A
collection of photographs of celebrities who have stepped up
through the years to support our Shriner Kids.
Many times, especially during the holiday season, we are
reminded that we should be grateful for the opportunity God
has given us to help the less fortunate.
The photos on this page are a selection of fine people who
have made a positive difference in the lives of kids at our
hospitals. |

Dian Fossey - (1932-1985) is shown
here when she working as an
Occupational Therapist at Kosair
Crippled Children's Hospital - Circa 1965.
A collection of her personal
correspondence is held by Kosair
Charities from her period in
Louisville in the 1950s and early
1960s. Noble Patrick Miller knew her
when he was a patient at the
hospital. She was called "The Pretty
Lady" by the children. Each holiday
season she painted the windows of
the children's wards like holiday
postcards and handmade nativity
scenes. Ms. Fossey later gained
international fame as a zoologist
who extensively studied gorillas in
Rwanda, and in 1985 met an horribly
unfortunate death by poachers in.
Several books about her life and
untimely death have been penned over
the years, but everyone at Kosair
simply remembers her as she was;
"The Pretty Lady". |
