Arthur Miller during his “Art Class” had Carol Summerfield the Executive Director of the Lake Forest Lake Bluff History Center drop by and discuss: Latest wave of new residents also caused by the City shutdown, even of the lakefront. But restaurants, theaters, museums, etc. all closed.  LF offered open space access at the beach and bluff top park, LF Open Lands trails, etc. easy to walk in the open air without being in crowds. Bigger home spaces better for families going to school and office at home Have an idea for a topic or a guest?

Notes: Commander Lipinski and his group of volunteers put up over 200 flags every holiday The American Legion gifts out scholarships from the money raised from their raffle ticket sales Breaking news on Lake Forest Day (Must Listen) Arthur Miller informs us of past Lake Forest Residents who should be remembered Stanley D. Anderson, Class of 1916 at LF College, served in World War I as aide de camp (driver) for General Pershing, head of U.S. Army Forces in France, since he knew German learned in College, and if they got stuck behind enemy lines, he could talk their way out. The post was organized in 1921 and that year began sponsoring LF Day.  The present post is the former Rasmussen shoe store, moved in 1916 to its present location in 1916, and converted in 1935 into the post’s headquarters. Architect Anderson was the architect.  For more see Arpee’s town history of 1963, p. 196) and Paul Bergmann’s 2020 monograph on architect Anderson and his firmGot a topic or a guest to suggest?

Not knowing the bylaws because you cant find them on the Lake Forest Caucus Website is a barrier https://www.lakeforestpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/retaction-show-6th-show.mp3 Pete and Skoo clear up mistakes (remember we aren’t Caucus or City Government Experts) from Friday’s show as well as offer up suggestions on how The Executive Caucus Committee can help not have the perception of a friends club or groupthink. Before the Friday show, Pete asked the President of the Caucus Kim Pfahl how The Executive Committee was picked, 1) “You raise your hand saying you have an interest” 2) “You go through mentorship for a year” 3) “It’s really up to the President and Vice President to decide because it is really their executive committee they want to have and how they want to do it” The answer Pete was given led him to that conclusion of Group Think and Friends Club THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS VOTED ON Pete got that wrong. Pete should have said that the Members who are put on the Ballot for Executive Committee are not vetted or voted on by the Caucus Committee. The Executive Caucus Committee Candidate’s merits were never discussed before the Spring Meeting nor were their qualifications discussed or voted on to be placed on the ballot. Pete never heard anything in his Ward meetings regarding Mentorships, nor was asked if he was interested. Part of the confusion stems from the bylaws not being updated on the Lake Forest Caucus website. (It’s a dead page)  Pete was reading the 2016 Bylaws.  Here is a clip someone sent us from the updated bylaws in 2020 Section 4.03 Election. Candidates for Officer positions shall be recommended annually for office by the current Executive Committee from among the members in good standing of the Caucus Committee and shall be presented for election at the Spring Meeting. Does this appear to let the Influence of the Executive Board continue in perpetuity unless the officers are challenged in the one-hour Spring meeting? This gives the perception of a closed vote to be on the Ballot. It’s a process problem.
