Round Lake Heights Mayor Terry Lumpkins says he has to make sure all Rosen dealership departments are doing their job, from finance, to sales, to porters, to the service department.
 (Ryan Pagelow/News-Sun)
Terry Lumpkins has been mayor of Round Lake Heights since 1993. When not serving as mayor, he works as general manager of Rosen Nissan in Gurnee. The most diminutive of the Round Lakes probably won’t get much bigger, and it’s clear that its biggest promoter is a fan of small-town life. Round Lake Heights was the first of the Round Lakes under his leadership 16 years ago to embrace the town festival.
