The Rise of Duke Ellington The first day of June brings Seth Kibel back to Edenwald. Seth, one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier woodwind specialists, will present The Rise of Duke Ellington, chronicling his rise from the most inauspicious of beginnings to become one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Find out how The Duke made the transition from "hired help" to a pianist, composer, and bandleader second to none. Recordings and live performances by Seth on the saxophone, clarinet and flute will keep this presentation as lively and exciting as The Duke's music itself. See you there on Wednesday, June 1 at 7:30 in the auditorium.

Notes from a Colored Girl: The Civil War Pocket Edenforum is pleased to welcome Dr. Kay Whitehead on Monday, June 13 at 7:30 in the auditorium as she presents her book Notes from a Colored Girl. In her book she examines the life and experiences of Emilie Frances Davis, a freeborn twenty-one-year-old mulatto woman, through a close reading of three pocket diaries she kept from 1863 to 1865. Dr. Whitehead explores Davis's worldviews and politics, her perceptions of both public 1

and private events, her personal relationships, and her place in Philadelphia's free black community in the nineteenth century. Dr. Karsonya (Kaye) Wise Whitehead is Associate Professor of Communication and African and African American Studies at Loyola University Maryland; the Founding Executive Director of The Emilie Frances Davis Center for Education, Research, and Culture; a K-12 Master Teacher in African American History; an award-winning curriculum writer and lesson plan developer.

Innocent: Confessions of a Welfare Mother Edenforum is pleased to welcome Barbara Morrison on Monday, June 20 at 7:30 in the auditorium as she tells us her story about life on welfare. Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent. Barbara Morrison, who writes under the name B. Morrison, is a Baltimore native who is the author of this memoir and two poetry collections, Terrarium and Here at Least. Barbara's award-winning work has been published in anthologies and magazines. She conducts writing workshops, provides editing services, and (as the owner of a small press) speaks about publishing and marketing.

Fact-checking in unusual times: The 2016 race for the White House How many times have you listened to a political candidate and said, along with the comedian, Bill Maher: “I don’t know for a fact [that he/she is lying] I just know it’s true”? PolitiFact is a fact-checking website that rates the accuracy of 2

claims by elected officials and others who speak up in American politics, from small inaccuracies to “pants on fire” misstatements. Their “truth-o-meter” should allow a more meaningful participation in the political process. Edenforum is pleased to welcome Jon Greenberg on Wednesday, June 22 at 7:30 in the auditorium to talk about fact checking during this presidential race. Jon is a staff writer with PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prizewinning fact-checking news service. Since 2011, he has run claims from politicians, pundits, Facebook posts and tweets through the patented Truth-o-Meter. Most recently, Jon has helped launch PolitiFact’s partnership with Johannesburgbased Africa Check to assess statements tied to global health and development. He is a two-time winner of the Society of Professional Journalists investigative journalism award, and has degrees from Johns Hopkins University, Syracuse University and Harvard University.

First Dads “What kind of a father is a man? The question is so basic and potentially revealing of character, yet most presidential biographers barely discuss it. With insight, grace, and wit, Joshua Kendall delves deeply into the fascinating and often fraught relationships of presidents and their progeny. With meticulous research, he draws connections between presidential parenting styles and governing policies. Edenforum is pleased to welcome Mr. Kendall on Monday, June 27 at 7:30 in the auditorium. Joshua C. Kendall was born in New York City. He received his BA (summa cum laude) from Yale where he studied comparative literature. He also did graduate work in comparative literature at Johns Hopkins. For his excellence in reporting on psychiatry, he has received national journalism awards from both the National Mental Health Association (now Mental Health America) and the American Psychoanalytic Association. He lives in Boston where he has ample opportunity to indulge his love of squash. He is currently an Associate Fellow of Yale’s Trumbull College.

Meet Helen Mullan

Meet Patricia Owens

A warm welcome to a gracious new resident here at Edenwald, Helen Mullan. At the end of April, she was found to be quite settled in her apartment, 413, and busy with getting pictures hung and involved with family members.

Patricia Owens was born in Baltimore and graduated from Mount Saint Agnes High School and Notre Dame College where she majored in math (because she liked it and it was easy!) After college she worked for a while at the Aeronautics Department at Johns Hopkins and then went to Germany for five years with Special Services, a civilian organization that works with the military. While in Germany she was able to travel extensively throughout Europe.

