I will always remember Olga as our Sunday School teacher many, many (too many) years ago at Sts. P&P on 91st and Avalon. Remember her also as an avid ballet fan and Roseann's Dance Studio where Sharon and I took lessons. Some years ago while visiting my own Mother back in Chicago, Olga mentioned that she had movies of one of our recitals where we did Ms. Lody's interpretation of Swan Lake, along with a Milk Maid and Pony Number. I do hope the family holds on to them. What an immensely talented lady she was as well - she made pretty nearly all our costumes for our recitals and they were exquisite. My condolences to the family; Olga will always be remembered as a beautiful and talented woman.
