I want everyone to know my appreciation of about twenty school children from Dewey School, who were waiting at Rosedale and Washington for their school van on April 18, 1985. I stubbed my right toe and fell with all my weight on my left hip.
Although I tried to break the fall, I suffered two broken bones in my hip and muscle damage. I screamed for help.
The school children ran to my aid.
This happened at 6048 Washington when I was on my way to the mail box: I asked the children to telephone 911; two boys stayed with me.
I was rushed to Charter Hospital by city ambulance and treated in emergency.
I was operated on the next day.
All Union District police officers and paramedics treated me kindly. I stayed at Charter and got kind and dedicated care.
These children saved my life. I hope to live here as long as I can.
We have a “Proud” St. Louis.
Thanks again, kids. —Theresa O’Connell 60xx Washington
