I was lucky enough to meet Winston Churchill's grandson when I was in Las Vegas for the trade show. Very nice gentleman. He was a news correspondent after graduating college. When I told him I was from Chicago he told me a great story. "I've covered many conflicts and wars; from Vietnam to the Middle East. Funny enough, the only time I was injured covering a story was at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago."
I guess he was going back to his hotel room when two cops approached him and asked him where he thought he was going. He told them he was heading back to his hotel. "Oh yeah, where's your key and what's your name", the cops asked. "Here's my key, and my name is Winston Churchill", he replied. CRACK!!! The cop smacked him over the head with his baton. "You some kind of wise guy?"
Thought that was a funny story. Intrestigly enough we have a little connection to Winston Churchill as well. Jack Schwartz presented him with a case of Montecristo cigars when Churchill came to Chicago. We have a photo in the shop.
