The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
In the age of the BlackBerry, a Rolodex is an awfully old-fashioned way of keeping track of phone numbers.
But then, Mayor Daley's former patronage director, Robert Sorich, is an old-fashioned guy.
Sorich kept an extensive Rolodex filled with 300 names and telephone numbers -- until his Rolodex was seized by FBI agent John Hauser on April 29, 2005, in a raid on Sorich's fourth-floor office at City Hall.
Here's a few interesting names on the list.
Thomas DiPiazza, a Bridgeport developer and Degnan business partner. Reached on his cell phone Wednesday, DiPiazza called Sorich "a great person'' and declined to comment further.
and
Ronald Marasso, a son-in-law of the late Ald. Fred Roti who works at McCormick Place.
Even today in 2008,
Alderman Roti can still make the newspaper.You'll notice Thomas DiPiazza and Ronald Marasso on this family
