delivered by Tom O'Shaughnessy at Truth Restaurant 24 Jan 13: I would like to say a few words to remember "Grandma Diggy" Diggy and Jean Lennon's cousin Norman Canty researched the Canty family history after he retired and he shared his research with his cousins: - Binder: Art Canty To explain his family research, Norman reminded his cousins: "Let's face it, some of our Grandchildren have no idea who we are." After reviewing a suitcase full of Grandma Diggy's papers I received last summer, I understand what Norman was talking about. I found some history about Diggy to share with our family and friends. - 1942 - cetificate: elected to National Honor Society at Calumet High School - 1946 - hired as United Air Lines passenger agent at "Chicago Municipal Airport" (now known as Chicago Midway Airport) - 1947 - United Air Lines Vice President, responding to a letter from the Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate, wrote: - Miss Canty has a very good record with our company. - She is doing an exceptionally good job. - 1948 - photo: Chicago Daily News - 1949 - Diploma: United Air Lines Stewardess Training, Cheyenne - interim personnel report: "Miss Canty completed three months service as a Mainliner Stewardess...during this period of time, her work has been well above average. Many favorable comments have already been received from passengers regarding her. - 1965-1982 she learned the ropes in residential real estate with William R. Schomburg Inc REALTORS - In her resume, she wrote: Assumed full responsibility for all aspects of the business from January to June 1981 during employer's illness - 1984 - hired by U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics - Accurately measured a statistical sample of prices for the Consumer Price Index - The CPI is used to determine cost-of-living adjustments, for instance, so if you're a government employee or receive government benefits, think of Grandma Diggy next time you get a COLA increase! - the government collects price data on a voluntary basis, so one of the biggest challenges was to persuade reluctant businesses to provide their data to the government. - Diggy excelled at gaining their cooperation, as reflected in one of her performance reports: "Collects data from previously initiated businesses; including the more difficult and historically difficult outlets." - Received at least eight awards in 15 years with the BLS I would like us to remember our sister, Awee, our mother, our Grandma Diggy; our aunt and cousin Alice and our friend, who took pride in her family and friends, took pride in her work, and took pride in her country. Thank you
