NEW RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT

Dorothy and Gene Mulligan moved into Crossroads apartment 617

on January 19.

Dorothy was born near Topeka, Kansas, during The Great

Depression. She graduated from Seaman Rural High School and

then from Kansas State College with a degree in journalism.

Throughout her life she has been a writer and an editor. She edited

a small-town weekly newspaper before coming to the Washington

area to work for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the

United Nations and later for the Alexandria Public Schools. She

has also edited and published three books written by friends. She

and Gene have four children and six grandchildren, all of whom

are musicians. Dorothy recognizes the importance of laughter and

organizes “joke parties”. She hopes to continue to do so at GHBC.

Gene was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and graduated from

nearby Kingston High School in 1944. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1947 and served in various

capacities as a naval line officer. He served a year on the carrier Leyte and several years on the cruiser

Pittsburgh. He later became executive officer of the destroyer Gearing. He applied to the Navy Language

School to learn Russian and later taught Russian at the Naval Academy. He also had a tour in Washington

translating codebreaker output and later helped formulate national intelligence estimates at the Pentagon.

After leaving the Navy, he earned a master’s degree in monetary economics from American University and

became a bond specialist manager. He retired in 1995 but continues investment work including managing

the endowment fund of Unitarian Universalist Church. Gene also plays the piano and continues to take

lessons. He makes time for a daily swim.

Leanne Peters moved into Pointe apartment 671 on January 24.

She grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from high school at St. Mary’s

Academy there in 1959 and from Mount St. Mary’s University, Los

Angeles, with a Bachelor’s Degree in history in 1963. Her life-long love

of libraries led her to earn a Master’s of Library Science degree from

Immaculate Heart College. She came to the Washington area for a job

with the National Labor Relations Board. After a brief stint there, she went

to the Office of Economic Opportunity, where for 16 years she developed

and managed their library. When that agency was disestablished during the

Reagan presidency, she worked in the technical library of the Navy Sea

Systems Command (NAVSEA). During that time, agencies were

increasingly abolishing their libraries and instead using grants for

necessary research. She became a congressional and public affairs liaison

at the Asbestos Litigation Support Office of NAVSEA, where she did

research to respond to interrogatories about exposure to asbestos. She

retired in 2001.

Leanne has been a very active participant in Encore Learning, where she co-chairs the cinema club and has

enjoyed many classes. During retirement, she was also a member of the Building and Grounds Committee in

her Fairlington Community. She looks forward to exploring the many art activities offered at GHBC.

AROUND THE COMMUNITY

LOW VISION RESOURCE SHARING MEETING

Are you living with low vision? Are you wondering who else in our community

is also living with this, and what tools and techniques are they finding helpful?

There have been requests from residents who are coping with low vision to

have a resource sharing meeting.

This will be a time to introduce yourself and to also share what resources or

strategies you find helpful in living with low vision.

If there is interest beyond this meeting, residents may want to form an ongoing

support group.

Please join us on Tuesday, February 26, in the Media Room at 2:00 p.m. For more information and to

RSVP, please contact Barbara Fornoff, LCSW, Residential Living Social Worker, at Ext. 7225

WE’RE BACK!

Fourteen people (six from GHA, six from GHBC, and two from GHAH) returned from a cruise to the

Bahamas. Except for a cold rainy day at Port Canaveral, the weather cooperated and the travelers all

enjoyed the trip.

Charleston was sunny and seasonally cool. Miami was similar – and a bit warmer. Then in Freeport, the

first stop in the Bahamas, it was swim suit weather – and that continued in Nassau. The cruise back to

Baltimore was pleasant and uneventful, although the temperature began to drop as the ship sailed north.

The harbor in Baltimore was covered in ice. The Grandeur of the Seas acted as an ice breaker and

crunched its way to the dock, where the Goodwin Family travelers were greeted with cold, ice, and slush.

Nevertheless, the cruise was a memory to cherish.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO GERMANY?

We are seeking volunteers who have traveled to Germany who would be willing to speak about their

experience and travels for a mini-presentation. Please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Greta Christ, at Ext.

7671 for more information.

BINGO—GREAT NEWS

We are now able to offer Bingo every Wednesday in the Top of the West at

7:00 p.m. Stuart Kennedy has volunteered to be a Bingo caller on Wednesday

also. He will alternate with Irene Silver and Kitty Cacciapaglia on Wednesdays.

The week of February 13, Irene and Kitty are callers; the week of February 20.

Stuart will be calling. COME AND PLAY EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 7:00!!

COMMUNITY CORNER

“All We Need Is Love” (a variation on the title of a song made popular in 1967 by the

Beatles) brings a message we can all relate to…especially in February, the month that brings

us Valentine’s Day. Most historians trace its origin to the ancient Roman Empire when

people observed a holiday on February 14 to honor Juno – the queen of Roman Gods and

Goddesses. The following day began the festival of Lupercalia which included the pairing of young boys

and girls who were strictly separated, which set the mood for the Valentine’s Day as we know it today. But

it was actually due to the efforts and daring of a priest Saint Valentine that the day actually got its name.

