From the CEO

Length, Width and Depth—I am honored to be associated with a
community with solid roots growing in faith. And faith, however
one interprets that concept, is a strong component of what wellness
means at Trezevant.
Trezevant is a community of beautiful living spaces and a
stimulating array of resident services, programs and events. We are
exploring new tastes through our “Meal in the Life” program, and
hosting celebrity chefs who define trends in taste and nutrition. We
are continually developing new ways to improve physical wellness
through innovative fitness approaches. We continue to work on the
improvement of outcomes for the most frail through the difficult,
yet rewarding rehabilitative work we focus on every day in the Allen
Morgan Center and The Terrace.
Like a well-scored soundtrack for a movie, our pastoral staff is
continually working in the background to support all that defines
what Trezevant is, sometimes directly of course, but mostly in subtle
ways that aren’t obvious, nor are they intended to be. I am proud of
the hard work that our Chaplain team (Robin, Julie and Dina) engage
in every day with our residents, our staff, and our extended network
of family and friends. It is important and sometimes thankless work,
but it helps to define what life in abundance means at Trezevant and
I am thankful for it. When we talk about the value of “quality of life”
versus “quantity of life”, we are illustrating the value of the Chaplains’
work.
Evan Esar said it perfectly: “You can’t do anything about the length
of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth”.
The medical profession is doing what it can to address length of life;
let us help you address width and depth.
From the FOUNDATION
Nora Conaway
I want to begin and end this article
by thanking all the people who
have given so generously to the
Trezevant Foundation during the
last year. I am buoyed each time
someone walks into my office or
sends a check through the mail
because I feel that they understand
the need to increase our foundation to a level that will allow it to
build upon itself. They have true
concern for their neighbors who
might need extra support down the
road to remain in their home
here. We are truly blessed
by the giving spirit which
abounds in our Trezevant
community.
At the beginning of the year, a
goal was set for residents to raise
$125,000 with 75% participation.
I am pleased to report that we
made the 75% participation goal
and exceeded the monetary goal
by $13,000. That is remarkable and
I thank you all for digging deeply
and helping us to spread the word.
In addition to the total raised by
residents, another $64,219 came
into the annual giving fund from
friends and family members.
What a caring community to be
a part of! Thank you.

From the CHAPLAIN
Meet our BOARD
The Rev. Robin Hatzenbuehler
I ran across a quote recently from
Paula D’Arcy: “God comes to us
disguised as our life.”
That struck me particularly
because the focus of our Chapel
programs/classes lately has been
on meditation and then segued
into gratitude. In other words
the focus has been on being here,
now. Pausing each day for a time
of meditation can help us remember to “be here, now.”
After a two month class on
meditation this fall, we continue
to offer a time for communal
meditation in our Chapel every
Wednesday at 2:30.
Daily meditation can help us
see, truly see. Spiritual writer
Richard Rohr points out that
“the division between secular and
sacred breaks down when you
learn how to see.” No wonder
Teillard de Chardin suggests that
the “whole of life lies in seeing.”
On January 6 we entered the
season of Epiphany, or revelation
of the divine. It will be a short
season this year as Lent begins
on February 10. So don’t miss
this important time of becoming
more aware of the manifestation
of the divine in the world around
us. See, really see, that God
comes disguised as our life.
And to improve your vision, come to an information
session on Wednesday, January
27 regarding the international
best-selling book, The Artist’s
Way by Julia Cameron. Linda Douty Mischke will give an
Kenneth F. Clark, Jr.
overview of the book, the commitment it requires, as well as her
experience and that of others with
its content. This will give you the
information to decide whether to
join a small group study of this
book.
By the time some of you read
this article, we will have entered
yet another season of the Church
year: Lent. It begins with Ash
Wednesday. There will be two
Ash Wednesday services here
at Trezevant: one at 10:30am at
Allen Morgan Center and one at
noon in St. Edward Chapel. The
following Wednesday, February
17, please join us for the Chaplain’s class at 3pm to take on “A
Grown-Up Lent.”
Kenneth F. Clark, Jr., a long time participant on both the Trezevant Board of Directors
and the Trezevant Foundation, describes himself as “A Yankee by birth, a Memphian by
marriage.” He is a graduate of Dartmouth College, earned an MBA from The Tuck
School of Business Administration at Dartmouth, a law degree from Yale Law School,
and currently serves as counsel to the regional law firm of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs.
Honored by his Dartmouth College Class of 1950 for “fifty years of distinguished service
to his community,” he is a Trustee emeritus of Rhodes College and recipient of its 1992
Distinguished Service Medal. He currently serves as a Trustee of the Dixon Gallery &
Gardens, and of its Endowment Fund; is an Honorary Trustee of The Community
Foundation of Greater Memphis; a past officer and director of the United Way of Greater
Memphis, and of the Memphis Rotary Club.
