FROM ANDREA’S DESK
Comments from the Executive Director......
the name of the resident who is having a major
health incident.
I’m not sure if you have noticed or not, but there
are two solar radar speed detectors on Peachtree
Road bordering Lenbrook (to the south) and Canterbury Court/Renaissance to the north. This was a
shared project among these 3 communities, along
with the Buckhead Coalition, who each paid a portion of the total cost for the equipment and its installation, in an effort to better control the speed of the
traffic. The signs are installed and should be fully
operational by the time you receive this issue. We
were also informed that the timing of the traffic
lights between Club Drive and Kingsboro has been
adjusted to additionally slow the traffic.
As we approach the holiday season, we are planning to limit access to the storage closet across from
the Front Desk and only allow access at two different times a day when a staff member will be present
to monitor packages as they are picked up. With the
door unlocked, there is no control if someone fails to
sign-out their package(s). We will also continue to
deliver large packages in the evening. More details
on this will follow by memo in the near future.
Andrea Price, Executive Director
I have recently heard many questions about the
preferred procedure concerning “911” calls –
whether they are to be made by staff only or are
there any occasions when residents should be making that call? I thought this would be a good place
to clarify.
In Fulton County, whenever “911” is called, the
operator asks over 10 questions about both the person needing help and the nature of the incident. Our
Nursing staff is very acquainted with this procedure
and offers to be the point of contact for emergencies
at Canterbury Court, and this is the procedure typically utilized. However, we would never want a
preferred procedure to interfere with the health and
well-being of anyone involved in a serious, lifethreatening situation. If at any time you are near
someone who is apparently having a stroke or is not
breathing, we suggest that you first call “911” and
then follow-up with a call to the Front Desk to notify Nursing to come and assist. You will need to
remain on the line to answer their questions and to
give them our address: 3750 Peachtree Road. Or,
if you carry your cell phone, you can use it instead
of the land line. Just be sure to make one more call
after you hang up with the ambulance dispatcher:
call the Front Desk to give them your location and
TREASURER’S REPORT
As shown in the summary of our financial position, we are continuing to be ahead of budget at the
end of September. The actual year-to-date income
to the appreciation fund is ahead for the year, but we
need a stronger showing for the next three months to
achieve our goal for additional funds to be available
for our scholarship program.
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support
to this important role at Canterbury Court.

COVER STORY
Once again master photographer Clyde May, has captured the splendor of the season in this shot of one of
Canterbury’s glorious maple trees. Cooler weather has finally arrived and there’s a nip in the air. “The frost is
on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock”.
Happy Autumn. Everyone!

THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER
1863 -- Pres. Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as "A day of thanksgiving and
praise to our benevolent Father."
Each year for 75 years the President annually
proclaimed the last Thursday in Nov. to be observed.
1939 -- Pres. Roosevelt set Thanksgiving one
week earlier to give business one more week for
Christmas sales.
1941 -- Congress finally acts. After 1941 the
forth Thursday of Nov. was set and declared a federal holiday.
On a personal note, my first remembrances of
the holidays were of a day in woods . My Mom and
Dad with several other families had Thanksgiving
dinner near a small central Florida stream under the
large oak trees. A barbeque pit was part of the food
preparation. My Dad liked to hunt, and we, plus a
few others, would rise early and go looking for quail
and doves. If we had good fortune the birds became
part of the dinner. Most years we did. I had my own
shotgun, 410 single shot received on my 10th birthday. A good time for me during the thirties. True to
tradition prayer was always said, and with 3 Baptist
deacons present that was no problem.
John
‘TIS THE TIME TO BE
THANKFUL
A brief history of our country’s
custom of celebrating a day to be ever
grateful for what we have:
Dec 4,1619 -- 39 English settlers
John White on the James, what is now Charles
City, Va. Their charter required, on
the day of arrival, a day of thanksgiving to God, and to be observed annually.
July 30,1623 -- After a good crop of corn Mass.
Gov.William Bradford decreed a three day feast and
a day of prayer.
1789 -- Pres. Washington issued a general proclamation naming Nov. 26 a day of national thanksgiving.
1789 -- The Protestant Episcopal Church announced the first Thursday in November would be a
yearly day to give thanks.
For many years no regular national day was observed. Several states had dates and most did not.
1830 -- NY announced a November day followed by several other northern states.
1855 -- Virginia became the first southern state
to proclaim a day.
THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WANTS YOUR INPUT
President John White has appointed a nominating committee to present a slate of Officers and Executive
Committee members at the December 9th meeting of the Residents Council.
Managing the business of the Residents Council means understanding and following IRS and Georgia laws
governing non-profit organizations as well as serving the residents. The Committee welcomes your input of
names of residents you feel are well qualified. Please let us know before November 30th,
The Committee members who would like very much to hear from you are:
BB Brown (572),
Jack Langford (872), or
Lydia Smith (873).
Celebration of Life
You are invited to join your fellow residents and the staff of Canterbury Court on Thursday, Nov. 21
(note changed date) beginning at 11:00 a.m. in the Community Room for our sixth annual “Celebration of
Life.” This sacred occasion provides our community with the opportunity to remember and give thanks for the
lives of those residents and staff members who died during this past year.

