The Bulletin

Our Caring Residents

Did you see Taylor Resident Helen Robinson in the Weirs Times Nov. 3? She was surprised to be honored at her church last month by Captain Scott

McNeil of the Salvation Army as, for over 20 years, she regularly helped to facilitate hot meals at the Salvation Army in Laconia along with her son, Andrew. Said McNeil, “Helen is an inspiration for me. She is someone who lives in altruism and selfless giving.”

Taylor Resident Jack Weeks was featured in the New Hampshire Business Review 2017 Charitable Giving Guide just recently too; find that article reproduced as an insert within this bulletin.

In Memoriam Almira Taylor Campbell

Almira Taylor Campbell passed away on October 12 after a brief illness, at the age of 96. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Almira was the grand-niece of Edward Everett Taylor, the original benefactor of our Taylor Community.

Born in Hyde Park, MA on May 26, 1920, Almira attended Colby Jr. College, Mt. Holyoke College and graduated Simmons College in ’42 with a BS in Library Science. She later worked at Yale Law School, Mt. Holyoke College, Mt. Hermon School, Stoneleigh Prospect Hill School and the F. L. Boyden Library at Deerfield Academy from where she retired before moving to Ormond Beach, FL where she lived until moving to Oak Crest Retirement Village in Parkville, MD in 2000.

Mrs. Campbell married the late Vincent Alexander Douglas Argyle Campbell (dec’d 1985) in 1953 and is survived by her daughter, Faith Campbell Bacastow of Bel Air, MD, Cousins, Marsha Taylor of Pasadena, MD, Judith Solatino (Taylor) of Waterford, VA, Sarah Mat-thews of Frederick, MD and grandson, Robert Douglas Campbell MacLean of Essex, MD. A funeral service was held Friday, November 4 in the Chapel at Oak Crest Village arrangements for which were assisted by McNabb Funeral Home of Catonsville, MD. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in Wellesley, MA at a future date.

A bit of history for you, most of which is taken from His-toric Roots of Taylor Community, written by Taylor Community Resident and Historian David Hart:

Edward E. Taylor was described as “the quiet philan-thropist.” In 1909, in honor of his father, Stephen Ladd Taylor and his mother, Almira Brown Taylor, Edward quietly and privately gifted “land ($7,500), with a new building fully equipped ($50,000) and an endowment ($25,000) to the Home.” (Taylor was then known as the Laconia Home for the Aged.) Although this was Edward Taylor’s largest charitable gift, information showing him as benefactor and his parents as hon-orees was not posted in the building until January 1918.

As modest as he was generous, Edward did not attend the opening of the Home. In a subsequent letter to its President, Mr. Stanton Owen, he credited his parents with the inspiration that led to its creation and gave much credit to those overseeing and running the Home, its “committees and the officers in charge.”

New Hampshire Homefront during WWII Monday, November 14, 6:00 p.m.

What was life like for the people who stayed behind in New Hampshire when legions of young men went off to fight World War II in Europe and the Pacific? That’s what producer John Gfroerer examines in the documentary he will share

at the Taylor Community. Things were very different then. Calls to purchase war bonds filled the radio air-waves. Rationing was in force for food and gasoline. Posters reminded that “loose lips sink ships.” The whole country was focused on one goal – win the war. Gfroerer, founder of Accompany Video Production of Concord, has produced more than 40 documentaries about life and history in New Hampshire and Maine and will discuss his work after the showing. Join us at Woodside for this informative presentation.

Pontine Theatre RETURNS with

New England Christmas Monday, November 28 at 6:30pm

Join us at Woodside for this fun perfor-mance. The center-piece of this year’s New England Christ-mas production is Pontine's original stage adaptation of Frank Stockton’s 1895 Christmas story, Cap-

tain Eli’s Best Ear. Cap’n Eli Bunker, a retired sea captain, is inspired, after many lonely years as a wid-ower, to try his hand at celebrating Christmas once again. After much cogitation, he conspires with his friend and neighbor, Cap’n Cephas Dyer, to mount a fitting holiday event. An orphan girl and Mrs. Trim-mer whose husband “sailed away in a schooner and never returned,” fill out the cast of this charming tale. The characters are played by a cast of beauti-fully crafted bunraku-style pup-pets.

Other Voices, Other Lives Wednesday, November 30, 2:00 p.m.

