On a personal note: I neglected to remind myself of an important anniversary last week. On Dec. 1, 1958 there was a school fire at Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School in Chicago that killed 92 children and 3 nuns. Chronicled in the book "To Sleep with the Angels" this tragedy led to significant changes in fire codes, especially for schools. My aunt was a surviving nun who lost her best friend Sister Mary Clare Therese Champagne. My aunt's classroom was saved by a priest who made his way up the smoky stairway to unlock her classroom door. Yes, in those days locked doors. As a child I knew Sr. Mary Clare and many of the nuns. The day after the fire my father and I walked through some of the ruins. That's a memory that remains. Maybe that's why I missed remembering the anniversary last week.
