1996 American Catholic Press Benefit This year, the benefit committee decides to hold the annual dinner at Sgt. Means Park,
in Olympia Fields. This location is thought to be especially
convenient for people in the neighborhood; it is also an unusual and
interesting site, a former farmstead. After dinner, the Master of
Ceremonies is John Beale, who has many friends in the world of sports.
Now, entertainment involves the popular sportscaster, Bill Gleason, who
is seen regularly on cable TV, here present in person. In
addition, Molly and the Tinker (Brian and Diane Leo) play Irish music,
ultimately with animated volunteers from the audience. Bill
Gleason, Pat Cummins, and others are recruited as volunteers.
