I skipped the UDP's because I knew early on I wouldn't pay someone to do it for me, I didn't like the bad things that could happen if I did it myself, and I also knew Tom would sell me his Saleen SC and I would have to undo the UDP's anyway.

Veteran robbed, killed on way to deposit money from benefit
November 19, 2009 3:33 PM | No Comments
William Burtner survived Vietnam and dedicated his life to helping veterans.
On Monday, Burtner was about to enter a Midlothian bank to deposit money the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2808 had raised during a benefit.
He never made it inside.
Burtner, 65, was assaulted and robbed outside the bank and rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, authorities said. He died Wednesday night.
An autopsy today concluded Burtner died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease and fractured ribs from the assault, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. It ruled the death a homicide.
Burtner was about to deposit proceeds from a VFW benefit last weekend for Chicago area World War II veterans so they could visit a war memorial in Washington, D.C., according to Katherine Foss, a family friend.
Police were questioning a suspect today who may be responsible for other robberies in the area. No other details were available.
Burtner grew up in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood and held several jobs, most recently as a custodian at a Southwest Side post office. Burtner also installed furnaces at one time, worked at a glass company and was a truck mechanic, Foss said.
He survived two tours of combat in Vietnam, all the time hoping his brother wouldn't have to follow him. He had been active in his VFW post for 25 years.
He underwent lung cancer surgery 3 ½ years ago and was undergoing chemotherapy, Foss said, adding that his doctor told family members he was showing great progress.
His doctor had described him as a "strong tough guy," Foss said. "She said he was doing great."
Details of the assault were not immediately available from police.

On another note.. I'm pretty excited to pick up my "sooped up" mustang today. I went ahead and ran it dry of gas and put 93 in it all week. So I should have the 93 tune uploaded when I get it back. I'm interested to see how much I will notice the difference.
