“Forgotten Hollywood”- Chicago or Bust!
The afternoon after our Westminster Lanes / Forgotten Hollywood Documentary fundraising event, Laurie (my wife) and I are headed for a whirl-wind ten days in Chicago. We have a lot planned, culminating with a special dinner in Wisconsin honoring Moose International, Inc. members (including me) for contributions made to Moose Charities in 2012. I’ll document our trip via the Forgotten Hollywood blog.
Some of the activities include:
~ A trip to Miller Park to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Milwaukee Brewers (05/22)
~ A lunch and book signing with members of the Rotary Club of Chicago – O’Hare (05/23)
~ A visit to MOOSEHEART CHILD CITY AND SCHOOL to personally witness my charity dollars in action. I’ll also donate a copy of Son of Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History to their library (05/23)
~ A chance to see a Broadway-style production of Oliver at the Drury Lane Theatre and Conference Center, located in the Burbs of Chicago (05/23)
~ A three-day Memorial Day weekend tour of Chicago, with visits to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field; and Sears Tower. We’re also taking g a historic gangster tour with stops at the Biograph Theatre where John Dillinger was gunned down, and the garage where the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was carried out (05/24 – 05/26)
~ A Moose International – League of Guardians Donor Dinner at the historic Milwaukee Arts Museum. In my latest literary work, I wrote about the actor who was considered a favorite son from Milwaukee, but who was actually a Canadian – JACK CARSON (05/27)
Time permitting, we plan on traveling to Waukegan, the childhood home of Jack Benny; and enjoy opportunities to try some famous Chicago-style pizza and hot dogs, and Milwaukee beer.
Bulletins as they break!
Until next time> “never forget”
