  • Two Trustees and 1 White Sox pitcher

    Maybe just a little bit more attention should be given to a local girl “Who just won the Silver Medal in the Olympics. Do we really need to know what Donn Paul thinks of the White Sox upcoming season? Next time Norm is on the show make sure you have plenty of bird food for his his pet parrot!😂King of the one liners “Absolutely”