A member of Calvary Episcopal Church, he has served multiple terms on its vestry,
as both Senior and Junior Warden thereof; currently serves on its Endowment
Foundation; and is a former member of The Bishop and Council of the Episcopal
Diocese of Tennessee.
“How strange that the nature of life is change, yet
the nature of human beings is to resist change. And
how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin
us are the very ones that can break us open and help
us blossom into who we were meant to be.”
Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow

Our Stories
by Julia Allen
Kathleen Chang Brafford has
brought talent and will to a
challenging life. She was born in
Tijuaun, capital of Shanxi Province, about 350 miles southwest
of Beijin, China. The second of
five children, two girls, three boys,
she was blessed with loving and
progressive-thinking parents. Her
father was an astute real estate
investor and businessman, becoming CEO of an armament and
ammunition factory during the
administration of General Chiang Kai Chek. In 1937, with the
invasion of China by Japan, the
coastal provinces were captured by
the Japanese, endangering the vital
armament plant of Mr. Chang.
The factory and Chang family
were forced to move to a safer
interior part of China, in Sichuan
province. In the words of Kathleen, “It was a fearful eight years
of Japanese bombing until Japan
surrendered in 1945”.
Kathleen was educated in
Taijuan through the seventh grade.
Her further education, high school
and two years of college were in
Chengdo, China’s interior. Her
Christian high school was unique,
a coed boarding school sponsored
by Oberlin College in Cleveland,
Ohio, where her teachers were
largely Chinese and American
Oberlin graduates, and, students
were Christian, Buddhists, and
non-believers. She describes it this
way, “This highly academic setting
midst the widely varied student
body gave me an important life
experience”. Kathleen continued
her education, earning a BS degree
in textile engineering. In 1947,
fighting between Chinese Communists and Nationalists broke
out. Not wishing to be involved
in supplying munitions for a civil
war, Mr. and Mrs. Chang and
their two younger sons moved to
British Hong Kong. Plans were
made for Kathleen and her older
brother to seek further study in the
United States, but, it took almost
a year before paper work could be
completed.
In 1949, the two Chang siblings arrived in the United States;
she enrolled in North Carolina
Agriculture and Engineering
College (now North Carolina
State University) in Raleigh and
her brother entered the University
of Kansas in Lawrence. At that
time, the engineering school of the
college was all male and, without
a woman’s dormitory, Kathleen
had to rent a room in a private
home. Her limited English skills
forced the young student to work
very hard to achieve a master’s
degree in textile chemistry. In
the summer of 1950, romance
bloomed between Kathleen and a
fellow student from North Carolina. It began when Kathleen
was studying in the library and a
male student who worked there
began asking her to “please move”.
She took him literally and got up
and moved her seat. After a few
repeats of this request, she realized
he meant to ask her to go out of
the library so they could talk. She
responded and the rest is history.
Kathleen Chang became Mrs.
London ( Joe) H. Brafford upon
her graduation that year.
In 1951, the couple welcomed a baby boy, Wayne. When
Joe graduated the following year,
he was immediately drafted as
an ROTC commissioned officer
to fight in the Korean War. His
young wife and son stayed in
Raleigh where she worked as a
chemist for North Carolina State.
The highlights of 1953 and 1954
were her attaining American citizenship and Joe’s return from two
years of Army service in Japan at
the end of the war. Both worked
in Raleigh until 1959 when they
chose to make Charlotte home
because it had become an important textile center. Kathleen
was with the fiber company of
Celanese Corporation as a dyeing
and finishing chemist, while Joe
worked in chemical coatings at
Sherman-Williams Company.
Meanwhile, the senior
Changs and sons fled Hong
Kong, having been stripped by
the Communists of all financial
and real estate holdings. They
settled in Montevideo, Uruguay
where there are now many Chang
descendants. Kathleen had to
digest the fact that her China
connection was no more; she
was now thoroughly tied to the
United States. By 1975 Wayne
Brafford, their beloved son, had
completed college, graduate study,
and had married his high school
sweetheart, a United Methodist
minister, whom his parents adore,
as well as produced three cherished grand-children. He had
earlier worked in New York with
International Paper Company,
but had been transferred and
promoted to senior vice-president
in Memphis. Wayne retired
in 2011.
In 1977 disaster struck
the Braffords when Joe, at forty-nine, suffered a stroke that
Kathleen Chang Brafford
left him disabled. Again, a major
life change faced Kathleen. She
became not only the breadwinner,
but the care-giver. She feels that
it was both her will and her faith
that enabled her to meet these
two challenges for nineteen years.
In 1984 she chose to retire early
to devote full time to care for Joe.
While he was still able to travel,
they visited the grandchildren and
toured the country by Amtrak. In
1992 Wayne and Kathleen moved
Joe to Memphis. He died in 1998
at the Allen-Morgan Center. The
new widow knew she had to keep
busy; she turned to a new hobby –
watercolor painting. Christ United
Methodist Church had become
important to her, as well as Minor
Murrah, art teacher and friend.
