Alex,
My sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your mom. I remember her fondly from my youth when she lived in Chicago. She was indeed a very gracious and kind person. Bob Lewin was correct about your dad chasing us kids away from the corner because of noise, but as I got older, I realized we WERE making too much noise. I will be remembering Teri in my prayers!

To the Pontecore family,
My name is Robert Lewin. My family lived at 1330 Cornelia and when I was a small child Alex used to walk me to St. Andrew school.
I wish to express my sympathy to the family on the loss of Mrs. Pontecore. I remember as a child we would play baseball on the corner of Lakewood and Cornelia and Mickey would chase us away because we made too much noise.
My condolences to the family,
Bob Lewin
