Shulamit Bastacky believed that every child should have a teddy bear.
As a child during the Holocaust, Bastacky was hidden from the Nazis by a nun in her native Poland. She spent the first several years of her life isolated and without much human touch. Neither did she have a favorite stuffed animal to bring her comfort.
Her childhood experiences moved Bastacky, who died Jan. 1, to launch Shulamit’s Teddy Bear Project, collecting toys for children in need.
Scott Vensel, an eighth-grade language arts teacher, recalled the first time he brought Bastacky, a frequent speaker at schools, to Dorseyville Middle School in the Fox Chapel Area School District.

Ruth Frank, a globe-trotting, larger-than-life member of the Ohringer family who became renowned in Pittsburgh and beyond for her unusual jewelry creations, died peacefully of natural causes at her Longboat Key, Florida, home on June 13. She was 99.
Born in Pittsburgh to the late Abe and Helen Ohringer, Frank was married for more than 60 years to James A. Frank, who predeceased her in 2004. She was the spunky, energetic “yin” to James’s more stoic and reserved “yang,” and the two were the loves of each other’s lives, according to family members.
