Football and softball games played in the alley between Monticello & Lawndale on the N. 4700 block. Spring break was spent Spring cleaning at my house also. Rotary phones and party lines - YIKES....could we handle that now? We went to Meyers Bakery on Lawrence. The grocery was on the corner. The Terminal Theatre on Saturday was a big treat - at .25 for a double feature. Watching Cubs baseball with dad, listening to Jack Brickhouse and all of those Hamm's beer commercials. Yes, I continue to root for the Cubs, although I've been away for so many years. Then when I started TI in the mid-70's using a Silent 700 OMG!- that's when they introduced the calculator...remember those big lunky things? Oh - how times and things have changed.... Boy – have you brought back memories. Football and softball games played in the alley between Monticello & Lawndale on the N. 4700 block. Spring break was spent Spring cleaning at my house also.

Watching Cubs baseball with dad, listening to Jack Brickhouse and all of those Hamm’s beer commercials. Yes, I continue to root for the Cubs, although I’ve been away for so many years.

Then when I started TI in the mid-70’s using a Silent 700 OMG!- that’s when they introduced the calculator…remember those big lunky things?
Oh – how times and things have changed….

Although I'm decade behind you I sure remember all those games outside with no parental involvement. Had not changed in my small town in Maine by then. By today's standards parents would wonder how we would survive. Happy Birthday my friend! Bill Al,

Thank you for being you ... trips down memory lane are poignant and powerful. I hope you realize the positive impact you have had on people throughout your life. The countless people whose lives are better because of you. Many of them you may never meet - such is the ripple effect of life. Thank you for the talent, humor and heart you bring to the work you do. Thank you for letting me be part of it. May you be around a long time to lead the way ... And, may the Cubs go all the way this year - I'll even sign up to be a fan if you think it'll help :) Happy Birthday, Al! Thank you for being you … trips down memory lane are poignant and powerful.