The story goes that Emperor Claudius II found it tough to find soldiers to fight his wars, because men did

not want to leave their wives and families, so he cancelled all marriages. Valentine, the priest, a romantic at

heart, would secretly perform marriages. When this defiance was discovered, he was put to death on

February 14, about 270 AD, and was declared a Saint. In another version of the legend, Valentine was killed

because he helped Christians escape from Roman prisons where they were being tortured. Around 498 AD,

Pope Gelasius declared February 14 as St. Valentine’s Day to honor the martyr. Over time, St. Valentine

became the patron saint of lovers and they began the tradition of sharing love notes and simple gifts. Today,

we celebrate love, not just romantic love, but also our love for spouses, parents, siblings, and

friends. The spreading of love is not limited to one day. The residents of GHBC witness it

every day through the loving care of those who serve us and the love and respect we show for

each other. “Love is in the Air”! Dottie Moser, Resident

AROUND THE COMMUNITY

FROM DINING SERVICES

Reservations for the Valentine’s Dinner are full. No changes please.

Fireside will be closed, but the Bistro will be open with regular menu

options. The Valentine’s Day menu will be posted outside the venues.

Please return all cups, plates, silverware, glasses, green to-go containers

or other Dining Services items to the Market Place. If you need assistance

or to have your items picked up, please call Ext. 7645.

Join the Industrial Evolution…

Step back in time to the early days of a port city of Baltimore.

Visit the Baltimore Museum of Industry and experience the

industrial past. This trip is planned for Thursday, March 7.

Expect to see the sign-up sheet very soon in the Resident Business

Center. We want to have travelers identified before the end of

February.

The museum comes alive as skilled Museum Educators

demonstrate working museum artifacts such as our belt-driven

machine shop, a vertical shear, and a printing press. In the

process, our guided tour engages participants in discussions and

deepens their understanding of the ways that innovation,

entrepreneurship, and technology have shaped Baltimore’s industrial history. There is an entry fee of

$6.00. Transportation fee is $20.00.

WEST WINDS February 11, 2019 Page 5

FINE ARTS COMMITTEE—OPEN HOUSE

The Fine Arts Committee meeting focused on plans for the Open House to be held on Saturday, February

23, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. in the Art Center. Residents, fr iends and families are all

welcome.

Our resident artists will host at least twelve stations featuring the creation

of various arts and crafts: Quilting, beading, jewelry making, creating

greeting cards, as well as drawing, painting with watercolors and acrylics,

and sculpting figures from a block of wood or a hunk of clay.

Visitors can also peruse an extensive special library of books collected

through the generous donations of residents. There are volumes on art

history, biographies of artists, how to create art works, and the various

aspects of art media.

We’ll have a special table on “found art.” What is found art? Have a look

at the current exhibit of Nilo Santiago, who has incorporated everyday

objects into some of his colorful work: pencils; wine corks; silvery cds; buttons; paper clips; even coke

can tabs! We’ll have a photographer on hand to talk about the techniques of taking pictures.

Holy Thursday Service and Loaves and Fishes Dinner

Many thanks to the many residents who commented about preferred times and locations for the Holy

Thursday service and their interest (or lack thereof) in the Loaves and Fishes Dinner of recent years

immediately following the service. The comments were mixed (some preferring a 4:00 p.m. service in the

Chapel, others wanting to continue with a 6:00 p.m. service and dinner in the Auditorium). Comments

indicated sufficient interest in continuing for 2019 as in the past. Thus, on Holy Thursday, April 18, 2019,

will be a Holy Thursday service with communion at 6:00 p.m., followed by the traditional Loaves and Fishes

Dinner (fried fish, hush puppies, cole slaw, roll, wine and water) in the Auditorium. As in the past, seating

will be available for all those who do not wish to stay for the dinner. Bob Riley and Jean Bacon will be

announcing the procedure for RSVP’ing for the dinner in early March, with a waiting list for any reservation

in excess of 72 (12 tables of 6). Like last year, residents will be debited dining dollars equivalent to the cost

of a JDR dinner (currently $13.60). Again, thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Look for more information in

early to mid-March.

THE LOREN MEAD MEMORIAL FOREIGN AFFAIRs TALK

Tuesday, February 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium

Africa: Challenges and Opportunities

As it confronts major transformations driven by the global mega trends of

population, climate and technology, the African continent is presented

with enormous challenges, as well as potential opportunities. Continuing the

Loren Mead Memorial Foreign Affairs Series, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, former

Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and currently at Georgetown

University and the Albright Stonebridge Group, will help us understand the

implications for Africa and the United States.
