*John Landecker wrote two songs about her in his career. The story of one of those songs is an incredible tale involving the Jefferson Starship. That story is here, complete with the song itself.

Great event Saturday afternoon on the Northwest side at Paterno's Pizza. Dr. David Fletcher and John Owens were on hand to talk about their great new book Chili Dog MVP. They brought along a few guests including former White Sox slugger Carlos May and organist Nancy Faust. Thanks to everyone who came out to say hello and buy a book.
Dave and I appeared with Rich King on Saturday at Rich’s book launch party for “Ike and Me” at Guaranteed Rate Park. It was a star-studded event. Great party. Great book. Congrats to Rich. (Ikeandme.com).
