of Englewood linked below. The history of St. Bernard's starts on p. 112. It was startling to see Englewood described as marsh land and to see that requests had to be made to cut down virgin forest in order for a former Baptist church to be moved as the future St. Brendan's, which began life as a mission church of St. Bernard's.
My dad rented the apartment through a law school friend whose family (last name of McKay) owned the building.
A South Sider twice over. Born at Little Company of Mary on 95th St. and a Ph.D. from the U of C in Hyde Park (late 1970s). I remember our dad taking us to watch the Chicago Cardinals play in Comiskey Park. Ollie Matson was their star running back.
