Recently we’ve had a couple residents receive suspicious phone calls and emails. Please be aware that seniors are the number one targets for phone and computer scams. We shared this info in a memo recently but we just want to be sure that everyone is aware of the four most common scams below:

• The first scam to be aware of is one in which you may receive a call from a person saying your computer, smart phone, or tablet has a virus and that you must give them remote access immediately along with a payment (amounts typically vary depending on the scammer). First, under no circumstance should you ever give remote access, or any access, to your computer, phone or tablet to a person you do not know or trust. This is the easiest way for someone to gain personal information about you and steal your identity. No one from Microsoft, Apple, or any other service provider, will contact you in order to gain access to your computer. You have to contact them and jump through a few hoops in order to receive help.

• The second and the most commonly used scam the past two years, is one in which you receive a call from a person saying that your grandchild, or loved one is in some kind of trouble. Typically they’ll say your grandson has been arrested and that you need to send $3,000 to them so they can get them out of jail. Again, this has been the most common scam over the past 2 years targeting seniors. DO NOT give a person you do not know any financial information, EVER.

• The third scam to be aware of is a common email scam in which you’ll get an email from a bank official saying you are the beneficiary of a long lost relative, or that they need your personal information to clear up a problem with one of your accounts. First, no bank will email you for personal information, they already have your information. No matter how official the email looks, it’s a scam. Typically, the email asks for your social security and driver’s license number, and for you to send them a check for $250 so they can send you some outrageous sum of money. Just DELETE the email. If you have a question or a concern about an email and do not want to delete it just yet, DO NOT RESPOND and have the front desk notify David and he’ll be glad to take a look at the email when time permits.

• The last scam to be aware of is a common phone scam where someone calls you saying you owe money to the IRS and that if you do not provide them with personal information or a form of payment, then they’ll send the police out to arrest you. This is BOGUS! The IRS would never call you and threaten to have you arrested. Simply hang up the phone and notify the front desk. They may try and call you back a couple times after, just don’t answer. We promise not to let the police come in and take you away.

These are the most common forms of scams out there, but please be aware that there are many others. If it ever sounds too good to be true it is, just be sure to never give your personal information over the phone or computer unless YOU were the one initiating contact with an organization.

Dopesick, Beth Macy, nonfiction, 2018

Beth Macy, who gave us Factory Man about the furniture business in Bassett, Virginia, has come up with the only book to “chart the opioid crisis in America: an unforgettable portrait of the families and first responders in the front lines…”

As early as 1884, a doctor writing in The Daily Dispatch (Richmond, VA) was warning about the dangers of drug addiction, and throughout the years his warning has been echoed by others. However, for various reasons - money, greed, big pharmaceuticals, etc. - the warnings have been ignored. The current crisis began in the coalfields of southwest Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky but soon spread up

Interstate 85 to cities in the Northeast. It began among the poor, disadvantaged, jobless and spread to wealthy suburbia. It began with stolen pills from the family medicine cabinet and advanced to the use of heroin as users searched for the ultimate “high.” From Roxy to Oxy to heroin was the mantra. Only when the sons and daughters, husbands and wives of the affluent began to die did society take notice.

“Beth Macy shows that the only thing that unites Americans across geographic and class lines is opioid drug addiction. But in a country unable to provide basic health care for all, Macy still finds reasons to hope - and finds signs of the spirit and tenacity necessary in those facing addiction to build a better future for themselves and their families.” This book, while not easy to read, will pull at your heartstrings.

My Dear Hamilton, Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie, historical fiction, 2018

For all of you who saw the musical Hamilton, who read the books about Hamilton, and who have the slightest interest in Alexander Hamilton, this book is a must-read.

“Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton’s extraordinary life spanned nearly a century. She strived, struggled, and survived the first turbulent years of our nation’s founding as the wronged wife at the center of America’s first sex scandal, but she was much more

than that." Eliza was the daughter of one of early America’s most prominent men and ablest generals. As such, she was well-equipped to entertain famous statesmen and to traverse the wilderness to attend Indian conventions at her father’s side. As the wife of

Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s most brilliant soldiers and political minds, and as an activist in her own right, she demonstrated an admirable strength of character. How she balanced her deep religious faith with disillusionment and practicality and how she might’ve come to terms with both the man, and the country, that she sacrificed for and which sometimes disappointed her these form the basis of her story.

As she said to her son William, “It seems to me that the only just way to judge a person is by the sum of their deeds, good and bad. And in the balance, your father did

far more good than harm. That’s all any of us can aim to do with our lives.”

Happy (and informative) reading! - Betty Watkins

Today, with on-line dating services, communication by e-mail and texting, it is nice to remember that once there was a world when people wrote letters. It was by writing letters over a period of three years that the Kinsers really got to know each other and fall in love. These letters led to a 62-year marriage and life with us at Saint Anne’s Terrace. Here is their story.

In the summer of 1953, there was a Methodist Student Conference at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. It

was there that Jean, a native of Belmont, NC and a music major at Greensboro College, met Roland, a Georgia Tech student from Warner Robins, GA. When the conference was over, they returned to their studies, wrote letters and returned to Lake Junaluska the next summer. Jean, after graduation, went on to teach public school music in Burlington, NC. Roland finished Tech with a degree in mechanical engineering and received a Masters degree from Perdue. The letter writing did not stop until they married in 1956. After marriage, they settled in Savannah, GA for 8 years, and Roland worked for Erickson Inc., mechanical contractors. While living in Savannah, they welcomed the arrival of their first two children. The family lived briefly in Albany, GA, and Roland continued working in mechanical contracting. In Albany, their third child was born just 8 days before they moved to Falls Church, VA outside Washington DC. Roland bought a company named Atchinson & Keller, and they stayed on until his retirement. They moved to Saint Anne’s in 2016.

During all these years, except for some substitute teaching, Jean was a stay-at-home mom. In her spare time, she sang in church choirs and community choruses. She still enjoys singing with our chorus here at the Terrace and serves as secretary for the Residents association. Roland had spent all of his time at Tech as a co-op student, meaning he alternated working full time and being a student. His salary helped with tuition. He valued his experience in the program so much that as an alumni, he became very involved with the Infinity Group, other graduates who wanted to make sure the program benefitted future students. Over the years, the group has given their time getting various companies to agree to hire students in the program. He has continued being a loyal supporter to this day. You will notice him here at Saint Anne’s wearing Georgia Tech t-shirts and caps. Having been an Eagle Scout, he also volun-teered as a Boy Scout leader through the years and worked with their Jamborees.

Today, the Kinsers’ two sons are Georgia Tech graduates and engineers like their father, and they live in the Atlanta area. Their daughter is a veterinarian in Charleston, West Virginia near the family’s farm they purchased while they lived in the DC area. It became their week-end retreat in those days and is still enjoyed as often as possible. There are five Kinser grandchildren, one great-grandchild and another on the way. - Jackie Hahne
