Alamo “Duke” Lynch
Hibernian Radio going to the vault for this Thanksgiving weekend show and Houli takes us back to the last interview with our late friend James “Alamo” “Duke” Lynch, who was our favorite guest of all time, 18 shows, 39 years Chicago Police, 15 years as Mayor Daley’s bodyguard, Vietnam Vet, Bronze Star recipient and one of the all-time characters and coppers of Chicago. This was Alamo’s last show and he knew it, as his cancer was slowly ravaging him. He tell some great stories on this show including: working as a cop on many of the films shot in Chicago, working with Mel Gibson and Jack Nicholson, ; his O’Hare airport story when he returned from Viet Nam and punched out a Hari Krishna guy at the airport, reminiscing about his late dad, “the Chief” who was head of the States Attorney Police back in the day, Alamo talking about his five kids and ten grandchildren, his RnR in Australia and brief romance with an Irish nurse, shooting the guy in the hospital parking lot who was raping a nurse, and…well Alamo has the best stories and tells us his favorite cop stories. God bless him, he was the best friend to all of us. Then it’s on to the obits where we mourn our late friend CFD Battalion Chief Mike Miller, who is being waked this Monday with St. Cajetan’s funeral Tuesday, and finally a trip to Houli Town with a dirty joke from our old friend Betty Loren Maltese. Great show!
