Almighty 24th and Whipple Gaylords
Lords of 24th and Whipple
A retired 24th and Whipple Gaylord (Little Stew) had this to say about his section: Our section was
active from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s, when most of the members left to serve their country, as most of us were in
the Harrison High School's ROTC program. We controlled from 21st to 26st Street, and from Whipple Street to Western Avenue,
the Harrison High School area. Our colors were blue and gray, and our jackets had big "G"s for Gaylords.
We hung out in front of the book store across from Harrison High School, and at 25th and Rockwell,
in a garage where we fixed up and rode Cushman and Whizzer Motorbikes, eventually we got into Harleys.
We had around 60 members. We defended our neighborhood against the Satan Disciples and the Latin Kings. Our neighborhood was made up
of mostly Polish and Irish.