Two years ago, Barbara Bald and poet/friend Beth Fox decided to explore the possibility of read-ing poetry to assisted living resi-dents. To their surprise, they found that not only did residents enjoy hearing the poems, but that the poems themselves stirred memories inside each of them. As a result, new poetry was written to reflect their stories and oral histories. Join us at Woodside for this presentation.

Be Well!

Almira Taylor Campbell (Cont. from Page 1)

Edward Taylor’s philanthropy is well documented in Hart’s book. In addition to his original endowment, he provided a future gift in the form of a $50,000 bequest in his will. Hart wrote, “This Retire-ment Community and the Lakes Region will always be indebted to Edward Everett Taylor.”

A Christmas gift of $20 was sent by Edward Taylor to each resi-dent of the Community (and its matron) between 1910 and 1914. After Edward’s death, his mother continued this gift each year un-til 1924 when, with assistance from her daughter, Jennie Pea-body, she created the Almira Taylor Trust of $19,000 to insure this gift for the future. Interest from this account provides all as-sisted living and nursing residents of Taylor Community a Christ-mas gift to this day.

In collecting history for his book, David Hart located Almira Taylor Campbell, namesake of her great grandmother, Almira Brown Taylor. This came about as Fred and Ruth Bauer, former resi-dents of Taylor now deceased, had received a Christmas card from a former faculty friend from Mt. Hermon School, Northfield, MA, Almira Taylor. Almira (or “Mira” as she was known) wrote that a thought had occurred to her: “I was named for a great grandmother… and my father’s family came from Laconia, NH… they owned a large house… later and old people’s home… I am wondering if there is any connection with the community where you are?” Fred Bauer was very excited to call David and tell him that he had discovered the first living relative of Edward Everett Taylor.

Mira searched through her memorabilia, finding many items of Taylor history and provided David with much valuable information. She sent to Taylor a copy of a painting of Edward, a photo of “Grandma” Taylor and other gifts. She also put us in touch with her cousin, Phillip Ladd Taylor and his wife Miriam, who supplied a second photo of Edward and more information.

After discovering her direct connection to Taylor Community Almi-ra became an avid and regular supporter, sending a most gener-ous donation each year. The community and its rich history meant a great deal to her.

Cousins Phillip and Miriam were warmly welcomed to the Taylor Community in May 1998 by then Executive Director Howard Chandler, the Bauers and the Harts. They had a lovely visit and much information was shared. Phillip later talked with his sister and cousins and encouraged them to visit and see for themselves the organization which their great uncle so generously endowed.

In October 1998, Almira Taylor Campbell was welcomed by the Taylor Community, her first visit, where she was to “grasp first-hand what her great uncle began with his generous gifts.” An af-ternoon tea reception was held in the Taylor Home Atrium where she was greeted by Residents, staff and Directors, and she at-tended the monthly buffet held at the Congregate Living Center (now known as Ledgeview).

In May 1999, Phillip, Miriam, Phillip’s sister, Gretchen Taylor King-man and her husband and others visited Taylor Community. A luncheon and Dessert Reception was held.

Unable to visit herself in her later years, Almira encouraged family members Sarah Kingman Matthews (daughter of Gretchen Taylor

Staff Spotlight

Adam Boehner

You see him everywhere on campus undertaking vast and var-ied jobs and completing all willingly, efficiently and with a smile. But there is more to Adam Boehner than the go to fix-it guy.

Adam is a 26-year resident of Belmont, graduating from Bel-mont High School. He loves hanging out with his family and has an older sister, Amanda. His girlfriend, Ryan, works in healthcare. Adam has been encouraging her to come to Tay-lor (Keep working on her!) Adam loves spending time with his Yorkie, Payton. Not sure if he was named after Peyton Man-ning, but if so, we Pat fans forgive him. When younger, he used to camp with family and friends in Maine. Adam has a soft spot for his “Nana” living in Wells, Maine, whom he tries to see as often as possible.

Adam attended the Huot Technical Center for plumbing and heating and the Manchester Technical College for heating and refrigeration. His training has been put to good use throughout the campus. Before coming to Taylor, Adam worked for an HVAC company. He decided to expand his talent and came to Taylor where he has been for the last 10 years and is loving it. This is made evident by his friendliness, eagerness to help, and positive attitude. As a matter of fact, Adam sees himself being at Taylor for many years to come. He truly makes Tay-lor shine and keeps up working! He also visits the Pembroke campus once a week.

