Sad news to report. Our old friend Joel Daly has passed away. Joel was an icon in Chicago--a famous newsman at ABC Channel 7 for nearly 40 years. But he was also an attorney, an actor, a singer, a pilot, and in the last decade of his life he also became an author for us at Eckhartz Press. Dave and I went down to Joel's hood every few months (until recently, when he became too ill) to have breakfast with him. We really enjoyed his company. Joel always had some great stories to share. Our condolences to his daughter Kelly, and to everyone else who will miss this great man. We will miss him dearly. His colleagues at Channel 7 did a nice tribute to him today.
