The West field dedicated in his name last night.

He's a nice man - waited in him several times at the St Clair Country Club where he learned to golf. Is there another town in IL that can claim a Masters and Wimbledon champ as their own besides Belleville?

Very cool. You can't say enough about these old timers. May God bless him.

Not to mention a band so cool, an entire musical movement is named after their first album. Extra points for first person to name said band. Bonus points if you name the two bands that were created after the demise of the first band.

Uncle Tupelo, then vonsolt and Wilco

And we claim Uncle Jed - Buddy Ebson - as a BelleVegas native.

They just put out a new album that is more bluesy. Love those guys when they are crisp. Seen a couple of shows when it felt like less heroin would have been advisable.
