| WHEREAS, Noel was best loved for her adventurous and | 11 |

| Italian villa by hiring a professional artist to paint all four | 13 |
| walls, the doors, and the ceiling in the "trompe l'oeil" style; | 14 |
| among her many adventures, Noel took her daughters hot-air | 15 |
| ballooning in the Loire Valley of France and talked her way | 16 |
| into the college-age work crew for a summer-long architectural | 17 |
| dig at an Etruscan ruin in La Pieta, Italy; she performed as a | 18 |
| supernumerary in a recent performance of the Chicago Opera, | 19 |
| where her stage instructions included "Swoosh in. Swoosh out."; | 20 |
| and
| 21 |
| WHEREAS, Noel loved architecture and would brazenly talk | 22 |
| her way into off-limits architectural gems, from the library at | 23 |
| Trinity College in Dublin to Lincoln Park mansions undergoing | 24 |
| renovations; and | 25 |
| WHEREAS, To facilitate her adventures she printed phony | 26 |
| business cards for herself and friend, Jess Cunniff, stating | 27 |
| that they were respectively the President and Chairman of the | 28 |
| Urban Studies Institute; with their card and the statement "We | 29 |
| are architectural historians", Noel and Jess breezed past | 30 |
| security guards and workmen; and |
