Celebrating 20 Years as Barrington’s Signature Magazine
ON THE COVER: History Maker! Doug McConnell’s vision to launch the Chicago River Swim splashed worldwide with a net of three billion views in print, social, and digital media. More than 10 years in the making, this reprise of the 1927 swim required a Herculean effort to organize, secure City approvals, and conduct lab-based water testing up to the moment swimmers dove into the water. The swim also raised funds to help researchers find a cure for ALS and to teach the life-saving sport of swimming to kids in underserved neighborhoods in Chicago.

QUINTESSENTIAL PERSON®
Oakland, Illinois, is about halfway between the Land of Lincoln and the Crossroads of America—Springfield and Indianapolis. Country music songs often mention dirt back roads and one-stop-light towns. Where Richard Lamkey grew up, there wasn’t even one stop light. The population was about 1,500 then. His family worked on their 200-acre farm growing corn, soybeans, hogs, and cattle. The family was active in community and church.
