Page 1 of 4 Event Background The Legendary Landmarks Celebration has honored noted Chicagoans since 2006 for their contributions to the city’s civic and cultural legacy, and their belief that a great city is defined by its legendary architecture. Proceeds from the Legendary Landmarks Celebration will in part benefit Landmarks Illinois’ Preservation Heritage Grant Fund, which provides essential financial assistance for the revitalization of historically and architecturally significant properties statewide. This investment, in turn, encourages economic growth, creates jobs, promotes tourism and safeguards a sense of place, identity and quality of life for generations to come. About the 2016 Honorees Corporate Legendary Landmark W.E. O’Neil was founded in 1925 in Chicago and has offices in Denver, Los Angeles, Nashville, Phoenix, and Tucson. Their award-winning family of construction companies, both employee and family owned, is recognized as an industry leader, bringing an impressive history of customers and projects from Connecticut to California and many points between. Moving from labor only to heavy machinery to state-of-the-art technology, W.E. O’Neil still maintains its focus on teamwork, customer satisfaction, and integrity, corporate values that have remained constant for close to a century. W.E. O’Neil’s many notable historical renovation projects include The Chicago Theatre, Oriental, Palace and Auditorium Theatres, Medinah Temple Bloomingdale’s, The Mather Building and 111 West Adams Building into Club Quarters Hotels, as well as their very own corporate headquarters at 1245 West Washington Boulevard in Chicago. Mike Faron currently serves as Chairman of the Chicago Office of W.E. O’Neil. Legendary Landmark Colonel Jennifer N. Pritzker is a retired U.S. Army officer, investor, and philanthropist. Col. Pritzker is President and CEO of Tawani Enterprises, Inc., President of the Tawani Foundation, and Founder and Chair of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library. Pritzker served in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, and Illinois Army National Guard from which she retired in 2001 as a lieutenant colonel with an honorary promotion to full colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard. She is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago with a B.A. in History and the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and received an honorary doctorate from Norwich University where she served as an active trustee for 10 years. Col. Jennifer Pritzker is guided by her core belief that it is important to build inherent value in any business entity one owns. As an investor and philanthropist with an emphasis on communities, she is passionate about restoration, preservation and property management and understands it requires serious commitment and resources. The list of Col. Pritzker’s real estate achievements is impressive: the Monroe Building; Farcroft by the Lake; the Emil Bach House; the Mayne Stage; the Lang House Bed & Breakfast; Stone Porch by the Lake; and the restored row houses and new construction on Chicago’s Chestnut Street. With access to capital and dedicated to successful undertakings, Pritzker is able to create wealth, uplift communities, modernize neighborhoods, improve the quality of life, and make an impact in a positive way. Page 2 of 4 For three generations, The Neal FaMily has collectively championed Chicago as a world-class city and left their mark on its physical and cultural landscape. Originally established in 1938 by Earl J. Neal, the law firm of Neal & Leroy has advised and represented clients in the designation, development and protection of historic landmarks and landmark districts including the Reliance Building, the Chicago Theater, properties in the Motor Row District, and the recent relocation of the landmark Rees House to name a few. His son Earl L. Neal joined the firm in 1955 and it is now one of the oldest minority owned and operated firms in the United States. Earl shared his life with Isobel Hoskins Neal for 49 years. Isobel Neal is a patron of the arts who has long cultivated Chicago's robust cultural community. She opened the Isobel Neal Gallery which operated for ten years in the gallery district as she saw the need to promote and represent African American artists. Mrs. Neal currently serves as a Life Trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Art Institute of Chicago where she also is a member of the Leadership Advisory Committee and the Museum Education Committee; Chicago Sister Cities International Casablanca Committee; and the University of Chicago Women’s Board. The Neal family’s impact on Chicago continues through Earl and Isobel Neal’s son, Langdon Neal, Managing Partner and owner of Neal & Leroy, along with his wife Jeanette Sublett, also a Managing Partner at the firm. Mr. Neal joined the firm in 1981 and has advised and represented municipalities, public agencies, and other public trusts in the areas of real estate transactions, zoning, land use and development, and public/private transactions. Similarly, Ms. Sublett has acquired property to create public parks surrounding historic structures including the campus park adjacent to Wendell Phillips Academy High School, designated a Chicago Landmark in 2003, and preserving historic buildings in connection with the City of Chicago’s 47th Street Redevelopment Project. The Neal Family is the first to be recognized as a Family Legendary Landmark. Past Legendary LandMarks have included: Abbott; Founder and President of Antunovich Associates Joseph Antunovich; Joffrey Ballet Artistic Director Gerald Arpino; Major League Hall of Fame baseball player Ernie Banks; Grace Barry; civic leader John Bryan; banker and philanthropist Norman Bobins and his wife Virginia; Bulley & Andrews; Richard Driehaus; Lee Flaherty; Chicago-based artist Theaster Gates; art gallery owner Richard Gray; Leslie Hindman; Chicago International Film Festival Founder Michael Kutza; jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis; Susan and Lew Manilow; former Field Museum President John McCarter; Alexandra and John Nichols; award winning actor, director, writer and producer Harold Ramis; Bernie and Jane Sahlins; Chicago Cultural Historian Tim Samuelson; photographer Victor Skrebneski; Target; Vice Chairman of Terlato Wine Group John A.