Helen Hiddlestadt was born in Baltimore and attended Kenwood High School. For five or six years after that she worked for a dental office and was responsible for making dental appointments. In 1944, just after the war, Helen married Joe Mullan. Helen and Joe reared their children in Stoneleigh where they stayed until they were grown. Believe it or not, she has six children, all born within ten years, 14 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Five of the six children live locally so, needless to say, she stays busy with family. Helen is delighted with her move to Edenwald: her apartment and the many people she has met. Helen emphasized her continuing involvement with her family while enjoying the pool and meeting new people regularly. Marj Quigley

When Patricia came home to Baltimore she worked for the Red Cross and became their Director of Youth Services, which started a blood donor program for high school students as well as a sign language class and a deaf awareness program. At the time she was living in downtown Baltimore. She then became head of Public Relations for the Baltimore Red Cross. Patricia was briefly married and, during that time, lived in Howard County. Patricia does not have children but has 10 nieces and nephews. One niece, her namesake, will be visiting from Sante Fe with her French husband and Patricia is looking forward to showing them her apartment and Baltimore. She has a nephew in Baltimore who comes to visit her and a brother in Charlottesville, Virginia. 5

Before moving to Edenwald, Patricia lived in Charles Village. She was involved in the Village Learning Place which took over a closed Pratt Library. Patricia enjoyed pottery, was a member of the Potter’s Guild and also did some painting. She likes reading and will join the book club. She also loves gardening and had a flower box here even before she moved in! Patricia had wonderful neighbors in Charles Village and hated to leave there but finds Edenwald a remarkably friendly community – residents and staff alike. We welcome this interesting and active person to Edenwald! Sue Miller

Meet Shirley Kaufman Shirley Kaufman, who just moved into Apartment 1225 in the Terraces, is no stranger to the Edenwald neighborhood. Both she and her daughter graduated from Goucher College, Edenwald's next door neighbor.

Ever since Shirley was one year old, she has lived in Baltimore. She married Joseph Kaufman, a Baltimore man, and has two sons and a daughter who grew up in Baltimore. Now she has three grandchildren. Along the way, Shirley decided to go back to college and went to American University where she received a Master's degree which opened the door to a career in Public Relations. She worked for Nordstrom's and Johns Hopkins Hospital where she was the Director of Patient Relations, and then, spent a busy 15 years at the Peabody Conservatory Archives. For recreation, Shirley enjoys music, dancing and the theater. And currently she is planning a July trip to the Berkshires. Meanwhile, she has settled happily into her new home at Edenwald.

Ball Shooter Alan Shecter won his way into the second round of the first Annual Edenwald 8-Ball Billiards Tournament May 17, easily out—aiming the likeable Bill Milner in the Edenwald Billiards Room. He will face the veteran Frank Knecht on Thursday in Round Two. Shecter pocketed all seven solids and called the 8—ball for a corner straight shot to win. “There’s a lot of room for improvement in my aiming,” the modest Shecter said. “I’m nearly 80 years old, but I am nevertheless the youngest ‘ball—shooter’ in the tournament,” he added. He asked to be careful when spelling “ball—shooter”. “It’s ‘ball’, not ‘bull’, he said. 6

Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis) Vaccine Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) are very serious diseases. Tdap vaccine can protect us from these diseases. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that Persons aged 65 years and older (e.g., grandparents, child-care providers, and health-care practitioners) who have or who anticipate having close contact with an infant aged less than 12 months and who previously have not received the Tdap vaccine should receive a single dose of Tdap to protect against pertussis (whooping cough) and reduce the likelihood of transmission. For adults aged 65 years and older, a single dose of Tdap vaccine may be administered in persons who previously have not received the Tdap vaccine. The Tdap vaccine is offered at any local pharmacy like Safeway, CVS and Walgreens, these pharmacies also allow walk-ins. Your doctor’s office may offer the vaccine as well. You do not need a doctor’s order to receive the vaccine. The cost of the vaccine is billed to your Medicare/medical insurance; you may have a co-pay associated with the vaccine. You can always ask the pharmacist to check your insurance prior to getting the vaccine to know in advance if you will have a co-pay. Please let the medical suite or your doctor know if you have further questions.

Employee Spotlight: Executive Chef Isaac Redd Edenwald wants to welcome the newest member to our Dining Services Management Team. Mr. Isaac Redd is our new Executive Chef.

He is Serve Safe certified (Sanitation and Cooking focus), he is a C.D.M. (Certified Dietary Manager) and he has his Food Service Manager credentials for Maryland as well.
