Lillian Will, like
so many of our residents, is involved with many interests, both at Friendship Village and
elsewhere.

what Lillian has been up to in the following story from our local Mount Carmel Health that

Meet Lillian Graham
 Lillian
has been a resident of Friendship Village for several years and is quite involved in many
interesting activities, from taking on roles in various plays produced and performed here
(and at times, elsewhere), to taking on a leadership role as president of our Residents'
Association.
Over the past year or so, however,
Lillian has focused a lot of her attention on digital photography. Not only does she
thoroughly enjoy working with it, she has become quite an accomplished photographer.
Three of her works of art appear below. |

Dr. George Barlow,
who, along with his wife, Marilyn, has been a Friendship Village of Dublin resident since
1998, has written a book chronicling the teaching of the natural sciences at Heidelberg
College in Tiffin, Ohio where he is professor emeritus of biology.
Talk about active!
George not only had to gather information and photographs for the book, he also had
to do the layout for the book on his home computer.
"There were
days I wasn't sure I'd survive the frustrations of trying to work photographs in between
paragraphs of text," George said, referring to the unpredictable nature of computer
programs.
"I really
learned a lot, though, through this project. I even took a few classes on taking and
editing digital photographs which were very stimulating and useful."
Take a look at the
following article about George and the book, which appeared in the Heidelberg College
alumni magazine.
