Margery Kreeger Fridstein Margery Kreeger Fridstein, formerly of Glencoe, passed away peacefully Nov. 4 in Highlands Ranch, Colo. Margery was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Robert B. Fridstein. Margy and Bob married in Chicago and raised their four children in Glencoe. With children at home, she served on the executive board of the League of Woman Voters, PTA and Glencoe planning commission. In the mid-1960s the woman’s movement had a great influence on her. In 1968, she received her graduate degree in counseling from Northwestern University followed by specialized training in child therapy at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. Margy was the Director of Mental Health Education and Psychotherapist at the Josselyn Center in Northfield Ilinois. She continued in private psychotherapy practice in Illinois and Colorado for over 40 years, retiring in 2012. She balanced her studies and career with being a devoted mother, wife and friend. In 1988 she and Bob moved to Snowmass Village, Colo. In addition to her psychotherapy practice, Margy was a consultant to schools and agencies in the Roaring Fork Valley, and a volunteer for Hospice, the Aspen Valley Hospital and Aspen Camp for the Deaf. She wrote weekly advice columns in the Aspen Times and the Snowmass Sun. Her first book, “Grandparenting: A Survival Guide” was published in 1997. She and Bob enjoyed their beautiful mountain surroundings, becoming avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts and hosted many wonderful gatherings of family and friends. In 2008 they moved to the Vi at Highlands Ranch which would be their “last stop.” Margy continued her psychotherapy practice, volunteered in the public schools and assumed the leadership role as Vi’s elected President of the Residents Advisory Committee. In 2010 she was a Denver Post Colorado Voices columnist. Following that, she wrote a monthly online column, “The Last Stop with Margy Fridstein” chronicling her experience living in her CCRC in SeniorHomes.com. These articles are the basis for her second book. As a writer and retired psychotherapist, Margy focused her later years in providing counsel and guidance to helping others adapt to the new 21st century experience of aging, health and dying. She was a role model in her own life by directly addressing the important issues surrounding aging and death. Margy was the devoted mother of four children: Peggy (Raymond) Gordon, Thomas (Darlene) Fridstein, Kathy Fridstein (Mark Manley) and Nancy Fridstein (Richard Tallian) and the loving grandmother to 11 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. Her warmth, intelligence and curiosity have also inspired her extended family including nieces, nephews, sister and sister/brothers-in-laws. A Remembrance Service will be held at 2 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Vi of Highlands Ranch in Colorado. Memorial contributions may be made in Margy’s name to Youth Zone; youthzone.com: The Denver Hospice; thedenverhospice.org: Josselyn Center; josselyn.org. Maureen Lee Bogle Longtime Chicago resident and former Central School instructor of 23 years Maureen Lee “Moby” Bogle, the last surviving member of her family’s generation, passed away peacefully Nov. 17 after a short illness. Bogle was born in 1924 in a log cabin near Pine Creek, Idaho, at the family’s sawmill. She grew up in Washington and attended school in Spokane. Later, she enrolled at the University of California and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, finally completing both her BAE and MAE degrees at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1948. Moby was an exceptional scientific illustrator of natural history subjects and later developed into an accomplished enamelist, while at the same time employed as an art instructor at Glencoe’s Central School for 23 years. She will be greatly missed by both family and colleagues who experienced firsthand her enthusiasm for both travel and the arts. Have someone’s life you’d like to honor?

Those rotating items will typically come and go according to the season. “I just work according to seasonal product,” Fliou said. “That’s how we learn to cook Anderson From Page 17 accept the messes we both brought to the table. Fairly soon I was seeing a remarkable pattern emerge as the mini muffins we baked were enjoyed for breakfast and also gifted to a family that had just moved in. The frosted sugar cookies were painstakingly decorated and divvied up to our extra kind neighbors. Little loaves of chocolate bread (with the aforementioned extra chocolate chips) served as birthday treats for my husband when his 36th birthday rolled around.

But it’s very important, in France we are taught this way — [working] with seasonal product. You have to figure it out with what you have on the market.” Everything on the menu will be made from scratch every day, Fliou said. Whether he’s working with duck, pork sausages, braised shortribs or seafood, Fliou said the job is all about knowing what customers want — in fact, he seeks feedback from his customers. “When you are a responsible chef, you have to cook for your customers, first,” he said. “You don’t cook for you. You cook for you on your day off, in your kitchen for you and your hobby and balanced our shortcomings, the more joy we were able to spread around. Baking didn’t just delight me and my kids, it seemed to carry that good feeling down the street and out into the world. I’ll confess … it’s good to be forced out of a comfort zone. Though I fret often over broken eggshells and a sink full of messy dishes, I also recognize that an adventure should be messy and full of mistakes. For example, there is a famed story in my family about my mother’s homemade apple pie and my younger sister’s insistence on carrying it to a bake sale.

In addition to the new executive chef, the rest of the staff will be brand new, from the wait staff to the cook staff.

As a kid, I always thought the takeaway lesson was “let your mother carry the pie.” As an adult and mother, I now see that the true lesson is this: Let your kids try. Allow them to fail with grace. Go with it. And then get back in the kitchen to try again. Kelly Q. Anderson is a writer, photographer, and former Chicagoan.
