I spent the whole weekend on the phone with Alice finishing editing book pages and adding images and updating photo credits and such! And then sending the book back to New York via UPS! And now I'm drinking Champagne and I'm not about to try to post anything substantial! So here's a good one from the archives. My parents' house in Chicago was robbed in 1955 and apparently this was big enough news to make the Tribune. My dad lost his Heidelberg ring in the robbery.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen Marriott misspelled over the course of my vast lifetime. I also can't tell you who John Litel was.