She considered several retirement
places to live, but, because of
Minor, Petie Williams, art friends,
Virginia Hollan (her circle leader)
and the art classes at Trezevant,
she decided to move to Trezevant
in September, 2015, where she is
very happy and glad she made that
choice. Kathleen loves people and
has found many friends through
Kathleen is standing center, her sister left,
sister-in-law right, and mother seated.
her art. Her Manor apartment’s
walls are testimony to her skill.
Especially beautiful is a watercolor
self-portrait. She hides her many
blue ribbons and awards in a box.
Courage and determination
have led her through difficult
times. Her life is an open study of
China’s sad recent turmoil. Kathleen Brafford is a role model for
us here of a life that prevails amid
adversity and finds joy.
The Reverend Robin, Called To Trezevant
By Nora Conaway, Development Director
vi’ car - a cleric in charge of a chapel in the Episcopal Church in the United States
Around 1999, Robin Hatzenbuehler, who had
a master’s degree in speech pathology, found
her life revolving more and more around the
Episcopal Church. As a member of Grace-St.
Luke’s Episcopal Church, she was completing
her four-year commitment to the Education
for Ministry program and feeling that there
was something more that she was being called
to do. She read a poem which snagged her attention when it suggested that she was asking
big questions and accepting small answers. After she made a list of the books she had read
over the past three or four years and realized
that just about every one was of the theology
genre, she decided to begin spiritual direction
through The Rev. Virginia Brown, telling her
that she wanted to be involved in something
which would take
everything she had.
She decided to slowly
wade into the water when she began
taking classes at the
Memphis Theological
Seminary. Under the
advisorship of Dr.
Mitzi Minor, Robin smiled her way
through the four-year
program knowing she
had made the right
decision.
After having made it through the various
Episcopal hoops, Robin was ordained as a
priest in 2005 and spent two years serving in
her home church. When she was approached
by John Webb to consider taking the position at Trezevant in 2007 after the previous
chaplain died suddenly, she felt that she was
looking at a mostly blank slate she could tailor
to the pastoral needs of the community. There
were several reasons she felt a special calling
to Trezevant, not the least of which was the
fact that she would be serving her mother who
had been a resident for several years. Robin particularly loves doing services whether
they are Easter, Christmas, or all the ordinary
Sundays in between, and being at Trezevant
would give her the opportunity to do this several times a week. A particular favorite is the
Blessing of the Animals at which she gets to
don her costume (see photograph) taken from
the book Where the Wild Things Are. There
was not even any questioning of her decision
to take the position when, several months
after she arrived, she had to say goodbye to
the old chapel and pack up everything for a
year and a half in the activities room during
the renovation. The end result of the beautiful
St. Edward Chapel and adjoining meditation
room was very much worth the wait.
Since that time, the pastoral program has
grown by leaps and bounds. When she first
arrived, she had a wonderful team of members
Rev. Julie, Chief, and owner George.
Rev. Robin confers with organist Judy Clark about the day’s hymns.
from The Church of the Holy Communion
who served as Lay Eucharistic Ministers and
lectors to fill in gaps. Now St. Edward Chapel’s worship liturgy is truly “the work of the
people,” with a full rotation of Trezevant residents who serve as Lay Eucharistic Ministers,
lectors, altar guild members, ushers, crucifers and Judy Clark, the organist. Resident
Dr. Ray Curle often brings the gift of music
through his oboes, and a “Special Occasion”
choir is filled with residents as well.
There are six services each week at all areas
of our campus, meditation periods, visits from
service dogs, special occasion services, and
pastoral care visits to both resident homes
and area hospitals. A conscious decision was
made early on that, although the services
would follow the Book of Common Prayer,
St. Edward Chapel would not be a mission of
the Episcopal diocese so that there would be
inclusion for worshippers of other faiths. Dina
Smith has been Rev. Robin’s right hand and
volunteer extraordinaire through much of the
time, serving her in all organizational projects, making visits, and doing special readings.
In the last year, The Rev. Julie McKenna, an
ordained Methodist elder, has joined the staff,
participating in all areas of Trezevant pastoral
care, but especially Trezevant Terrace. She is a
musician and accompanies songs on her autoharp, wrangles service dogs, performs church
services wherever necessary, and gives comfort
to those in need of it.
The Trezevant community is truly blessed
to have such shepherds tending the flock!

From the beginning.
In 1977, the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee established Trezevant as the
premier retirement community in Memphis. From the day the doors opened until
today, Trezevant’s not-for-profit status, innovative continuing care approach, and
commitment to its residents confirm its unique position and assure its future.
And for always.
The Trezevant Foundation was established to ensure that LifeCare residents would
always have a place here, still at home at Trezevant, even if they outlived their
financial resources. Additionally, the Foundation also provides resident amenities
to enhance life in the community, and an employee scholarship fund to improve
their lives and the skills they bring to Trezevant.
