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.
WEST WINDS February 11, 2019 Page 6
