So - here's a throwback for Andrew Flor (who must be the Blackhawk's most avid historian and fan) and all our other resident Blackhawk devotees.
From the time I was 11-15 years old, in the neighbohood that I grew-up - Albany park, I worked at a drugstore - called 'Black Drugs', which was located on the corner of Sacramento and Montrose.
In that time, the pharmacist/ owner of Black Drugs was Sid Stern, who was also claimed and otherwise known to be the 'pharmacist to the Blackhawks' (as well as - to the Bears and the Bulls).
And, while I can't say whether it had any correlation to Sid's duties - as their 'pharmacist' (although - it seemed likely), or, if it stemmed from something different, in any event, on a number of weekday-evenings during the year, we would close the store early (and a line would form well down the block) for certain players that would come and sign autographs in the store.
Black Drugs has long ago closed - but, this picture is remnant from one of those 'autograph' evenings at the store (it is signed to 'Sid Stern' and his wife - 'Sherri'). I figure it was taken in 1971 or 1972. It is Keith Magnuson, Sid Stern, and Cliff Koroll.
