She was a client when I worked for the staffing service. She called in for a waiter and a bartender for a party she was throwing.* I said, "Elizabeth Brackett from Chicago Tonight?" She went silent for several beats too long and then said, "Uh yeah." :lol:


*[Note for Baby Mac: Yes, this great job when I was down on my luck and appealed to a friend for work is something I made up just so I had the opportunity to post in this thread.]

pizza_Place: Investigating
Saw some interview where P. Ponce was saying in the last couple a weeks...and I don't have any idea how this comes up in daily conversation...she says I can give you 30 push ups no problem...and proceeded to drop and give them 30 push ups no problem. I always enjoyed her work. Had no idea she was that athletic or that old.

From a recent story.

Quote:
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said that paramedics at the scene witnessed “no signs of trauma, no dirt, bruises, scrapes, contusions, anything that indicated she collided with something or had a fall or struck something.” Paramedics therefore did not treat Brackett as “if she had a cervical injury,” Langford said; they had been dispatched to respond to a “person down from unknown cause” at about 8:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Langford said paramedics found Brackett about 30 feet from the lakefront bike path near 39th Street Beach.

“We don’t know how she got there,” he said.

A witness told paramedics that someone had seen Brackett “sitting in the grass.” She was later seen stretched out on the lawn.

“When somebody noticed that her color was changing, they went to investigate, saw that she was turning blue, and dialed 911,” he said.


Weird. Someone is probably getting sued.

She had a son at SICP who played baseball. He was not invited back sophomore year. He had some crazy in him. I think he coaches baseball professionally in the cardinals organization

Not a good week for paramedics as they were ready to body bag a kid on the West Side that was shot but still clearly breathing the other day.
