Then There Was Chicago's Edward O'Hare, Butch's Father-- Part 1


From the March 17, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Chicago Flashback: Why JFK came to town" by Stephan Benzkofer.

O'Hare Airport, the supposed reason for JFK's visit and the hero for which it was named, was not the first time the O'Hare name made Chicago headlines. Besides questionable politics and dangerous streets, the name Edward O'Hare, Butch O'Hare's father, is also connected with that other thing people think about when Chicago is mentioned.

And, that would be gangs and Al Capone.
