    I was living and working at Hawthorne Racecourse in Cicero, Illinois when the Tylenol poisoning happened. I actually bought Tylenol at a Jewel Osco on Cicero Avenue the week it happened. Threw them away immediately.

    I was 26 years old at that time and Cable would not hit my then neighborhood(Chicago Lawn) for 5 more years. Many a work night fiddling with the rabbit ears to get a picture in my'garden apartment'.A young,thin and semi top covered Tom Skilling was a blast from the past.He just retired earlier this year.
