Sen. Kirk, recovering from stroke, climbs 37 stories of Willis Tower
(MCT) — CHICAGO — Sen. Mark Kirk climbed more than three dozen flights of stairs in Chicago’s tallest building during a charity event Sunday, but his staff would not say when the senator will return to Congress after his stroke.
Kirk’s climb, his first public appearance since he was stricken nine months ago, was not announced in advance. The senator was unavailable for an interview, and his aides did not respond to questions.