Pritzker’s incoming chief of staff Anne Caprara will be paid a salary of $298,000 — $148,000 in state money and $150,000 more from East Jackson Street LLC, an organization Pritzker set up to “enable the governor-elect to per- sonally compensate some staff in addition to their government sala- ry,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

  • Who Are the Rich, White Men Institutionalizing Transgender
    Exceedingly rich, white men (and women) who invest in biomedical companies are funding myriad transgender organizations whose agenda will make them gobs of money. As an environmental activist who was deplatformed from a speaking venue by transactivists, in 2013 I developed curiosity about the power of this group to force this development. A year later, when Time magazine announced a transgender tipping point on its cover, I had already begun to examine the money behind the transgender project. I have watched as all-women’s safe spaces, universities, and sports opened their doors to any man who chose to identify as a woman. Whereas men who identify as transwomen are at the forefront of this project, women who identify as transmen seem silent and invisible. I was astonished that such a huge cultural change as the opening of sex- protected spaces was happening at such a meteoric pace and without consideration for women and girls’ safety, deliberation, or public debate. Concurrent with these rapid changes, I witnessed an overhaul in the English language with new pronouns and a near-tyrannical assault on those who did not use them. Laws mandating new speech were passed. Laws overriding biological sex with the amorphous concept of gender identity are being instituted now. People who speak openly about these changes can *ind themselves, their families, and their livelihoods threatened. These elements, along with media saturation of the issue, had me wondering, Is this really a civil rights issue for a tiny part of the population with body dysphoria, or is there a bigger agenda with moneyed interests that we are not seeing- This article can only begin to gra e the surface of this .uestion, but considering transgenderism has basically exploded in the middle of capitalism, which is notorious for subsuming social justice movements, there is value in beginning this examination.

This Memorial will be a critical piece of the Pritzker Archives and Memorial Park Center currently under development in Somers, Wisconsin. In ways both small and large, The Cold War shaped our country’s history. Between 1945 and 1991, the U.S. and the Soviet Union were locked in a titanic battle of competing visions for organizing their societies and the world. The two superpowers were not technically at war with each other. Still, the war for ideological dominance spurred a nuclear arms build-up, a space race, economic and industrial competition, and a string of proxy wars that drew Americans into battle against not only Soviet aggression but also Communist China and a slew of other powers.

THE BEST THINGS MONEY CAN BUY Understatement is the hallmark of true luxury, says Vikas Oberoi www.forbesindia.com LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Rich Is a State of Mind ahul Gandhi was perhaps on to something when he said some time back that poverty is a state of mind. What he did not elaborate R on was how this state of mind has become the guiding principle in Indian political discourse. Politicians love poverty, since it gives them endless opportunities to tax everybody and everything and focus on pork-barrel schemes to “alleviate” this condition. Sorry, we don’t buy this. We think it is glorious to be rich, especially when it is the result of our own eff orts. It is time to rekindle the spirit of human aspiration by changing our thinking. We should foster richness rather than poverty as a state of mind. It requires no genius to tell us that it is aspiration that creates growth and wealth. It is in the process of aspiring INDIA for something and making eff orts to meet our desires that we collectively end up pushing growth. In the process, we also pull everybody up to a better life. It is with this attitude in mind that we present this luxury special where we focus on The Best Things Money Can Buy, among other things.
