Speaker: Chuck Spinner. "The Tragedy at the Loomis Street Crossing"

On Saturday, April 26th at 10:00am, author Chuck
Spinner will give a powerful presentation about his book, The Tragedy at the
Loomis Street Crossing.  The event will be held in the Parish Ministry
Center of Ss. Peter and Paul, located at 36 N. Ellsworth St., Naperville.  April 25th, 2014 will mark the sixty-eighth
anniversary of the worst disaster in Burlington Railroad history, the
Naperville train wreck that took the lives of 45 people.  Spinner spent
five years researching the life stories of all 45 people whose lives were lost
in the crash.  He also interviewed the only two surviving eye witnesses to
the collision and talked with rescue workers and several of the injured
passengers.  Chuck's book prompted the
forming of a committee, headed by Paul Hinterlong, that worked with the Century
Walk organization toward the creation of a sculpture by Paul Kuhn that will be
dedicated at 1:00pm on that same Saturday at the Naperville Railroad Station. A
good number of friends and family of the crash victims should be in attendance
for the presentation. Chuck now lives with his wife Patrice in Ashville, New
York. Autographed copies of Mr. Spinner's book will be available at his Friday
evening presentation.
