Norman Pellegrini: In Memoriam
The Last Great Oak Falls – Norm Pellegrini is dead

My family moved to Chicago in 1957, when I was 6 years old. I lived there and considered it home until mia_mcdavid and I moved to Minnesota in 1998. Throughout those 41 years WFMT, the Midnight Special and Norm Pellegrini were an important part of my life.