DINING SERVICES
I can’t believe that it is already November! Before you know it we’ll be
sitting down for Thanksgiving Dinner
and then celebrating the Christmas
Holidays. For our 27-plus new residents that have moved in this past year
Rebecca La- we look forward to sharing the holiMontagne days with you and your loved ones.
This can be a very hectic time of year
so in order to help you navigate your way I’ve listed
some useful information below.
One of our grandest events of the year, the
“Resident Christmas Party” will be held on Sunday,
December 8th. In order to ensure that all residents
have a fair chance to make a reservation, notices
will be going out on Monday, November 4th and
reservations will be scheduled on Monday, November 18th in the Community Room. If this is your
first Christmas Party at Canterbury Court, it is a special time to share with your family and close friends.
It is a dressy affair, where men are required to wear
a suit jacket in all dining venues with similar attire
for ladies. You and your guests can enjoy Happy
Hour in the Community Room 45 minutes prior to
your scheduled seating where you can enjoy a cup
of punch (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) and where you
can have your photo taken in front of the Christmas
tree. You will be served a delicious holiday meal
complimented with wine in the Grille, McBurney’s,
Hancock’s and The Player Room. All tables will be
assigned, so we need to make arrangements in ad-
vance for all of you for this meal. This means that
you need to reserve a table whether you have a guest
(s) or not. All reservations need to be made no later
than Wednesday, December 4th.
As a refresher on the procedure, reservations
need to be made in person. At your appointed time,
either you or a representative needs to come to the
Community Room to make your reservation. Please
be prepared to provide the number of guests you
will be inviting to join you, either Canterbury Residents or outside guests, and your preference of seating times. Also, please be prepared to select an alternative seating time in case your first choice has
already closed out. Groups larger than eight people
will need to have seating preferences for both the
day and evening seatings. It is always more of a
challenge to accommodate large groups especially if
we have several families in need.
The seating times for this year’s party will be:
11:30a.m.
4:30pm
12:00p.m.
5:00pm
12:30pm
6:30pm
1:00pm
1:30pm Other important events to be celebrated are
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28th,
Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24th and Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25th. We are looking forward to a very successful holiday season.

Director of Dining Services
PASTORAL PONDERINGS
Yes indeed, suddenly it is upon us.
It seems only yesterday that we were
still enjoying the unusually mild, but
welcomed, Georgia summer days. Yet
now as the wonderful and colorful
weeks of Fall are coming to an end,
Mike
Thanksgiving will be here and ChristBryant
mas is soon to follow.
I have thought at various times
through the years about how a traveler from another
planet, looking down upon millions of homes and
communities across America on Thanksgiving
morning, might easily be confused. For the sight of
all those faces, those wide eyes, those expressions of
wonder and delight as the turkey is brought to the
table might cause one to conclude that we have
gathered to worship the turkey goddess.
Obviously the turkey is not the most fitting symbol for
Thanksgiving. Perhaps a more appropriate symbol
would be that of a picture postcard depicting those
hearty Pilgrims gathered around the fruits of their
harvest. Sustained through a shared faith in God,
they seem the very image of fortitude in the face of
almost overwhelming adversity.
Looking back across the past 300 years, it can be
tempting to compare their situation with our own.
Perhaps if we could find the courage and the confidence which made that first Thanksgiving possible,
our problems would seem less daunting. However,
in reality it is always best not to be carried away by
6
giving, not because all things might be good or easy,
but rather because we can trust that this world,
though often troubled and broken, is wonderfully
cradled in the everlasting arms of God, the Eternal
and Living Creator.
I hope each of you knows how thankful I am
on this Thanksgiving 2013 that you are such a
treasured part of my life. May you, your families,
friends, and neighbors have a Thanksgiving filled
with gratitude for one another—and life!
nostalgia. Rather, it may be much more meaningful
to remember that when every illusion of success is
stripped away and earthen treasures fail, there is
only one thing that remains—the love of God our
Creator. Like the Pilgrims, this is the eternal truth
for which we all can be thankful.
On this Thanksgiving, may you stand up in the
face of the storms in your life and declare that life is
worth living. Let us each give thanks that the whole
of God’s creation is one unimaginable and constant
act of God’s love.
Indeed, may all of us give thanks this Thanks-

