Watson makes Jeopardy appearance on Monday

According to the Chicago Department of Aviation's website:

"Midway Airport originally opened in 1927 as Chicago's Municipal Airport. [...] In 1949, the City of Chicago officially renamed the airport in honor of the Battle of Midway."

More about O'Hare, his father is the lawyer (thanks for correction Marc) who ratted out Al Capone.

"I knew Daniel O'Hare was a war hero"

He may have been but O'Hare Airport was named after Lt Cdr Edward "Butch" O'Hare the US Navy's first ace and a Medal of Honor winner who died in combat in 1943. The odd thing about this all is the fact he did not live in Chicago! When his parents divorced he remained with his mother who was in St Louis and attended the Western Military Academy at his fathers' insistence (and later graduated from the Naval Academy).

While his father moved to Chicago after the divorce "Butch" most certainly did not grow up there despite several "stories" to the contrary.

And as a point of fact his father was a lawyer, not an accountant.

Oops! I meant Edward, don't know where I got Daniel. Another senior moment.

And I guess I was misinformed about Midway Airport's name. Sorry ... I was 7 when it was given that name. Don't remember it.
