Dick Maxwell was kind and patient to teach people about what it meant to be
a quadriplegic. In 1970 he gave a speech that was published in the Journal of
Rehabilitation. An excerpt from “Quadriplegia - What Does it Mean?”:
“It means he is entirely dependent on others for the rest of his life,
for every physical activity. He is a mentally independent individual
who has lost all of his physical independence. It means that for the
rest of his life he will see the world from either a sitting or lying
position. He cannot dress himself, wash his face, brush his hair or
eliminate his body wastes without someone else’s help. It means
he cannot hold the hand of someone he loves, because he cannot
grasp. And if a loved one holds his hand, he cannot feel her touch.
He cannot straighten a magazine if its crooked position on a table
bothers him. It means that if he is ill he cannot cough or sneeze
because he has no muscular contraction in his chest.”
His speech expressed what it meant to be quadriplegic in powerful words. To

Welcome New Resident
Chris Bowsman obtained his BA in German, graduating Magna Cum Laude, and
his Masters in Intercultural Communication from Edinboro University. He calls
himself a “cultural investigator” and has a longing to help people understand
each other, as well as himself to be understood. In college a lot of his friends
were foreign students and he identified with the feeling of wanting to make a
connection with people. He says, “I am who I am in spite of and because of my
disability”. After graduation, Chris wanted to live closer to family and googled
“independent living” and our website came up - he said originally he thought
Creative Living sounded too good to be true. He feels it was a giant stroke of
luck that he found us.

Resident News
Sunday night dinners have become a tradition
at Perry Street. At a dinner in March, Princess
James was surprised by the group with an electric
wheelchair. Resident Cheri Mikol worked with the
Veteran’s organization to get the chair donated.
Cheri said, “We’re family here and it’s important
to support each other.” Princess was thrilled and
definitely surprised!
Congratulations to former
resident Ethan Schneider
who placed 3rd in the 2011
Buckeye Classic Wheelchair
National Bodybuilding and
Figure Championships.
Sam Williams arrived back from
visiting his sister in Hawaii. Tamara
serves in the Air Force and Sam
enjoyed some Hawaiian time before
his sister’s reassignment.
Brandon and his parents,
Robin and Karen Fritts
Congratulations to
Brandon Fritts who received
the William M. and Frances
Smith Junk Award at the
Office for Disability Services
Annual Recognition Reception.
Brandon is getting his degree
in Economics with a Business
minor.
While in school, Brandon
works part time in a phone
room for a marketing research
company. In addition, he assists
Creative Living by designing
their annual fund-raising
invitations and other graphic
work.
The William M. and Frances Smith
Junk Endowed Fund was established
in 1982 by the Board of Trustees of
The Ohio State University with a gift to
The Ohio State University Development
Fund from William M. and Frances
Smith Junk.
All gifts are invested in the
University’s Permanent Endowment
Fund; the annual income is to be
awarded to a physically handicapped
student enrolled at The Ohio State
University and residing at Creative
Living. Recipients are determined by
the University Committee for Student
Financial Aid, the University Office for
Disability Services and Creative Living.
Resident Assistants
There was a whole lotta’ of saving going on at Creative Living
over two Sundays in February. Twenty-one Resident Assistants
took their CPR and AED renewal training. When they are first
hired, all of our RA’s go through an intensive 12 hour training
to provide the best and most knowledgeable assistance they can
to our residents. Our Resident Assistants are truly the heart of
Creative Living. We thank our most generous community and
donors for their support of this program.
OT Students Host a Dinner
Written by Audrey Petit, Creative Living Resident Assistant and OT student
Student Occupational Therapy Association students of OSU hosted a Valentine Dinner for Creative Living residents. The
weather was beautiful for February. We had a good turnout from residents and OT students. Rick King grilled hot dogs
and we had chili, corn bread, drinks, and Valentines-themed desserts. The students helped resident Cheri Mikol prepare
and take to-go plates with a little valentines message to residents who could not make it to the lobby. Everyone enjoyed
mingling and playing a couple rounds of Catchphrase. It was a fun evening!
Grill master Rick King “worked” for his dinner by helping
the OT students with the preparation
Billy George shared some of his drawings, enjoyed dinner
and the company of OT students

A Minute with Marilyn
As the Executive Director of Creative Living, I am
proud. I felt proud after reading about the exciting news of
the $100 million gift given by the Wexner family and the
Limited Brands Foundation to The Ohio State University.
I felt proud when I watched the new video on The
Columbus Foundation website, Columbus Smart Capital
video. I felt proud seeing how Columbus is number one in
so many community possibilities and achievements. I am
proud of our philanthropic community and I am especially
proud of our own donors generosity in supporting the
residents of Creative Living. It may not be $100 million or
even $1 million, but every dollar is appreciated and used
to support our mission. I am reminded daily of the power
of philanthropy and how it can change the world.
I feel so proud to be involved with Creative Living
and assure you that our little nonprofit feels the effects
of a philanthropic community every day. I am proud our
Creative Living community stretches from coast to coast
in philanthropic giving. I am proud that we just had our
most successful spring fund raiser ever. I am proud of the
achievements of our residents thanks to the philanthropic
support of our friends. I invite you to share my pride
knowing that your support goes directly to support our
residents and their quest for independence. I hope when
you read our stories it warms your heart and makes you
feel proud as it has mine.
- Marilyn Frank, Creative Living Executive Director
Event News
We are hosting an Open House Wednesday evening,
August 10th. If you are interested in touring the Creative
Living facility, seeing how the Resident Assistance
Program works and meeting some of our residents, let us
know so we can include you in our invitation. E-mail
[email protected] or call Executive Director
Marilyn Frank at 614.421.1226.
This past December was my first opportunity to visit
one of the two Creative Living facilities, meet residents,
and see why my friends have become so passionate
about the organization. I never knew that we had such
a unique organization located in Columbus, and after
meeting residents and seeing the facility, I realized how
vital a role such a group plays in the community.