the environmental hazards that batteries cause in
landfills. This is good cause, and I’m thankful that
we have a community that wants to make a difference in living in a cleaner environment. The next
report was given by the Committee Chair for the
Scholarship Committee. This was yet another
strong demonstration of giving back to the community, and it was created to provide advancement in
education for any employee at Canterbury that
would like to pursue an opportunity to advance their
education with financial assistance. This goes back
to my point of diversity. Canterbury doesn’t want
any person to feel left out!
On Saturday morning, September 28th, we participated in our 7th Annual Memory Walk. We had
over 20 residents, family members and staff attend
the walk in Atlantic Station. The primary purpose
of this event is to raise funds and awareness for
those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The
money raised will go to the Georgia Chapter of the
Alzheimer’s Association to fund services, programs
and research. We surpassed our goal and raised
over $4,800! As Team Captain, I’m very grateful
for the support that we got, and the representative
for the Memory Walk was very appreciative of our
continued support in this meaningful cause.
These experiences that I mentioned symbolize
how special and gracious our community is. It
makes me feel proud to be a part of it. There are so
many people here who want to make a difference in
our community and outside of it. How could I not
be grateful for a place like that? It seems to me that
a lot of you share the same feeling based on recent
events. It’s a strong virtue that makes one feel good
and thankful!
Andres Wiltz, Wellness Director
Recently, I heard a sermon given by a
preacher who reflected on how grateful
he was to be part of the church and
community. He was on sabbatical, and
he had time to write, visit other
churches and reflect. When he returned
to the pulpit, he was thankful and apAndrew
preciative to stand before the commuWiltz
nity that he has known to become special to him. We have had some recent events that
have demonstrated the great sense of community
that we have at Canterbury. As I reflect on them, it
makes me grateful to be part of this special place. I
got a good quote on gratitude thanks to Wikipedia. It
comes from Cicero, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others”.
In September we had our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party. This is one of our signature events
to express gratitude to those who serve the community in a meaningful and diverse way. There are
over 20 standing committees and 130 volunteers at
Canterbury Court! It is a very special experience to
see such a large number of people who are willing to
give back to their community by serving a purpose
to make it a better place to live. The diversity affects every fabric of Canterbury. I’m very grateful
to be part of a community that doesn’t want any person to feel left out.
I attended the Quarterly Residents Council
Meeting several months ago. Normally, I attend one
of these meetings every year, and this was a good
one for I wanted to report on the resurfacing of our
pool and the upcoming Memory Walk. I followed a
couple of committee reports that were just recently
developed with great initiatives. I was excited to
hear that the Recycling Committee has been collecting used batteries in an effort to raise awareness of

Dave served two years in the Army and returned to
Cornell to get his MBA. Dave spent his career in
sales with Electrical Insulation Suppliers and Essex
Wire.
Nancy attended Rollins College and earned her
degree in Sociology from Emory University. She
was reared an Episcopalian but she and Dave both
now attend Peachtree Presbyterian Church. Four
children have kept her busy along with her favorite
sport, tennis, playing with Alta. She also is a potter
and enjoys bridge, Book Club, and getting massages.
Dave is an avid golfer. They moved to Canterbury from Sandy Springs and still have their old
connections there for some activities such as Book
Club, tennis, and golf. Nancy has already discovered Canterbury’s massage therapist and Wellness
Center. We welcome this busy couple to Canterbury.
Barbara Cheshire
Dave and Nancy have lived in Atlanta for many
years. Dave was a single father of a daughter and
Nancy was a single mother of two girls and two
boys when they were introduced by a mutual friend.
They enjoyed each other’s company. Nancy tells
about Dave calling or coming to her house with a
different child answering the door or telephone each
time, each wanting to check out Mama’s new boyfriend. Once Billy answered the door and reported
to his mother that her boyfriend had toilet paper all
over his face. Apparently the electricity went off
while Dave was shaving and he nicked himself--he
forgot to remove the bits of paper all over his face.
Nancy’s daughter Katie, her husband Greg and
two children live in Chattanooga. Their other four
children--Sam, his wife Vanessa and two children:
Jennifer, her husband Jonathon and two children;
Billy; and Sue and one child—all live in Atlanta.
Dave graduated from Cornell University where
his father was Chair of the Department of Agronomy. Bradfield Hall commemorates the elder Brad-

