Margaret in the Spring of 2005 “Every day on my way from 49th and Russell Avenue South to Christ King Grade School I walked past Margaret Baxtresser’s home. The same house every day. Always two beautiful sounds filled the air around her magic house—the sound of Margaret practicing the piano and the sound of the Baxtresser children and their friends. I came to think that if one were so lucky as to have both art and children in one’s life, that would be the best of all possible lives.” Libby Larsen June 16, 2005   Click here to read Margaret Baxtresser’s obituary from the Beacon Journal on June 9th.
