Stole your post (It’s the CHicago Way...We’re trying to keep everything in one place so it’s easier to connect the dots...Feel free to add anything else you find or just connect some dots from what is already posted.


Here’s how Burke earned the moniker “The Bishop”
When Burke was in his heyday he would enter city hall from the LaSalle street entrance which could allow a limo easily where the Clark street side didn’t.
As The limo pulled up two flunkys would jump out. One to open the passenger door and the other to hold the door to city hall open, When everybody was set up Burke made his salutory entrance.

As he made his grand entrance the one flunky would be on his right side, the other on his left, but both walking slightly behind him. Kinda like what the queen of England’s husband does on state occasions.

Burke would then stroll forward in the corridor stopping ocasionally to very briefly chat with a city hall retainer and then continue to move on waving his hi-ya hand right and left as he proceeded to his destination.

He reminded those whoever wittnessed the Catholic ceremony of Confirmation like a bishop after entering a church and the procession down the aisle with the bishop bestowing his blessings upon the congregation on his way to the altar ...ljk biog