is also a potter. She and Baker worked very hard on
raising money and helping build the state of the art
Bascom Art Center and serving on its Board. They
were also active in their small historic church, the
Episcopal Church of the Incarnation. Ellie was on
the Vestry and they worked hard to stimulate growth
in the small church. She also enjoyed the garden
club. After Baker died, Ellie fulfilled a dream of
living in Beaufort, SC but soon moved back to
Highlands.
Among other Canterbury residents she knew in
other lives are Jane Mitchell, Virginia and Clyde
Herron, Lamar Oglesby, Joy Hickel, and Jack and
Margaret Langford. She says she wants to be in the
company of stimulating people. Not to worry, Ellie.
She also enjoys the Canterbury gardens and the variety of things residents grow there.
Ellie and Jack had three sons—John, Bill, and
Marty—who all live in Atlanta now with four
granddaughters. Ellie also has Baker’s son Rob and
daughter Laura and their children as well as her own
sister and her family who round out a large, varied,
and interesting family.
And let's not forget their adorable Australian
Shepherd, Luci.
Barbara Cheshire
When I telephoned new resident Eleanor Harrison to arrange a meeting, I noticed her middle name
was Addams (with two “d”s) and asked if she could
be the Ellie in the class of 1949 at North Fulton
High School. She is indeed the Ellie Addams who
was in the same class as Bebe Wright, as I was
known then. Our names are different, but our photos in the annual are still recognizable—can’t believe it has been 64 years. Ellie finds connections
everywhere she goes, it seems.
Having been born in Kentucky, she went back
after high school to the University of Kentucky
where she met and married Jack Kelly, an attorney.
She and Jack reared three sons there. They moved
to Atlanta and settled in Garden Hills. They also
built a small house in Highlands and discovered real
hiking. Resident Pat Davis was in her hiking group.
After Jack died in 1980, Ellie lived for a while at the
Reid House across from the High Museum and reveled in the arts.
Ellie later married Baker Harrison who worked
in the Research Center at Lockheed, along with another Canterbury contact, Clyde Herron. Ellie and
Baker built a larger house in Highlands with a lot of
garden space. They were active in the arts scene,
displaying their metal sculpture and mobiles. Ellie

THE STAFF WELCOME MAT
DF
Michelle Mortland, L.B.S.W.
Social Services Coordinator
Michelle Mortland was born in Frankfurt, Germany, where her father and mother lived when he
was stationed there in the U. S. Army. She grew up
in Dallas, Texas. Her sister and two brothers still live
in Dallas.
Michelle was planning to become a teacher but
could only get a job as a nurse’s aid, and that set her
course to work with the elderly. “I found I loved
working with older people.”
She married and moved with her husband to
Oklahoma City, where she got an associate degree in
gerontology at the community college. When they
returned to Dallas, she got her B.S. degree in gerontology at the University of Texas Health Science
Center at Dallas, then became licensed in Texas as a
social worker. She worked in nursing homes and retirement communities.
She moved to Atlanta in 2011 because her two
sons, Austin and Derek, are here with their wives.
She researched places to work on the internet and
found Canterbury Court. Her sons brought her to see
our facility, and she talked to Marie Abraham about
working here; but there were no openings. She found
part-time work at Manor Care Rehabilitation in Marietta, but she still wanted to work full time and wore
herself out searching on the internet. On a hunch,
she looked at Craig’s List and saw Marie Abraham’s
name as a contact. She faxed in her resume, came
for an interview, and here she is. “I feel like I’ve
come full circle. I’m so happy to be working at Canterbury Court.”
Michelle’s focus as Social Services Coordinator
is on the psychological and social needs of residents
in the Pavilion. She coordinates residents’ appointments with podiatrist, dentist, optometrist, audiologist, psychologist and Hospice. She assists them
with their Advance Directives for Health Care. She
organizes their mail delivery.
Outside work, Michelle is active across a range
of interests. She loves to walk by the Chattahoochee
River. She has been to Israel and wants to travel in
Europe, China and Africa. She likes to ski on snow
and on water. She loves the arts, especially the theatre. And she belongs to a writers’ group.
Michelle’s office is on the second floor; she can
be reached at extension 3269.
We are happy to have you on board, Michelle.
Welcome to Canterbury Court.

Book Club
The next meeting will be Monday,
November 28 at 2:00 in the
Hightower Room. The book is A Tale
for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki, and
has just arrived in our library.
And now, Information For EveryJoen Fagan one, conveyed in an easily-graspable
parable.
One morning the husband returns after several
hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. The wife
decides to take the boat out and read on the water.
She motors out a short distance, anchors, and opens
her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He
pulls up alongside the woman and says, " Good
morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't
that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"Well, officer, I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I
know you could start at any moment. I'll have to
take you in and write you up."
"For reading a book?" she asks.
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I
know you could start at any moment. I'll have to
take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with Sexual Assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the Game
Warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment.
And for all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," he said as he left.
MORAL:
Never argue with a woman who
reads.
It's likely she can also think.

