Gaston home boarded up
Workmen from A & D Property Services board up the windows at the home of Thelma and Jesse Gaston in the 1500 block of East 69th Street where the two elderly people were rescued on Monday, May 24 after being buried under floor-to-ceiling debris in their South Side two-flat. The stench was so strong that firefighters donned hazardous-material suits, authorities said.
