The Baslers are retired now but they look back with many fond memories at the years when they personally cared for patients. Mrs. Basler says it was a real challenge but she felt great satisfaction in being able to help so many.

The Baslers are members of the First Christian Church in Santa Ana and at present make their home in Tustin, Califor- nia.
