This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Deaths: Sears Tower, Movies
From the January 19 and 26th, 2014, Chicago Tribune. //// RICHARD GUMBER, died December 13, 2013. Crane operator who hoisted the final beam to the top of Chicago's Sears Tower. At the time, 1973, at 1,454 feet, it was the world's tallest building. And, I still won't call the building by its new name. It will always be the Sears Tower to me. //// KENNETH GAGNON, 79. Died Jan. 4, 2014. Master carpenter and made a lot of movie sets, including "Uncle Buck" where his huge pancake was flipped by John Candy. Also worked on "Blues Brothers," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Road to Perdition." These are some of my favorite movies. ////
