Featured Resident
Jack M.
A father of two children, a grandfather of 4, a husband for 57 years
and a brother to 3 siblings: Jack
M.’s life began on February 15,
1924 in Chicago, IL. Jack became
a husband on January 20, 1952
when he married Jessie. He made a
fine living for his family and himself
as an insurance salesman. Jack
will tell stories from his “working
days,” and readily gives his opinion on matters. He has a good sense
of humor, mostly known for his “airport” joke he likes to tell when
greeted with “Hi, Jack!” In his spare time Jack prefers to watch TV and
nap, but will stay awake to watch his favorite movie, The Godfather.
Although Thanksgiving is Jack’s favorite holiday, he prefers a nice
steak over any other food and states that his favorite place to go is
a steak restaurant. Another great example of Jack’s humorous side
is when he was asked to tell us a secret that we would be surprised
to know about him, he replied, “If I told you it won’t be a secret.”

Every February across the country,
candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones. Where
did these icons and traditions begin?
Who is this Cupid Guy?
In Roman mythology Cupid (from
Latin cupido: “desire”) is the son of
Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros,
god of love. Cupid is often said to be
a mischievous boy who goes around
wounding both gods and humans
with his arrows, causing them to fall
in love. The Romans believed white
roses grew where the tears of Venus fell, as she mourned the loss of
her beloved Adonis. Her son Cupid,
while being stung by a bee, shot
arrows in the rose garden; the sting
of the arrows became thorns. Venus
pricked her foot on a thorn, and the
droplets of blood dyed the roses red.
Valentine's Greetings
The oldest known Valentine gift still
in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to
his wife while he was imprisoned
in the Tower of London. The greeting, written in 1415, is part of the
manuscript collection of the British
Library in London, England. The first
commercial Valentine's Day greeting
cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother
of the Valentine, made elaborate
creations with real lace, ribbons and
colorful pictures known as "scrap."
