David Elliott's Final Column
Wow, am I ever late to this party! Nevertheless, David (if you're still there), I used to read you (along with Geprgie Ann Geyer, the late, great Mike Royko, and others) in the Chicago Daily News in the 1970's. Those were that days - 4 daily newspapers - the Daily News, the Sun-Times, the Tribune, and the American! It was a feast. As I was reading an article by someone named David Elliot in today's 9-17-2017 NYT, I wondered if you could possibly be the author. Obviously not, as it turns out. Nevertheless, I am happy to have searched and have had a chance to read your final Reader column. It reminds me of why I was always a David Elliot fan all those years ago in Chi-town. And to see a comment about the phenomenal Clark Theater was an added bonus. Thank you for the wonderful memories, David, and all the best to you and your family.— September 17, 2017 8:18 p.m.
