Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt’s winning charm has garnered her plenty of recognition this time in the form of a note and flowers from President Joe Biden himself.
Along with the bouquet of flowers, the president sent a note to the 104-year-old Loyola icon during his visit last week: “Dear Sister Jean, Thinking of you during my trip to Chicago today! Keep the Faith!”
Leading driver John MacDonald had five wins on the Saturday, Oct. 7 card of harness racing at Vernon Downs, including a win with Discus Hanover in the $8,000 featured trot.
