Oh memories... I haven't thought of Illinois Speed Press in years! A lot of the CTA players were from the next neighborhood over from mine. Some of my friends remember them from when they played at the Deep End, teen age hangout of all time. "Saturday in the Park" was always a favorite of mine as it is about Lincoln park in the year of the Summer of Love, 1967. (the Rev) Vince NPIMH; Take me back to Chicago
