Have you met Mae Frazier? She also lives in Lexington. I was fortune that
she had a copy of her work and I purchased a copy last fall. I had met her
at a Center for Creative Living (adult day care) dinner. Mae was one of the
pioneers in adult day care centers when she was in public health service
several years ago. She is now 90+ and a lovely lady.
