WESTON,
Kristine (née
MYSZKOWSKI)
After a difficult six-month long struggle with cancer, our Kristine
passed away quietly at Grace Hospital on Thursday, November 30,
2006 at the age of 58, surrounded by loving family and Friends.
Cherished firstborn daughter of mother Janina of Toronto and
her late father Florian
MYSZKOWSKI,
Kristine was born in Lincoln,
England. She spent the first 8 years of her life in Buenos Aires,
coming to Canada in 1956. Beloved sister of Margaret
BOBET of
Geneva, Switzerland and Angela
MYSZKOWSKI of Collingwood, and
adored (and adoring) aunt Tissie to Jessica and Olivia
BOBET.
Always a larger than life personality with an innate sense of
style and fashion, a resonant laugh and brilliant smile, Kristine
began her working life teaching early elementary grades. She
was a charismatic, creative and energetic teacher, much loved
by her kids. She would later find her niche in executive recruitment
as a researcher and consultant with Al Beech and Associates,
as a corporate manager at Manulife Financial, and as an entrepreneur
and consultant forming her own company Kris Weston and Associates.
One of her proudest accomplishments in recent years was completion
of the Washington Marathon in the fall of 2005 as a member of
Jean's Marines. Kris will be dearly missed by her family and
a large group of Friends who actively supported her through some
of the worst moments of her life. She will be remembered as a
true dog lover (Riley and Bentley), as a woman with a passion
for living and for enjoying every moment to its fullest, a caregiver
extraordinaire, an avid movie goer, reader and traveller, an
Outward Bound graduate, an enthusiastic and caring friend, sister,
daughter and aunt. Friends may call at the Ralph Day Funeral
Home, 180 Danforth Avenue, between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m.
on Tuesday. All are welcome to attend the memorial service for
Kristine to be held at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The family and Kris' circle of Friends express deepest gratitude
to Kris' medical team at Princess Margaret Hospital and Toronto
General Hospital and to the skilled and compassionate palliative
care team at the Salvation Army's Grace Hospital in Toronto.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Palliative Care
Floor at the Grace Hospital (416-925-2251), would be greatly
appreciated.

'Loss of a giant'
Tributes pour in for the renowned Dutton-born economist.
By John MINER, Free Press Reporter and News Services, Mon., May 1,
Dutton -- "It is the loss of a giant."
News of the death of world renowned economist John Kenneth
GALBRAITH,
97, was greeted with sadness yesterday in his hometown, where
the library bears his name and people say they've forgiven him
for his 1964 book poking fun at the area.
Leafing through letters from
GALBRAITH in her second-floor Main
Street
Dutton studio, Jenny
PHILLIPS said the former advisor
to U.S. presidents -- who died Saturday -- will be missed by
residents.
"We got a little bit of star quality because of him," said
PHILLIPS,
who helped spearhead the drive to have
GALBRAITH recognized with
a plaque and library renaming.
"He was one of the good ones. I don't believe they make men like
that anymore with morals and ethics who don't mind going to bat
against anybody. He was a giant."
Tributes came in yesterday to the towering intellectual from
around the world.
British
Finance
Minister Gordon Brown said
GALBRAITH advised
him and others in recent years with insights into the modern
age. "He will be remembered for his erudition, his wit and eloquence,
and particularly for his economic insights into our age," he
said.
Senator
Edward
Kennedy --
GALBRAITH served his brother in the
White House -- lauded
GALBRAITH's "profound commitment to social
justice."
"I know how much President Kennedy admired his genius, valued
his Friendship and loved his extraordinary wit, and so did I,"
he said.
"Our affluent society is a fairer and more just society today
because of Ken, and no one who knew him will ever forget him."
Free
Reporter
Randy
RICHMOND, among the last Canadian journalists
to interview
GALBRAITH, said his "grace" impressed him most when
he interviewed him in 2003.
"He spoke as someone who had been through a lot of wars and had
a lot of wisdom. He would take verbal potshots at his enemies,
but it was always with humour," he said.
At the farm where
GALBRAITH was born October 15, 1908, southwest
of London, owner Robert
BOBIER regrets he wasn't able to take
GALBRAITH up on his invitation to visit him in the U.S.
GALBRAITH had been back to the family farm several times, once
for the making of a British Broadcasting Corporation film.
"He was a smart, smart man," said
BOBIER.
At the farm,
GALBRAITH is commemorated with an Inuit inukshuk,
a rock monument.
After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1931,
GALBRAITH
moved to the U.S. where he earned his Ph.D. in economics from
the University of California.
He taught at Harvard from 1934 to 1939 and
at Princeton University
from 1939 to 1942.
GALBRAITH returned to Harvard in 1948, remaining active there
until retiring in 1975.
He served as adviser to Democratic presidents from Franklin D.
Roosevelt to Bill Clinton and was John F. Kennedy's ambassador
to India.
GALBRAITH became one of America's best-known liberals and was
outspoken in his support of government action to solve social
problems.
The author of more than 20 books, his 1958 work The Affluent
Society caused the U.S. to reconsider its values and helped propel
him into the international spotlight.
The book argued the American economy was producing individual
wealth, but hadn't adequately addressed public needs such as
schools and highways.
But it was a book
GALBRAITH wrote while ambassador in India,
The Scotch, that infuriated locals in his home area.
Yesterday, the book was repeatedly mentioned by Dutton residents,
but people said they were over it.
"Time heals everything," said
BOBIER.
PHILLIPS said there was nothing in the book others hadn't said,
but GALBRAITH wrote it down.
"I don't think he ever intended to be rude," she said.
GALBRAITH's nephew, Jerry
GALBRAITH of the Dutton area, said
his uncle was particularly pleased when Dutton named its library
after him.
"He always spoke about the library and wrote to us several times
about it. He was quite honoured," he said.
When GALBRAITH couldn't make the trip to Canada for a plaque
unveiled in his honour, the Free Press's
RICHMOND interviewed
him at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The one question
GALBRAITH avoided answering was what he saw
as his own legacy.
"He said that was up to other people to decide. He never wanted
to talk about his own heroics,"
RICHMOND said.
In that 2003 interview,
GALBRAITH said his greatest political
accomplishment was during the Second World War when he was a
central part of the successful effort to keep inflation under
control.
Asked what he would rank as his greatest failure,
GALBRAITH replied:
"That is not my disposition, but I would have no doubt that in
the United States, and also in Canada, our greatest failure has
been in the very large number of people who live in poverty,
deprivation, concern as to life next week, next year."
John Kenneth Galbraith
Born: October 15, 1908, in Iona Station.
Education: B.S., University of Toronto, 1931; M.S., Ph.D., University
of California, 1934.
Experience: From 1934 to 1939, he was an instructor and tutor
at Harvard. Also taught at the University of California and at
Princeton before returning to Harvard in 1948 as a lecturer in
economics. Promoted to professor in 1949 and in 1959 became the
Warburg Professor of Economics. He retired in 1975.
GALBRAITH organized and oversaw price controls during the Second
World War as deputy administrator in the Office of Price Administration.
President
Kennedy appointed
GALBRAITH ambassador to India, where
he served from 1961 to 1963.
Family: Wife, Catherine Atwater
GALBRAITH. Sons, Alan, Peter
and James.

conservatives, and no function either." -- From a 1992 article
