[CBQ] Westmont Presentation

["Leo Phillipp via Groups.Io" <qutlx1=aol.com@groups.io>]

Simply as FYI, we had fun at the Westmont historical society presentation today 
entitled the "Q in Westmont". I was unable to stump the audience of 45 
attendees with my questions.
 Especially when I asked what the nickname of Westmont was on the RR and the 
spry 80 plus year old President of the society responded "Whiskey Hill" and 
could also explain exactly why ! It was because Clarendon Hills and Hinsdale, 
the towns immediately East of Westmont were "Dry" and those towns residents 
would ride "dinkys" to and fro to quench their thirst.

Thanks to the Westmont Historical Society for having the BRHS and their 
generous honorarium for our doing the presentation.
