Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- It’s been a few years since this series ran: Rich East Stellar Students. There are and have been a lot of them. Very happy to bring back these articles, beginning with a young man you definitely want to get to know. C.J. Smith loves basketball, has played football, and wants to get into a criminal justice program in college.
