Treelines is a publication of the Trezevant Foundation On the cover: The Rev. Robin Hatzenbuehler in St. Edward Chapel From the CEO Kent Phillips Length, Width and Depth—I am honored to be associated with a community with solid roots growing in faith. And faith, however one interprets that concept, is a strong component of what wellness means at Trezevant. Trezevant is a community of beautiful living spaces and a stimulating array of resident services, programs and events. We are exploring new tastes through our “Meal in the Life” program, and hosting celebrity chefs who define trends in taste and nutrition. We are continually developing new ways to improve physical wellness through innovative fitness approaches. We continue to work on the improvement of outcomes for the most frail through the difficult, yet rewarding rehabilitative work we focus on every day in the Allen Morgan Center and The Terrace. Like a well-scored soundtrack for a movie, our pastoral staff is continually working in the background to support all that defines what Trezevant is, sometimes directly of course, but mostly in subtle ways that aren’t obvious, nor are they intended to be. I am proud of the hard work that our Chaplain team (Robin, Julie and Dina) engage in every day with our residents, our staff, and our extended network of family and friends. It is important and sometimes thankless work, but it helps to define what life in abundance means at Trezevant and I am thankful for it. When we talk about the value of “quality of life” versus “quantity of life”, we are illustrating the value of the Chaplains’ work. Evan Esar said it perfectly: “You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth”. The medical profession is doing what it can to address length of life; let us help you address width and depth. From the FOUNDATION Nora Conaway I want to begin and end this article by thanking all the people who have given so generously to the Trezevant Foundation during the last year. I am buoyed each time someone walks into my office or sends a check through the mail because I feel that they understand the need to increase our foundation to a level that will allow it to build upon itself. They have true concern for their neighbors who might need extra support down the road to remain in their home here. We are truly blessed by the giving spirit which abounds in our Trezevant community. At the beginning of the year, a goal was set for residents to raise $125,000 with 75% participation. I am pleased to report that we made the 75% participation goal and exceeded the monetary goal by $13,000. That is remarkable and I thank you all for digging deeply and helping us to spread the word. In addition to the total raised by residents, another $64,219 came into the annual giving fund from friends and family members. What a caring community to be a part of! Thank you. Bruce B. Hopkins Vice-Chairman David L. Bowlin Secretary Merilyn G. Mangum Past Chairman Scott J. Crosby James H. Calandruccio, M.D. Kenneth F. Clark, Jr. Matthew R. Crow C.

Hopkins From the CHAPLAIN Meet our BOARD The Rev. Robin Hatzenbuehler I ran across a quote recently from Paula D’Arcy: “God comes to us disguised as our life.” That struck me particularly because the focus of our Chapel programs/classes lately has been on meditation and then segued into gratitude. In other words the focus has been on being here, now. Pausing each day for a time of meditation can help us remember to “be here, now.” After a two month class on meditation this fall, we continue to offer a time for communal meditation in our Chapel every Wednesday at 2:30. Daily meditation can help us see, truly see. Spiritual writer Richard Rohr points out that “the division between secular and sacred breaks down when you learn how to see.” No wonder Teillard de Chardin suggests that the “whole of life lies in seeing.” On January 6 we entered the season of Epiphany, or revelation of the divine. It will be a short season this year as Lent begins on February 10. So don’t miss this important time of becoming more aware of the manifestation of the divine in the world around us. See, really see, that God comes disguised as our life. And to improve your vision, come to an information session on Wednesday, January 27 regarding the international best-selling book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Linda Douty Mischke will give an Kenneth F. Clark, Jr. overview of the book, the commitment it requires, as well as her experience and that of others with its content. This will give you the information to decide whether to join a small group study of this book. By the time some of you read this article, we will have entered yet another season of the Church year: Lent. It begins with Ash Wednesday. There will be two Ash Wednesday services here at Trezevant: one at 10:30am at Allen Morgan Center and one at noon in St. Edward Chapel. The following Wednesday, February 17, please join us for the Chaplain’s class at 3pm to take on “A Grown-Up Lent.” Kenneth F. Clark, Jr., a long time participant on both the Trezevant Board of Directors and the Trezevant Foundation, describes himself as “A Yankee by birth, a Memphian by marriage.” He is a graduate of Dartmouth College, earned an MBA from The Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth, a law degree from Yale Law School, and currently serves as counsel to the regional law firm of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs. Honored by his Dartmouth College Class of 1950 for “fifty years of distinguished service to his community,” he is a Trustee emeritus of Rhodes College and recipient of its 1992 Distinguished Service Medal. He currently serves as a Trustee of the Dixon Gallery & Gardens, and of its Endowment Fund; is an Honorary Trustee of The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis; a past officer and director of the United Way of Greater Memphis, and of the Memphis Rotary Club. A member of Calvary Episcopal Church, he has served multiple terms on its vestry, as both Senior and Junior Warden thereof; currently serves on its Endowment Foundation; and is a former member of The Bishop and Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee. “How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be.” Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow Resident artist Petie Williams is pictured with her portrait of her two great grandchildren, John and Larkin Shannon. Our Stories by Julia Allen Kathleen Chang Brafford has brought talent and will to a challenging life. She was born in Tijuaun, capital of Shanxi Province, about 350 miles southwest of Beijin, China. The second of five children, two girls, three boys, she was blessed with loving and progressive-thinking parents. Her father was an astute real estate investor and businessman, becoming CEO of an armament and ammunition factory during the administration of General Chiang Kai Chek. In 1937, with the invasion of China by Japan, the coastal provinces were captured by the Japanese, endangering the vital armament plant of Mr. Chang. The factory and Chang family were forced to move to a safer interior part of China, in Sichuan province. In the words of Kathleen, “It was a fearful eight years of Japanese bombing until Japan surrendered in 1945”. Kathleen was educated in Taijuan through the seventh grade. Her further education, high school and two years of college were in Chengdo, China’s interior. Her Christian high school was unique, a coed boarding school sponsored by Oberlin College in Cleveland, Ohio, where her teachers were largely Chinese and American Oberlin graduates, and, students were Christian, Buddhists, and non-believers. She describes it this way, “This highly academic setting midst the widely varied student body gave me an important life experience”. Kathleen continued her education, earning a BS degree in textile engineering. In 1947, fighting between Chinese Communists and Nationalists broke out. Not wishing to be involved in supplying munitions for a civil war, Mr. and Mrs. Chang and their two younger sons moved to British Hong Kong. Plans were made for Kathleen and her older brother to seek further study in the United States, but, it took almost a year before paper work could be completed. In 1949, the two Chang siblings arrived in the United States; she enrolled in North Carolina Agriculture and Engineering College (now North Carolina State University) in Raleigh and her brother entered the University of Kansas in Lawrence. At that time, the engineering school of the college was all male and, without a woman’s dormitory, Kathleen had to rent a room in a private home. Her limited English skills forced the young student to work very hard to achieve a master’s degree in textile chemistry. In the summer of 1950, romance bloomed between Kathleen and a fellow student from North Carolina. It began when Kathleen was studying in the library and a male student who worked there began asking her to “please move”. She took him literally and got up and moved her seat. After a few repeats of this request, she realized he meant to ask her to go out of the library so they could talk. She responded and the rest is history. Kathleen Chang became Mrs. London ( Joe) H. Brafford upon her graduation that year. In 1951, the couple welcomed a baby boy, Wayne. When Joe graduated the following year, he was immediately drafted as an ROTC commissioned officer to fight in the Korean War. His young wife and son stayed in Raleigh where she worked as a chemist for North Carolina State. The highlights of 1953 and 1954 were her attaining American citizenship and Joe’s return from two years of Army service in Japan at the end of the war. Both worked in Raleigh until 1959 when they chose to make Charlotte home because it had become an important textile center. Kathleen was with the fiber company of Celanese Corporation as a dyeing and finishing chemist, while Joe worked in chemical coatings at Sherman-Williams Company. Meanwhile, the senior Changs and sons fled Hong Kong, having been stripped by the Communists of all financial and real estate holdings. They settled in Montevideo, Uruguay where there are now many Chang descendants. Kathleen had to digest the fact that her China connection was no more; she was now thoroughly tied to the United States. By 1975 Wayne Brafford, their beloved son, had completed college, graduate study, and had married his high school sweetheart, a United Methodist minister, whom his parents adore, as well as produced three cherished grand-children. He had earlier worked in New York with International Paper Company, but had been transferred and promoted to senior vice-president in Memphis. Wayne retired in 2011. In 1977 disaster struck the Braffords when Joe, at forty-nine, suffered a stroke that Kathleen Chang Brafford left him disabled. Again, a major life change faced Kathleen. She became not only the breadwinner, but the care-giver. She feels that it was both her will and her faith that enabled her to meet these two challenges for nineteen years. In 1984 she chose to retire early to devote full time to care for Joe. While he was still able to travel, they visited the grandchildren and toured the country by Amtrak. In 1992 Wayne and Kathleen moved Joe to Memphis. He died in 1998 at the Allen-Morgan Center. The new widow knew she had to keep busy; she turned to a new hobby – watercolor painting. Christ United Methodist Church had become important to her, as well as Minor Murrah, art teacher and friend. She considered several retirement places to live, but, because of Minor, Petie Williams, art friends, Virginia Hollan (her