When she was growing up, Kelly Crum Delaveris associated the holiday season with one thing it was a time of year when her dad wasn t home much.
The daughter of longtime WCMH-TV (Channel 4) sportscaster Jimmy Crum, Delaveris remembers her dad, who died in 2009, doing assorted good deeds around Columbus.
“That was who he was,” said Delaveris, 63, an accomplished singer residing in York, Pennsylvania. “On Christmas Day, he was at Children’s Hospital, hanging out with kids in the burn unit.”
Delaveris recently returned to her hometown to give back in her own way: On Dec. 16, Delaveris and vocalist-tap dancer Leo Manzari joined the Columbus Jazz Orchestra for “Home for the Holidays,” a months-in-the-planning return to its usual venue, the Southern Theatre, where the group last gave performances in late February.
