About me:	I am 80 today and I was 12 at the time of the fire. I lived in an adjacent South Side neighborhood. The memory of this day has haunted me for a lifetime. I am also a writer so I have written a Historical Fiction book intended as a memorial to Our Lady of Angels. It is called the Ashes of Saint Sorrows.
