Our classmate Jayne Carlson lives in Bellingham. She suffered a stroke in 2002 as a result of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. He broke her back in 3 places, lower, middle and neck area. She showed me the diagram. It was during subsequent back surgery that she had the stroke. Jayne lost the ability to speak but has retained great interest in the world around her. Her room at Alderwood Park reflects continuing interest in her AHS experience. The walls are covered with photos, documents and other memorabia. She enjoys visits and communicates well. Treat yourself and stop in for a few minutes. We went through the 1965 Annual and she pointed to pictures wanting to know about so many people. I have spoken with her sister Lynn in Virginia, and her independent caregiver Nancy; they have been very helpful in piecing things together for me. I think anything you have to say would be fine with her. She was excited to know that several of our classmates live in the Bellingham area, at least part of the year.
