THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Hillary Clinton meets with
fans at Winnetka book
signing
Chilly winds and the
start of the work week
were not enough to deter
1,000 Hillary Clinton
supporters from lining up
around the block in downtown
Winnetka on Oct. 30
as Clinton made a stop at
The Book Stall during a
Chicago trip to discuss her
new memoir, “What Happened.”
Lucky fans were able to
secure their spots in line to
briefly meet with the 2016
Democratic presidential
candidate and get a copy
of Clinton’s book signed.
Tickets, which were priced
at $32.70, sold out within
minutes on The Book
Stall’s website the day the
event was announced earlier
last month.
While Clinton did not
grant any press interviews
at the event — which was
held nearly a year after her
defeat to Donald Trump in
the 2016 presidential election
— she did have one
thing to say in response to
the day’s news of U.S. Justice
Department Special
Counsel Robert Mueller’s
first indictments into the
investigation into Russian
election interference.
“I have a great chapter
about Russia in here,”
Clinton told the press.
In response to other reporter
questions about the
election dodged at her before
the first guest came up

to her table, Clinton added,
“You can find out what
happened and what’s still
happening.”
Clinton fans from the
North Shore who turned
out for the event included
Northfield residents Julia
Hauldren and Lisa Klare.
“I would say we’re Hillary
fans for life,” Hauldren
said, elated after meeting
Clinton. “I just think that
she’s probably one of the
most influential people in
my lifetime, and it was just
an opportunity to meet her
that I couldn’t resist.”

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Operation Santa Claus
spreads the joy of reading
for 27th year
Operation Santa Claus is
back — and this year, the
organization will be servicing
more children than
ever before.
The program, first started
27 years ago, connects
willing sponsors with inner-city
schools to bring
books to children during
the Christmas season.
Gary Moriello, a resident
of Northbrook,
helped start Operation
Santa Claus in 1991 when
he was principal at Gladstone
Elementary School.
After an idea to bring
gifts to students was
brought to his attention,
Moriello and his fellow
coworkers decided they
would start a new program
to bring Christmas joy to
the lives of students during
the holiday season.
In the beginning years,
Operation Santa Claus
serviced grades K-3 and
brought a variety of toys
for students. The operation
expanded to serve the entire
school after receiving
positive feedback.
But in 1997, the school’s
reading scores began rapidly
declining, causing
faculty to reconsider the
program. Literacy rates hit
an all-time low, placing the
school on probation, thus
Moriello and the school
decided to dedicate Operation
Santa Claus to solely
giving students books.
Now, more than 27 years
later, Moriello is retired
and Operation Santa Claus
is run through the Northbrook
Rotary Club as an
annual holiday volunteer
incentive.
After Gladstone closed
its door shortly after Moriello
retired, the organization
shifted and expanded
to Goethe and Forrestal
elementary schools. Moriello
estimates that the
program will now service
roughly 1,250 children this
year.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK
Ex-Highland Park mayor
was one of Chicago’s most
famous architects
NFL player Jonathan
Linton, Smashing Pumpkins
lead singer Billy
Corgan, astronaut John
Grunsfeld, Green Party
candidate Jill Stein and, of
course, Michael Jordan are
just a few on the long list
of important people who
either lived or grew up in
Highland Park.
However, not all famous
residents were stars on
television, went to space
or are prominent political
figures.
Julia Johnas, author of
“Highland Park: Settlement
to the 1920s” and
director of adult services
at the Highland Park Library,
was at the library
on her own time Oct. 30
with the Highland Park
Historical Society to talk
about a lesser renowned
but very important figure
in Highland Park’s history.
William W. Boyington,
an architect famous for
the 1869 water tower on
North Michigan Avenue,
first came to the attention
of Jeffrey Stern of the
Highland Park Historical
Society when he was looking
through a list of former
city mayors.
“I knew [Boyington had
designed] the water tower,
but it wasn’t until I was
looking at the mayors of
Highland Park over the
years that I saw his name
and it sort of clicked with
me that this has to be the
same guy,” Johnas said.
Boyinton’s enduring designs
— now all more than
100 years old — include
the Rosehill Cemetery gate
in Chicago, the water tower,
the log house built for
Sylvester Millard in Highland
Park and countless
other structures in Chicago
that were either torn down
or burned down.
He became a resident
of Highland Park in 1874,
after his second home
burned down in Chicago.
He remained in Highland
Park until his death in
1898.
