The 2nd Best Thing I Ever Did

Dad was getting ready to retire, and the party we were planning just didn’t seem adequate. So I made a few calls to see if anyone might be interested to know that a veritable institution was closing its doors. One columnist/reporter called back, interviewed me over the phone for about 15 minutes, and then said that Dad’s was certainly a story worth sharing.

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!
