As I read your little piece of history, I said to myself, “Hey—carlo goes back to before Hizzoner.”
Then I saw your story about the coverage of Uncle Joe and knew it was so.
I remember the Kennelley days, just barely.
Indeed, I am an ole fool.. I grew up in Daley’s 11 ward neighborhood, with his sons, little Richie, and tiny Bill.. I can recall when Richard J, won the City Clerk election before becoming Mayor for life..
Actually, Kennelly, and Kelly before him were even more corrupt then Daley, if that is even possible.. Yea, I go back a long way.. :)
