Thanks and Blessings to all of you that do keep in touch with me. I love you more than I am capable of expressing. I hope you can feel that. Please pray for me -- and especially for my daughter, Trinity Valentine, who just this past Father's Day (June 17th, 2007) gave birth to her very own daughter Kiley Ann, with the proud father Steve Ederer.

The Original Burkhart Underground Halsted Street, Lakeview, Chicago closed on May 6th, 2005. Fred Burkhart left most everything intact and walked out the door on June 16th... First they boarded it up with the leftover artworks...Then they demolished the vacant shell in August...
The tree was chopped down and left in the alley to die
The dirt was finally mixed in with the blood & bones of unnamed Indians who used to live on the lot before me
In order to make way for Golf-Tec.....
