My Aunt Val was an inspriation to me as I was growing up in Chicago. She was a professional, single woman who travel the world and loved to talk politics. She was smart, ambitious, tall and thin. She awlays wore the finest clothes, had perfect hair and lived a rich life in the city. Most of all, Aunt Val did things women of her era rarely did and she always did them with great gusto.

My aunt Val is the last of the eight children of Mary and James Casey. I lost my mother when I was eight years old and typical of a motherless young girl I looked to other women to influence me and serve as role models. Val was the strongest woman in my life and helped to guide me in so many ways. She was very independent in the days before women's rights. She traveled the world and visited places we dare not go to today. She valued education and was a lifelong learner. She was an avid reader and surrounded herself with books. She was a woman with strong convictions and confident in expressing her ideas. What a woman to model myself after; I am a better person for having her in my life.

Val was a brilliant woman who devoted herself to her family, community and country. She will be missed by many because she touched so many lives. My heartfelt best wishes go to her family and friends at this difficult time.

I am Dr. Kenneth R. Millar, the Prinicpal of the William E. Dever School. I retire at the end of June after working for CPS for 35 years. It was Miss Casey that gave me my start. I was a music student teacher at Young School in 1970. Miss Casey hired me in September of 70 to be the 8th grade science teacher. She was a wonderful principal, one I have thought of often as I too became a principal. In the early 70's I was IA and the draft board was waiting for me. Miss Casey appeared before a deferment boared and charmed the board into giving me a teaching deferment. I was number 11 in the draft lottery and feel that Miss Casey saved me from going to Vietnam. It was Miss Casey who encouraged me to go back to school to get my Masters degree only to find out that she was retiring in June of 1978 and she was preparing me to take over as the assistant principal of Young. She sent me in the direction of administration and I have always been appreciative of all she has done for me and my career. Her memory will always be with me.

Dear Cousins, Please accept our sincere sympathy on Val's death.
We exchanged Christmas Cards and talked once and awhile. She was a great lady. Her mother, Mary, and my mother,Theresa were sisters. We often talked about our travels as she loved to see places. Again, our sincere sympathy. Terry and John Hupp