Angela explains. “Can’t seem to get it where I want
it. I’m satisfied with the child, but there’s all this
green behind her that I need to deal with.” Near the
easel are paints and brushes of every size ready for
the artist’s inspiration. The walls are alive with faces
that look as though they might speak at any minute:
lovely women, some with children; men who look as
though they have a story to tell; a somber African
American boy in a pensive mood. Since most of Angela’s work is commissioned and unavailable for display, the portraits on her walls are usually studies of
models done during classes which were taught by
many of the fine artists with whom Angela has been
studying.
Angela is of Irish descent, the youngest of six
siblings who grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Even as a small child, she loved to draw, and since
her father was in the paint business, she always had
plenty of materials. Her art teacher in her Catholic
Girls School provided Angela with an excellent foundation. She learned to work not only in oils, pastels
and water color but in calligraphy and sculpture as
well. Later, Angela studied at the Walker Art Center
in Minneapolis and at the University of Minnesota.
Although abstract expressionism was the focus of
many art institutions at the time, she realized she
wanted to head in another direction.
After she married Bill Foster in 1956, Angela discovered the Portrait Group in Westport, Connecticut
and soon knew that her career lay in portraiture. As
she undertook this calling, she remembers some advice from the Director of the Portrait Group: “Any
surface that you are painting that rolls up reflects the
sky. Use a tiny bit of blue paint. When the surface
rolls down, use warmer, earthy colors.” Angela got
her first commission in Boston. With the money, she
naturally bought more materials for her next work.
Because of Bill’s business with Cabot, the family
moved to Frankfurt, Germany for three years. With
her three daughters in school, Angela taught water
color to ladies at the
International
Women’s Club. It
was also a good way
to learn to speak
German. She reme mbers
those
years fondly.
The Fosters returned
to Boston, living
there for many years
until they made
their home in AtAngela Foster
lanta. Angela has
studied with fine
portrait artists, notably Michael del Priori, John de la
Vega, Michael Shane Neal and Jim Shell of Atlanta.
She continues to attend classes and workshops, as
well as serving as a docent at the High Museum of
Art since 1986, giving tours and lectures.
When asked about her technique, Angela describes the steps she takes, as follows: “First, I meet
the subject I am to paint, talk to him or her, and I
take many photos. I like to ask a person who is close
to my subject to give me a list of adjectives that describe my subject. Then I ask for many snapshots of
that person doing a variety of activities in a variety of
settings. At first I make a sketch on newsprint, then
a pastel to scale of the finished painting, which the
subject (or family) must approve before we go further. After preparing the canvass with under painting, I draw on it. I try to do the background first, the
hair and the face last. Let me give you my mission
statement, my goals:
Each person or family has its Moments of Grace.
As a portrait painter, a likeness of the subject is important. However, my intuition and intention guide
me in revealing a Moment of Grace in each of my
portraits, whatever the age of the subject.
In November and December, we at Canterbury
Court will be privileged again to view some of Angela’s work. This accomplished artist has truly
caught Moments of Grace in these beautiful faces.

Cat Whispering at Canterbury Court
By Diane Fowlkes
Cats are a species apart. Domestic cats make
their descent, it is said, from solitary hunters. And so
one “whispers” an individual cat in the hopes that its
curiosity will draw it to one for conversation. I was
fortunate to be able to “whisper” the cats who reside
at Canterbury Court, except for one. Carol Osborne
was most adept at organizing sessions with those humans whom the Canterbury cats manage so that I
could interview and photograph each cat. I asked
“What is your name and your breed? Whom do you
manage? What is your secret wish or vice or something you would like to share with Canterbury readers? What have you made of your nine lives?” Here
is what I heard.
S p i r i t
i s
Tonkinese, which began as a mix of half
Siamese and half Burmese but has become
established as a breed.
She manages Joen Fagan. Spirit’s secret is
the amount of time
she spends running
things that people
never see. “I spend
several hours a night
and day patrolling for
DF
mice and making sure
Spirit
no birds come in when
the doors to the balcony are open. In my nine lives,
which are far from over, I have accomplished several
outstanding things, from detecting suspicious things
in the neighborhood to being a guru who sits and
meditates and writes haiku. I have a Ph.D. in feline
philosophy.”
Middy is a Domestic Longhair. She manages
Tom Sellers. She secretly wishes she had more empire to rule over. “I came from a large house with an
upstairs, main floor and downstairs; and frankly, I’m
shocked at the small amount of space in which I now
live.” She takes every opportunity to escape onto the
balcony rather than into the corridors, which she has
found disappointing. “I’m willing to risk any of my
nine lives in order to get onto the balcony and from
there onto the ledge of the building; the ledge leads
to the window outside
the elevator
lobby. I can
sit there and
shake
up
residents, or
I can attract
the attenDF tion of residents in the
Middy
garden who
call Security. I’ve finally convinced Tom that I’m
perfectly in control of myself.”
Kate is a
Domestic
Shorthair
Tabby.
She
manages Norman and Catherine Currey.
“I wish that
Norm
and
Catherine
DF
would never
Kate
leave me at
the vet’s. I
lecture them to no avail.” Her nine lives are still in
tact. “I’ve never had a narrow escape, perhaps because I spend my lives sitting and relaxing. I like my
Mr. Mousie.” She sounds as if she would like to get
out onto the grass in the garden. “I go onto the balcony to eat the houseplants, but ugh, they don’t agree
with me.”
Shadow is a
Birman. He
manages
Nina Collins.
“No one has
asked about
my secrets
before,
so
I’ve
never
told
about
DF my encounters
with
Shadow
night ghouls.
When I moved in I howled when night fell and
14
stopped sleeping on Nina’s bed with her. And then a
miracle: She had a House Blessing, and that night I
stopped howling and slept with Nina and have done
so ever since.” Except when Shadow is spending
his nine lives: “I take breaks from sleeping to roam
the house at night, going round and round from
room to enclosed balcony to room. Then I go back
to bed and jump on Nina. In the daytime I take naps
in the bathroom sink and drink from the bathroom
faucet or I sit quietly on the balcony and watch the
traffic.”
Indiana is
a Domestic
Shorthair
Tabby. He
manages
Gene Groff
and
Barbara Clark.
“I wish that
G e n e
DF w o u l d
never leave
Indiana
the apartment, but I can’t convince Barbara, who sometimes
takes Gene out with her. Otherwise, I like to lie on
the balcony and watch the traffic.” Indiana has
spent his nine lives well. “I have trained my staff to
obey me. Gene and Barbara always allow me to sit
between them to prevent my showing jealousy of
Barbara. They get my food for me and then leave
me alone while I eat it. And Barbara lets me drink
out of her glass in her bathroom, while Gene lets me
drink out of his bathroom faucet. Who could ask for
more?”
Willie and
Murphy
are
Dome s t i c
Shorthair
Tabbies.
They manage Faye
Hough.
DF B e y o n d
that they
Willlie
are as different as night and day. Willie didn’t want to tell his
secret because “Faye would kill me if I did. But she
also knows I wish Murphy would run away so I
could be an only child.” As for his nine lives, Willie
has stayed indoors since he came from a shelter.
“The time I went out on the balcony and leapt into
the air to catch a ladybug is the time Faye caught me
by my leg to save me from falling. Since then she
screened that balcony so I can sit out and look at the
garden.”
Murphy declined to participate in my interview.
He sent a message that in an earlier life he was a celebrity, and he developed a high disregard for the
paparazzi. I respect his privacy.
The Canterbury Court cats are full of secrets
and secret wishes, but note: Not a single cat admitted that he or she has a secret vice. Would that we
all were as praiseworthy.

