I am the staff writer for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources magazine Outdoor Illinois and, in doing research for an upcoming story about July 14, 1954 (the hottest temperature ever recorded in Illinois was at East St. Louis on that date), I stumbled across your blog entry recalling the passing of your grandfather during that heat wave. If you would you be interested in sharing your recollections of that hot day for our magazine, I would be grateful. I can be reached at my office at Giant City State Park near Carbondale, Ill. at (618) 549-7553. Or I can be reached via e-mail at joe.mcfarland@illinois.gov
