Catherine M. Haack

In the short time I knew Catherine at Skaalen, I found her to be one of my favorite people there. She was kind and gentle and always had stories to share with me. She will be missed but not forgotten. My deepest sympathy, Sarah G.

We bought Mrs. Haack's house on Regent Street in 1990, enjoyed meeting her, and regret that we lost touch with her. Her old neighbors here remember her fondly. We often mention her name because we would like to have asked her many questions about this old house and her life in it. She and her husband were only the second owners of this house, built in 1906, and we're only the third. We've always felt connected to her, and we've tried to take good care of her house. Alan was doubly sorry about not staying in touch when he read the obit and learned that the Haacks had owned the bike shop on E Washington where he bought his first Schwinn. Rest in peace, Mrs. Haack!
