BOURBONNAIS — Tired, his feet aching, George McCaskey sent his mother a picture of Gate 0 at Soldier Field.
“I told her I’d completed the walk,” he said Friday. “Her response was, ‘I’ve just completed my rosary of Thanksgiving.’”
Virginia McCaskey didn’t like what her son had done. His wife wasn’t thrilled about it. And the Bears’ security director definitely wasn’t amused.
McCaskey had agreed to keep his quest quiet. The Bears chairman was instructed to keep it hidden even from some family members, for fear word would get out that the man who ran the Bears was walking alone for 11-straight days last month.
