A journalist based in New York is working on an ESPN Films documentary about 1980s Chicago basketball star Ben Wilson. Wilson went to Simeon H.S. and was tragically killed in November 1984 the day before his senior season began; the outpouring of grief city-wide was unprecedented. Here is were we can help because many of Wilson's friends told us in interviews about how they used to go to Mendel for parties and dances in the early 1980s. And according to them, these events were filmed. I would love to find this somehow, and I figured that the Mendel Alumni Association might be able to help. Anyone out there know about the filming and where we can find them? Let me know... email me at rondmendel63@hotmail.com