Dining
The present Dining Committee has two remaining meetings occurring on November 19th and December 17th. Time flies when you're having a good
time and I have to admit this year is passing a lot
faster than I expected.
We would hate to disband thinking we failed to
accomplish something that you had your heart set
on. With two months to go, let us know what's on
your mind, and we will see what we can do.
I do believe that the directories will be out soon
and I think you will be pleased. You will not have a
personal copy; however, they will be placed in areas
convenient for us to sit and put names and faces to-
gether.
The powers-that-be are about to make a decision about uniforms for the Junior Managers. The
Committee thought that they were very nice.
Another thing you might want to think about is
whether you would like to continue to serve on the
committee in 2014 or know of someone who
would. (You think ??, make sure they are agreeable)
I spent a great deal of time selecting the members of the present committee and I must admit I did
an excellent job. We play nicely together. I'm sure
it can be done again.
15
I will pass the information I receive on to
the incoming President sometime in December.
Please continue to make suggestions that you
feel will improve what the majority of us already
think is a pretty good thing. There is always room for
improvement.
Thanks, Faye Hough #3772

Seems to me 2013 is racing along
at the speed of a bullet train! With a
new year looming just around the bend
we have 2014 wall calendars and 2014
-2015 small two year planners for your
handbag or shirt pocket. Bet you have
at least one appointment you need to
record already.
Thanksgiving cards will go on the
card rack soon with Christmas cards appearing soon
afterwards. If you mail Christmas cards early, speak
with us about your needs. There must be folks who
would enjoy receiving holiday cards from you.
4C’s is one more place you can recycle your old
batteries. We found some customers buying new
ones wanted to leave their old ones with us.

The photo shows new resident and new Foxhole
member Fritz Toussaint demonstrating his skill at
wood turning. Fritz has donated the lathe, which he
had in his shop in Highlands, to the Foxhole. It is a
JET lathe with electronic variable speed drive and
will accommodate up to a 10” diameter bowl or a
30” long spindle. It is very quiet when operating
and easy to use. Fritz or I will be happy to show
you how to use it. Let us know if you are interested.

Garden
Brrr! Fall has definitely arrived!
The cool days and nights are refreshing
and invigorating. So, I hope we have
more walkers in our garden. Look all
around Canterbury at the beautiful maples. The leaves are featuring brilliant
Susan Perry colors, the most impressive are the
deep reds. Hurry out before they all
drop off their branches.
The private gardeners have been busy all fall
keeping their gardens colorful. Here it is November
and we can still enjoy a colorful array of flowers.
Please observe the iris garden. Margaret Langford and Jennifer Evans along with the strong arms
of Keith have weeded that area. They removed all
the iris and will soon replant them to be ready for
spring. This will be a great improvement.
We still have no available garden plots. But if
anyone is interested in working in the garden, give
me a call, I have started a waiting list.
We have two spaces left in the greenhouse. We
are all beginning to bring our outdoor plants into the
greenhouse with the threat of frost. I will be happy
to assign these last two spaces. Just give me a call.
The garden committee appreciates all the ideas
that residents have sent to Margaret for enhancing
our garden. These suggestions will be passed along
to Edward Daugherty who is helping us with a long
range plan.
There are bugs on some of the orchids in the orchid house. Spraying has started. Anyone with orchids in the greenhouse, be sure to check the leaves.
Our professional garden helpers will soon be
planting cardinal flowers in the south bog. Just
think how colorful this will be!
See you in the garden!

