The Chicago Sun-Times is one of the city’s two big dailies – it’s the home newspaper to both Richard Roeper and Roger Ebert(!) – so I was quite surprised when the reporter said he would head down to the far south suburbs and visit with Dad, and I was quite tickled that his story could be seen by potentially several hundred thousand people!

That's a great article, Farrago. Your dad must have been proud of that in the paper! You're a good son.
Dang, I got me a lot of reading to catch up on. Looks like a lot of good stuff. Congratulations on the full page article!
Yeah, that was a good read.
6 siblings!!
It's pretty amazing that there was no advertisement for the barbers, yet your father kept it going so long.
That's great and so so so proud!
Thanks for the visit! We LOVED Weebles too! and I remember riding in the first Edsel; it was thought to be radical and good at the time. No one knew that it would be a bomb until later.
I think that is sensational. Congratulations!
I updated this post as some seemed to think this article was published very recently....
Thanks to everyone whose expressed concern and sympathy for my dad.
And I'm kind of surprised no one has commented about the Capone piece. Gramma was kind of a tough old bird...even when she was young!
I enjoyed reading that article. Thanks for sharing!
