he was da congressman from IL 22, Southern ILL.
That would put it in the 98th Congress 83-84, that’s the Congress when I was born.
Bow-tied freak. Did you get a load of his daughter? Zero question of paternity there.
He was Congressman prior to his service in the Senate (and after he served as Lt Governor (1969-73) under Republican Gov. Ogilvie — it was Simon and not Dan Walker who was expected to face Ogilvie in 1972. Simon was the Combine choice, Walker was not, and Walker scored an upset over Simon in the Dem primary and over Ogilvie in the general after the latter implemented the IL Income Tax, ending his Presidential aspirations).
So I presume somewhere between 1975-85 you were in Cairo ? A good bulk of it was still standing 40 years ago, although the old courthouse and the hotel where U.S. Grant stayed during the Civil War was gone by then.