Know Your Staff
WANDA HUNTER
Having five brothers and six sisters meant always having someone to play with: Red Rover,
Hopscotch, Kickball, Jump Rope. Wanda Hunter
never just sat around the house. She grew up in
Bloomington, Illinois, near Chicago and lived there
with her parents and siblings until she finished high
school. She had a wonderful job for over 16 years
with Nestle in a candy factory. At one point during
her work, she went to care for a friend of her father,
and from that time on, she knew she wanted to work
in the Geriatric field. So when she moved to Atlanta, she attended the Africa School of Nursing
where she became a Certified Nursing Associate.
Because her sister, Jean Thornton, was working
at Canterbury Court in the Pavilion, Wanda decided
to apply for work here also. She has been at Canterbury for ten years, working on the second floor, caring for our residents who need special help. “I love
working with the elderly,” explains Wanda. “It isn’t
hard work, it’s heart work.”
Wanda enjoys her life at home in Lithonia,
Georgia, and life at her church, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, as well as her Canterbury work.
She has one daughter and one son, but they are
grown now and live here in Georgia with their own
children. Wanda is proud of her four grandchildren.
“The whole family gets together for Sunday dinner
every
two
weeks, and we
talk on the
phone almost
every
day,”
she exclaims.
What a fitness buff she
is!
“I work
out four or
five days a
week,
at
Planet Fitness,
mostly on the
machines,”
Wanda bubWanda Hunter
bles. “I have
already lost 65 pounds. I walk up and down the
steps everywhere I go, and I’m careful with my diet.
I also love to dance. (Gregory Hines was my idol.)”
Wanda sums up her life with her philosophy: “I
put on a happy face, and I don’t let anything get me
down. Life is about living.” This kind of optimism
makes the Pavilion a place of positive feelings, a
place where nurses and residents reach out to each
other, a place of comfort and healing and grace.

Recycling
Single stream recycling is coming to
Canterbury Court. Executive Director
Andrea Price made the announcement
at the Town Hall meeting on October
17th, with the Recycling Committee
members appearing as supporting acRuth Anne tors. The new plan will begin in late
Foote
November. Thereafter, recyclable items
can be placed in any of the bins in the
trash rooms—they no longer will have to be bagged
or separated. Food waste and other wet garbage,
enclosed in plastic bags, will still go down the chute.
Recyclable items will be separated for recycling by
the contractor at their facility.
Recyclable items include: Mail, grocery bags,
magazines, cardboard, newspapers, other paper,
plastic bottles, plastic grocery bags, steel cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles and more.
The battery recycling process, which has been in
place since June, will continue in the usual manner
since batteries are one of the items that cannot be
placed in the new bins. In addition to batteries,
common items that cannot be placed in the receptacles include: containers with food residue, Styrofoam, clear plastic food containers, plastic cutlery,
plastic cups, and chemicals. In the coming months,
the committee will plan practical ways to recycle the
items on this list that residents dispose of most often.
Residents will get printed information that lists
and illustrates recyclable items, posters will be hung
in trash rooms and informational sessions will be
offered before recycling begins. The Recycling
Committee and Hall Monitors will collaborate with
staff to promote the plan and inform residents about
new procedures.
Recycling committee members are celebrating
this important step forward in environmental stewardship at Canterbury Court and enjoying the enthusiastic comments they are hearing from residents.
As the committee has pursued its goals, it has discovered that Canterbury Court staff has worked behind-the-scenes to pave the way for change. Housekeeping Director Zina Hunter and the Housemen in
the Housekeeping department are already removing
trash from the trash rooms daily, and will continue
to do so. Dining Services Director Rebecca Montagne and Chef Adam Rice developed a composting
project and set up the systems that made recycling
possible in dining services. Members of the Security team began to recycle batteries months ago. Executive Director Andrea Price and the administrative
team undertook the budgeting and contracting work
necessary to put the program in place. Assistant Administrator Julie Parker, Housekeeping Director
Zina Hunter and Maintenance Director Brandon
Fowler are working with the contractor to make the
new system work smoothly for residents and staff.
Good work, Canterbury Court staff!
In the coming days, watch for the leaflets, posters and meetings that will answer your questions so
that you may continue to make our slogan a reality:
Canterbury Court: Lovers of the Environment.