Here’s what you may not know. Adam enjoys four wheeling with friends in Belmont. Make sure you wear that helmet. Ad-am also enjoys mountain biking and fishing and he admits he has no luck in catching any fish - which is probably why steak is his favorite food. But the one thing you might find interest-ing, even shocking about Adam, is that he plays guitar (enjoys country and rock) and belonged to a punk band. Yup, he even sported a Mohawk. Maybe he would consider playing his gui-tar for us. Next time you see him, ask about his many inter-ests and thank him for his very caring manner and hard work.

Share a Smile, Lend a Hand

This is a catch-phrase that all Taylor staff take very seriously. These pictures show President/CEO Michael Flaherty and Human Resources Manager Eliot

Davis as they help to move a bed when a mainte-nance/housekeeping crew was not available in order to accommodate one of our residents. At Taylor you never hear “it’s not my job.” It’s our “Team Taylor” approach that sets

Flik Lifestyles Dietary Aide Mary Ladd did a great job decorating the door to the dining room at Ledgeview.

Join us for a meal; we promise it’ll be a treat!

Nice work, Mary!

LobsterFest

Our recent LobsterFest was once again a stirring success! All three buildings enjoyed lobsters, steamers and all the fixings in a wonderful at-mosphere and a good time was had by most.

We say most, because unfortunately we have to apol-ogize to those guests that RSVP’d as requested and came away empty handed due to the fact that we ran out of lobsters at the Woodside celebration. This should never have happened and we accept the responsibility for allowing it to happen. We should have done a better job managing the numbers, and we will going forward.

As part of that effort, we again ask all residents to RSVP when requested to do so. This includes reser-vations for Tuesday and Thursday night dinners at Woodside. As we move forward, every effort will be made to provide the highest quality of service to all guests. However, those who have made advance reservations will be given priority.

This is a picture from last November’s Taylor Cares food drive for the Carey House. Resident participation was phenomenal, and it felt so good to help. We filled Carey House’s large van twice!!

This year’s Drive will benefit Belknap House, Laco-nia’s new homeless shelter for families, scheduled to open late next month. A non-profit like us, Belknap House will work with community partners, volunteers and donors to help families get back on their feet and on the road to self-sufficiency. We’ll hold our Drive a bit later this year to better coincide with their opening.

Stay tuned for more information, coming soon!

We do!

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true hom-age comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt

Almira Taylor Campbell (Cont. from Page 3)

Kingman, grand-niece of Edward Taylor) and Marsha Taylor daughter of Phillip Ladd Taylor, grand-nephew of Edward Taylor) to visit Taylor Community. Almira was Marsha’s father’s first cousin, although they called her ‘Aunt Mira.’ Marsha had previously exchanged cor-respondence with David Hart after her Aunt Mira ex-pressed an interest in her getting more involved in the history of Taylor Community.

Sarah and Marsha visited us in June of this year on behalf of Mira, unable to make the trip herself. Presi-dent/CEO Michael Flaherty, Marketing Director Paul Charlton, and Administrative Services Director Paula Glaude provided the ladies with a tour, and the group was joined for lunch in the Lake Room by Finance VP Ed Soucy, Resident Trustees Ron Baker and C. Allen Gable and their wives, Nan and Carol, and Resident Trustee Barbara Wood and Resident Historian David Hart.

David expressed to me that he was grateful for the op-portunity to visit with Sarah and Marsha, and felt very privileged to be seated between the two at lunch. He and Allen Gable later took the ladies to visit the Card Room at Woodside, where they viewed a plaque ac-knowledging Almira’s generous support of Taylor Com-munity.

All were pleased to have met Sarah and Marsha and share time with them, and we look forward to their fu-ture contact.

~Maureen Ballester, with Historical content from David Hart, Historic Roots of Taylor Community

Buried in Calendars and Cards Well, not actually buried… but I do have an awful lot of them. Do you need a 2017 calendar? Christmas cards? I’ve lots of those! I also have a large number of assorted greeting cards, birthday, get well, thank you, and blank. Feel free to visit me at Taylor Home and help yourself to those you would like!

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
