Wednesday July
10, 2002 Forest Preserve bike ride
in Chicago, Illinois
Doug's Mom -
Lorraine Malewicki at her home in in Lansing Illinois.
After our nice stay
in Marblehead, Ohio, Karen and I drove to Chicago on Tuesday
July 9th. We visited with my Mom early in the morning and
then I drove Karen to O'Hare for her flight home.
After dropping
Karen off I drove to nearby Niles, IL and had dinner with a
bunch of my 1957 High School classmates at Rossini's - great fun!
Got home to Mom quite late.
The next morning I
drove to Flossmoor to join another High School classmate, Jerry
Levine, for a bicycle ride. Jerry drove all the way to
the North Side of Chicago so we could meet up with Wayne Madsen,
my old Stanford room mate, at
Darnell Woods.
Here we are riding
along on the 17 mile long Forest Preserve trail to Chicago's
Botanical Gardens.
Wow! A deer
close-up!
Fred ? (an engineer
friend of Wayne), Jerry and Wayne at the Botanical Gardens.
Jerry and Doug.
Barf! On the
way back, the bike Doug was riding got a flat. Neither Jerry
or Wayne had a patch kit or pump! I ended up jogging along
the trail with the bike while they cycled ahead fast to get the
car and come back for me. End of my ride!
