A Love Story

In the Residents' Council meeting at the --Home last week, Gerri, the Recreation Worker who was facilitating the meeting, asked if anyone else wanted to add anything.

She went around the room, naming different people. Halfway through, Mr. Franon raised his hand. "I have something to say, " he said.

Gerri brought him the microphone. He took it and stood up, facing the twenty five people who were sitting there. He looked around the room then at Jane, who was chairing the meeting.

Then he said, " I would like to ask Jane if she will marry me."

Jane said yes.

So at the end of March, Jane and Mr. Franon are getting married.

Love is so often just a whisper away. All we have to do is listen.
