— Here’s how to combat opportunity deserts in Illinois – Dan Ugaste (COMMENT: What were your job opportunities when you were young? Mine were not good. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, and delivered mail 1966-1969. My critics/opponents have always made it very clear that they would never have stooped to take the aforesaid bad jobs. Further, they have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had to take the aforesaid bad jobs because I have always been an unmitigated loser. They stress that I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class and my ACT score was only 24. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. I would focus on how much money their parents had/have.)

He died suddenly in October of 1969 when he tried to lift a heavy speaker at the Blue Note Tap in Momence. My grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great grandfather on my father’s side all had less money because they paid to send their children to Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete.)
