Chicago junior lifeguards reunion / Sams Boys book release party

Pat Hall interviews his fellow lifeguards at Leone Beach for the junior lifeguard reunion. Chris Serb wrote a book about the program called SAM"S BOYS and this was a release party for the book also. Here is a description of the book...In 1925, a young lifeguard named Sam Leone took charge of Rogers Park Beach, a broken-up stretch of shoreline with a spotty safety record. Over the next 40 years, Sam whipped his guards into a well-trained unit, racked up an incredible reputation for safety, and built his junior guard program into the biggest and best recreational program in the city. Sam's Boys takes the first comprehensive look at this little-known but all-important slice of Chicago's past: the story of Sam Leone and the history of the beach that now bears his name.Dave Grier on camera/audio.
