I remember meeting Kathy the very beginning of 8th grade - I only met her a short time before she died as we had always been in different classrooms. I believe she was a cheerleader with us for the OLA football team. We stopped at Moon's Restaurant for their notorious french fries. Her mother had died a few years back and she lived with her Dad. She was a very sweet girl and I liked her very much. I remember at that time I could tell she had asthma. The day of the fire I remember hearing that she was one of the first people the television station announced that had died.

Kathy only lived a block down the street from me. I lived at 1136 N.Kedvale. She was in and out of our house on a fairly regular basis. My dad loved to tease with her. He had a pet name for her. We rolled up the carpeting in our living room to learn dance steps to the latest music. Our house was a meeting place for many of the kids in the neighborhood. Kathy always had a smile.

We lived downstairs from Nancy, Kathleen, Richard & Billy. The Hagertys were connected through relatives with the McCarthy family. Kathleen taught me how to jump rope. I was much younger and remember their family with great heartfelt admiration. When visiting relatives who have passed and lay in rest at Queen Of Heaven, I stop at the ANGELS MEMORIAL first. I have kept their memory alive and will for my time on earth. Cares & prayers to all family & friends of the Angels.
We used to draw on the sidewalk with coal chips that heated the house. Our fathers use to treat us to Jimmy's hot dogs & fries at Pulaski & Grand. We lived at Kedvale & Iowa, in the second house next to the Mastorisis & the Morans, across the street from the KINSELLA family. Mrs. Kinsella cut hair for all the kids on the block. Their son became a priest from Our Lady of Angels. We moved to St. Williams Parish west of.