circle leader) and the art classes at Trezevant, she decided to move to Trezevant in September, 2015, where she is very happy and glad she made that choice. Kathleen loves people and has found many friends through Kathleen is standing center, her sister left, sister-in-law right, and mother seated. her art. Her Manor apartment’s walls are testimony to her skill. Especially beautiful is a watercolor self-portrait. She hides her many blue ribbons and awards in a box. Courage and determination have led her through difficult times. Her life is an open study of China’s sad recent turmoil. Kathleen Brafford is a role model for us here of a life that prevails amid adversity and finds joy. The Reverend Robin, Called To Trezevant By Nora Conaway, Development Director vi’ car - a cleric in charge of a chapel in the Episcopal Church in the United States Around 1999, Robin Hatzenbuehler, who had a master’s degree in speech pathology, found her life revolving more and more around the Episcopal Church. As a member of Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, she was completing her four-year commitment to the Education for Ministry program and feeling that there was something more that she was being called to do. She read a poem which snagged her attention when it suggested that she was asking big questions and accepting small answers. After she made a list of the books she had read over the past three or four years and realized that just about every one was of the theology genre, she decided to begin spiritual direction through The Rev. Virginia Brown, telling her that she wanted to be involved in something which would take everything she had. She decided to slowly wade into the water when she began taking classes at the Memphis Theological Seminary. Under the advisorship of Dr. Mitzi Minor, Robin smiled her way through the four-year program knowing she had made the right decision. After having made it through the various Episcopal hoops, Robin was ordained as a priest in 2005 and spent two years serving in her home church. When she was approached by John Webb to consider taking the position at Trezevant in 2007 after the previous chaplain died suddenly, she felt that she was looking at a mostly blank slate she could tailor to the pastoral needs of the community. There were several reasons she felt a special calling to Trezevant, not the least of which was the fact that she would be serving her mother who had been a resident for several years. Robin particularly loves doing services whether they are Easter, Christmas, or all the ordinary Sundays in between, and being at Trezevant would give her the opportunity to do this several times a week. A particular favorite is the Blessing of the Animals at which she gets to don her costume (see photograph) taken from the book Where the Wild Things Are. There was not even any questioning of her decision to take the position when, several months after she arrived, she had to say goodbye to the old chapel and pack up everything for a year and a half in the activities room during the renovation. The end result of the beautiful St. Edward Chapel and adjoining meditation room was very much worth the wait. Since that time, the pastoral program has grown by leaps and bounds. When she first arrived, she had a wonderful team of members Rev. Julie, Chief, and owner George. Rev. Robin confers with organist Judy Clark about the day’s hymns. from The Church of the Holy Communion who served as Lay Eucharistic Ministers and lectors to fill in gaps. Now St. Edward Chapel’s worship liturgy is truly “the work of the people,” with a full rotation of Trezevant residents who serve as Lay Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, altar guild members, ushers, crucifers and Judy Clark, the organist. Resident Dr. Ray Curle often brings the gift of music through his oboes, and a “Special Occasion” choir is filled with residents as well. There are six services each week at all areas of our campus, meditation periods, visits from service dogs, special occasion services, and pastoral care visits to both resident homes and area hospitals. A conscious decision was made early on that, although the services would follow the Book of Common Prayer, St. Edward Chapel would not be a mission of the Episcopal diocese so that there would be inclusion for worshippers of other faiths. Dina Smith has been Rev. Robin’s right hand and volunteer extraordinaire through much of the time, serving her in all organizational projects, making visits, and doing special readings. In the last year, The Rev. Julie McKenna, an ordained Methodist elder, has joined the staff, participating in all areas of Trezevant pastoral care, but especially Trezevant Terrace. She is a musician and accompanies songs on her autoharp, wrangles service dogs, performs church services wherever necessary, and gives comfort to those in need of it. The Trezevant community is truly blessed to have such shepherds tending the flock! HOLIDAY CHEER On December 16, the residents of the Manor, Place, and Homes gathered once again to celebrate the holiday season.

In 1977, the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee established Trezevant as the premier retirement community in Memphis. From the day the doors opened until today, Trezevant’s not-for-profit status, innovative continuing care approach, and commitment to its residents confirm its unique position and assure its future. And for always. The Trezevant Foundation was established to ensure that LifeCare residents would always have a place here, still at home at Trezevant, even if they outlived their financial resources. Additionally, the Foundation also provides resident amenities to enhance life in the community, and an employee scholarship fund to improve their lives and the skills they bring to Trezevant.
