This is one of Ron's favorite Terry Proudfit stories...
I had been dispatched to a traffic dispute in the parking lot of Skokie Valley Hospital.. A couple on a motorcycle and
the driver of a car were coming near to blows over an incident that happened. I was trying to get them calmed down to
no avail. Terry arrived as my backup and saw that the verbal altercation may soon become physical. He grabbed
me by the shoulders and planted a big kiss on my cheek. All of a sudden the people who had been arguing were just standing
there with their mouths hanging open in disbelief of what they had just seen. Terry just smiles and told them, "Now that we
have your attention, just get on and in your vehicles and get out of here." Not another word was said and the people
just drove off shaking their heads. Needless to say, I was just as shocked as they were, but if it worked, what the
hell.

In its heydey, the Desiree Restaurant had a cheerful red wraparound sign. However, it has sat
vacant for years, defying attempts to revive it. Patch file photo.
Though many Skokie residents have fond memories of the former Desiree
Restaurant, its building has sat vacant for years and given a forlorn look to one of the village's most prominent intersections.
No
more. The Skokie village board on Monday okayed a plan to buy the building for $1.175 million, demolish it and interest
a developer in building a new development on the site.

Hi friends,
I found this while cleaning my shop, I don't know the age but Larry Leganger is on the front and in the
roll call photo, Al Kloch was a patrolman.
Thanks to Al Fournier for the great find!!
