Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

Our Hall of Fame Nominee!

We are pleased to announce the great news!

Diane Blumensaadt, Teacher and Customer Service Representative at the Old Town School of Folk Music, has been nominated for membership in:

The White Castle
Cravers Hall of Fame

Diane has been nominated based on her account of an experience in one of Chicago’s Great Blizzards. It was a cold, windy, stormy day in Chicago, and the snow was piled high on all sides. Walking was difficult, and the icy wind chilled you to the bone. But she and a friend, cold and hungry, were on a long trudge home, through the drifts. Then, before them, white and gleaming, was a place that symbolized warmth and comfort — a White Castle. Each spent their last 12 cents on a slider, which they still remember: that slider bought both comfort to the stomach and a smile to the face. Diane still lives near that White Castle, and treasures that memory which comes to mind each time she passes that location. (Details in this account may differ from hers; I heard her account only once).

Diane has already been awarded an attractive White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame Nominee metal; if she is a finalist, she’ll be flown to the White Castle National Headquarters to be specially honored. But whatever celebration they have, we’ll have a bigger shindig here at the School!

Be sure to wish Diane well and cheer her on as the awards process continues!
