Summer Sessions on the Square

11/27/2013

It brings Summer Sessions on the Square great sadness when learning that Clayton Wooldridge passed away unexpected this past Saturday.

Clayton was one of the key crew members who volunteered his time to get Summer Sessions on the Square off the ground in 2009 and continued to be a key contributor up until he left Logan Square, Chicago in 2012. Logan Square wouldn't be the same without Clayton's contribution to making a difference for his community and the people's paths he crossed. Clayton will be missed.
