection still resets every time I try to view page 1.

That's messed up. Is this a recurring thing? Ah well. Here are the two dates I was referring to:
HARD AND FAST DATES:
1994: The Unseelie Incursion, "when the entire city of Milwaukee had simply vanished for two hours. Gone." It was reported on in the Midwest Arcane and referenced on p. 55 of Storm Front.
1997: The Shroud of Turin was nearly destroyed in a mysterious fire. According to Harry, this takes place "a few years" before the events of Death Masks, which is 3 ASF in the Dresden calendar. [DM 28]
