Paul Addison (1970)

I remember Christine from Liberty School. After she was diagnosed with bone cancer (technically osteogenic sarcoma), she had one leg amputated. She played piano, and I still recall her playing at a piano recital, after setting her crutches down and positioning herself on the bench. It was one of the most courageous things I have ever seen. I have visited her gravesite at Calumet Park Cemetery multiple times.

Paul.  Many thanks for posting this remembrance. I remember Christine from our kindergarten class (picured above ) taken in the educational wing of the newly constructed Hobart Presbyterian Church which was home to preschool education programs (the two teachers depicted are Mrs Zimmerman left and Mrs White on the right) as well as our participation in the youth choir referened in the obituary .

I have only a few memories of Christine because Liberty Elementary was divided into classes alphabetically. Still, I knew her well enough that when her obituary appeared in the newspaper, I cut it out and pasted it in my diary. (I think that photo is the original that I gave you.) A few years later her brother, Peter, sat at my lunchroom table when Miss Fountain's class had the table captain duty. In the early 2000s, I managed to find Peter due to the wonders of the internet. His mother was still living at that point. He was pleased that some of her classmates still remembered her.
