For instance, my friend Bill Lavicka has cancer, and I wrote this piece about him in Chicago editions of Sunday's The New York Times, photographed beautifully by Paul Beaty. 30CNCLAVICKA2-popup

And I helped ace Chicago video journalist Chris Cascarano produce this video.

Godspeed, Bill, and may you now get back all the love you've given to the history of Chicago and the people in your life.

Hard-core Murray readers will remember this piece from two years ago, written and published on my old Shades of Gray blog, upon the death of my friend Ed.
