Dad's Salvation Army Tour

Took dad on a tour of Chicago's 509 Salvation Army facility to see how it changed since he worked there 60 years ago! Major Mark Anderson gave the family a wonderful tour which lasted about an hour, and dad was in his glory. We took video and will come out with a DVD once we get all the pictures and video edited. We then went to the SA training college and saw a picture of his mom Vera Bergh who graduated in 1924 in the "Old Time Religion" class. The mansion was a donation from a Chicago businessman who used the home for entertainment when in the city. He later moved to California and gave the mansion to the Salvation Army in the early 1900s. We ate at Pete's Pizza, and then went by mom & dad's former homes in Chicago and Elmwood Park. It was a fun day for all.
