Tom’s 80th Birthday Celebration – Chicago
The entire family (15 people) met at a rented condo in Chicago’s Chinatown.
The space was a bit “tight” but maximized interaction!

Michigan Ave Bridge – The plaque states that Rene-Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle and Henry de Tonti passed here in 1681 on their way from Lake Michigan to the Chicago River, to the Des Plains River, to the Illinois River, to the Mississippi River, and onward to the Gulf of Mexico. La Salle was an explorer and fur trader. He claimed the basin of the Mississippi River and tributaries for King Louie of France, naming the region “Louisianna” in 1687.
