JANICE MINTON-KUTZ

PROFESSOR DAVID DOLAK TALKS/SINGS

TO THE CAL CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY:

In a scholarly talk to the assemblage at the CCHS, Sunday February 12, 2022, Prof. Dolak laid bare his passion for how the Chicago area came to be from the onset hundreds of thousands of years ago, to the present during the glacial processes over 10,000 years. His talk covered the “fortuitous access conditions,” across the mid continental watershed divide and its evolution to the present. Prof. Dolak capped off his talk with a tune of his own creation, “Away to Portage,” played on a guitar (luthier) also of his own making. David Dolak is an environmental scientist, musician, luthier, and outdoorsman. He has worked at Indiana Dunes National Park and Argonne National Laboratory and is a professor at Columbia Colleges, Chicago. The CCHS is gaining new members each and every day. Kudos to President Mike Wolski and his board--Sue Warner, Marilyn Schultz, Louis Krawczyk, Joseph Plovich, Fredrick Schrum and Paula Swanstrom. ***

VALENTINE’S DAY - FEB. 14 originated as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the “lovebirds” of early spring.
