Chicago publicist Dori Wilson, who moved through charity balls and cultural affairs with the style and assurance of the fashion model she’d once been, died Monday at 77.
She’d attended a friend’s funeral hours earlier. After returning to her home on Marine Drive, Ms. Wilson decided to take a rest, and she never woke up, according to her assistant Melinda Guerra.
Born in Winona, Mississippi, she came to Chicago when she was 7 and grew into a barrier-breaking Black model and favorite subject of famed photographer Victor Skrebneski. Ms. Wilson appeared in ads for Virginia Slims cigarettes, among other products.

A couple from the United Kingdom has lost everything after the vehicle they were living in caught fire and exploded at a Marlborough camping site.
Emergency services responded to the fire at the Wairau Diversion, north of Blenheim, around 8.30pm on Monday after noticing smoke during a training session at the nearby river.
At the same time, the couple – who want to remain anonymous – were metres away eating dinner with other campers when they noticed smoke coming from their vehicle. We ran over, but within 30 seconds it was on fire, the man said.

As we continue with this period of remote learning, itâs a stressful time for everyone in the school community â parents, teachers and students alike. Many parents are trying to juggle the demands of working from home, as well as supporting their childrenâs education online. Most schools are doing an incredible job in providing online lessons and resources, and parents are doing their best to keep all the balls in the air â not an easy task. It can certainly feel overwhelming and some parents worry about whether they are doing enough. Itâs really important to take this pressure off yourself and to accept as a starting point that this is a temporary measure, so you just have to do the best you can and keep going, whilst trying to stay as positive and calm as possible.
