I purchased the historical CD. It plays fine in my laptop CD player but will not play in my DVD player connected to my TV. It says "this operation is currently prohibited for this disc". Would really like to watch the video on my TV.

For those of you that wished me Happy Birthday it is always appreciated. I will share the story with you and the fact is my Birthday is actually the 24th. I went to collect ss and they gave me the news. Mom said there nuts but the Birth Certificate is correct. I was born on the 24th and the Doctor signed on the 25th. It took six monthe to get it corrected. You think someone owes somebody owes somebody? Need not comment. That little incident is kind of my life just a little cloud over my head. Thats the first story and there are numerous more. Should write a book but the publisher indicated that they did not have the program to correct my spelling. By the way there are a bunch of you in those stories. We did not hurt anyone unless you coount monetary losses. You all Stay well. Bill Billy

Hello, This is Bill Paul or if you look at the graduation list the Name is William Gunning Campbell Paul 4TH. Yes they chose to read that aloud as to my embarrassment or the miracle that I actually graduated.  We are getting long in the tooth. When I was 32 I thought I had a heart problem. Jumping all over the place. Well I went to get all kinds of test. The Doc comes out and said you are going to live to 75(Truth). Well not looking forward to 75LOL. So just curious as I consider you all my friends but lets get down to it are any of my close buddys coming. Waiting to here from you or the girl that had the big crushon me. the one thing I want is the Yearbooks. I would tell you a story on why I do not have mine but better said in person. I wish all of you the best in health and happiness(spelling?) Bill or Billy Paul

Adios and off we went.I am forgeting one story as I blew up the pencel sharpenef in World History(room). The catch was the teacher was a cousin of my Dads.

Does anyone have any info on the closings of St. Irenaus and St. Lawrence O'Toole?  St. I is such a beautiful building! I was married there in 1969.

shout out to Jim Kiley for that wonderful video of old PF.  whileI only lived there for my junior year at Rich East, i have fond memories of both the city and of the so may people who welcomed me during that year.  Rich East so avante garde for the time (it probably was).  I had a wonderful year and would have liked to stay, which my family would have done but for my father's untimely passing.   This video brought back a lot of memorites.  Those houses and townhouses and the plaza must be getting quite old by now.  If ay of you go back there, I would be interested in hearing your descriptions of how the place has fared.    for those that care, I moved back to chicago for my senior year of high school, the Univ of Michigan for college, and then on to law school at Yale.  I moved back to chicago for a few years, spent 9 months with my then wife bumming around Europe just a cut above the way students did, then moved to San Francisco for a long time and then down to Los Angeles about 20 years ago.    I do think of my Park Forest days from time to time and am happy that I have been included on this forum.   regards to you all,    steve goldberg

Happy Hanukkah to you, Rich, and to Seth-how impressed I was when you invited the new kid in the school  to the movies, way back in 1959-1960. All good times. Let us hope they return going forward.

Just learned that Coach George Egofske has passed away at age 93.  Don't know any details. 

Just finished his book Not Good, Not Grerat, But Fantastic.   He was quite the educator in every sense of the word - of course as the coach, but also as the teacher, leader, and glowing example for his students, and everyone he came into contact with.  Rest in peace coach!!!

Hey Greg, thanks for the sad news. I'm wondering if there's a service we could attend to pay our respects to a great coach! He saw potential in me as a wrestler when I was a freshman and he mentored me through high school. I tried to live by his example through life. One night after a meet he knew I wrote my motor scooter from unincorporated Mattson and because I had a foot of snow on top of my seat behind the school he insisted on following me home. When I got about a mile from home, I waved him goodbye because I thought I could handle it from there. He was tough, but he always said a good example for all of his athletes and students! I was lucky enough to have breakfast with him at our Reunion and I was amazed with his health and his keynote speech to our class. If anyone knows about Services or anything, please post.

We all learned something from his example. Rest in peace, Coach.