Grand Canyon trip – Our Bucket List
By Randy Wilson
Started with a 4 hour Delta flight to Phoenix, a
Hertz rental and two hour drive up I-17 to Sedona,
at 5,000 ft., named for the gold prospector’s wife.
We fell in

oceans. Then,
off to the Grand Canyon via a twisty mountain road
through Oak Creek canyon with a stop at an overlook, where Navajo Indians were selling their wares.
Then, back to I-17, through Flagstaff, and on to
the Canyon through desolate Navajo country to the
East entrance of the Park. This less travelled route
follows the gorge created by the Colorado River and
provides a hint of what’s to come. A train from the
town of Williams to the south provides daily service
to the south rim in addition to Ariz.64.
Entering the park, with a stop to pay the nominal
$10.00 fee (and get our “lifetime” senior pass), we
drove on to Maswik

was perfect. Shirtsleeve temperatures during the
day and sweater weather in the evening. (No, we
did not hike or take a mule ride down into the canyon or a helicopter ride over it!!)
We drove back to Sedona from the South entrance, spending two more days there, enjoying a
beautiful sunset from Airport Mesa, a ride in the
Pink Jeep, and a short drive to Jerome, site of a former copper mine perched precipitously on the side
of a mountain.

Vespers
The Vespers Committee’s new “Shepherd” service started the first of September this year in an effort to more quickly integrate new residents into the
life of our community. The weekly 7:30 pm Tuesday Vespers Services in the Chapel on the ground
floor of the West Tower are interdenominational, are
held from September thru June and are available to
all residents and their guests.
The service is conducted each week by a different clergy member from one of the many local
churches and religious institutions. The services are
usually short (30 to 40 minutes) and are usually very
interesting.
The “Shepherd” program is designed to have a
current resident (preferably of the same denomina-
tion as the new resident) invite the new resident to
attend a Vespers Service with them at the earliest
convenient date after they move in.
It is an excellent opportunity for the new resident to meet other residents. This can speed up the
integration of new residents into the lively life and
activities of Canterbury Court.
When you are asked to be a “Shepherd” by inviting a newcomer to vespers, please try to accept. If
you are a new resident and are invited by someone
to attend a Vespers service, treat yourself and accept. You will be glad you did.

stranger for a walk in the woods, and as they journey farther and farther away from the center of town, we learn

her life. Brilliant octogenarian Bernie Diamond is wonderful in what turned out to be his final role.

Oglethorpe University Art Museum, November 26
“Picasso, Braque & Leger: 20th Century Modern Masters”
This exhibit of more than 80 works introduces viewers to lithographs, etchings and aquatints by three of the
20th century’s modernist leaders. The earliest dated engraving in the exhibition is Picasso’s Dance Barbare,
from his Les Saltimbanques (The Acrobats). Picasso made the engraving when he was just 24 years old. In the
second half of 1904 Picasso’s style exhibited a new direction (his Blue Period lasted from 1900-1904). For
about a year he worked on a series of pictures featuring harlequins, acrobats, and circus performers.
In the Center Gallery are the drawings, prints and sculpture by a number of artists celebrating the life and work
of literary and political figure Victor Hugo. Victor Hugo: Selections from the Schlossberg Collection presents
17 works by 15 nineteenth century artists including Jean Francois Raffaelli and Fredrick Hendrik Kaemmerer.
A bronze sculpture study of 1903 by Jean Boucher for his monumental Hugo sculpture completed in 1913 will
be on view. The larger work was presented by the French government to the island of Guernsey where Hugo
was exiled and where he wrote his most famous works, Norte Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Norte Dame)
and Les Miserables.
The third exhibit is titled “Haddon Sundblom: Santa Paintings.” Haddon Sundblom was a prominent Chicago
illustrator who produced many well-known images in the history of advertising, including the Quaker Oaks
Man, Aunt Jemima, and Santa Claus. He also painted his fair share of pin-up girls, many made famous by
Coca-Cola. Sundblom created more art for Coca-Cola than any other single artist. From 1931to 1964, he produced at least one image of Santa Claus annually for Coca-Cola. His work was reproduced on calendars, posters, and in magazines, ensuring the widespread popularity of his particular conception of Santa.
Sign up at the Front Desk for this interesting trip on Tuesday, November 26.
The bus will leave at 1:45 p.m. and return around 3:30 p.m.
The admission is $3 and the trip fee is $4; costs will be charged to your monthly account.

A Little Humor
Hospital Regulations
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for
patients being discharged. However, while working
as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman
already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help
to leave the hospital.
Age and Wisdom
An old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits
and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering
about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his
direction with the intention of having lunch.The old
German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep poo
now!"
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with
his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther
is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims
loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I
wonder, if there are anymore around here?"
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack
in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and
he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close!
That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching
the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can
put this knowledge to good use and trade it for pro-
Engineering Decision
Two engineering students were biking across a
university campus when one said, "Where did you
get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business,
when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was
meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the
bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

tection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther,
spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with
the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a
fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back
and see what's going to happen to that conniving
canine!"
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther
coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks,
"What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just
when they get close enough to hear, the old German
Shepherd says...
"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour
ago to bring me another panther!"
Moral of this story....
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill
will always overcome youth and treachery!

it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,
"Take what you want."
The first engineer nodded approvingly and said,
"Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn't have
fit you anyway."
