Catholic women who got pregnant out of wedlock in Chicago 100 years ago would quietly disappear into the Misericordia Maternity Hospital and Home for Infants on 47th Street to bear their illegitimate babies under the care of the Sisters of Mercy, joined by indigent married women and those “of foreign birth or parentage.”They often emerged without their infants. Most of the healthy children left behind would eventually be adopted.

WBEZ and I go way back.

I broadcast from inside the scoreboard at Wrigley Field, watching attendants slide big numbers into place.

I love a parade. Give me a crisply uniformed high school marching band, tall hats smartly strapped under chins, horns held high, playing “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” A line of fire trucks, lights flaring, sirens whirring. I’m lucky enough to live around the corner from where parades — Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day — pass by in Northbrook. My wife and I don’t bother with folding chairs. Just stroll over and park our butts on the curb.
