Question: What personal trait about you do you think is most important? Anser: “My faith. God is always there to help me. I’ve been a Catholic all my life and I’ve always been very faithful.

Question: How did you get started with sports growing up? Answer: “Early on I played a lot of baseball and tennis. Growing up I played on two baseball teams since we didn’t have baseball through the school. From there I just kind of hung in there with sports. I watch sports as much as I can now. Having played, I enjoy watching it because I sit and think, ‘It would’ve been nice to continue on playing later down the line.’ One spring in 1948, we were down playing at the […]

Question: How would you describe yourself and why? Answer: “I like to think I’m a friendly person. My mother yelled a lot when I was growing up and my dad worked six days a week, so he wasn’t around much. Because of that, I have always had a strong desire to be different than how I was brought up. My friends had families that would go and do things and I always have had a desire and wanted that also. I’m a social person. I like to talk to people […]

Question: What kind of stories or books do you like? Answer: “I love Danielle Steel’s books. She is the best writer. I have read every one of her books. She keeps you in suspense. I just love it. She just has you. And they’re not too racy. I like the romance part of it, but I like it clean.” – Jean Glovanovitz, resident Friendship Village Sunset Hills #WeAreFriendshipVillage #seniorliving #retirementcommunity #assistedliving #independentliving #fvathome #homehealth The above photo and text are part of a year-long project we call We Are Friendship […]

Johnson, 80, of Sunset Hills, said he and his wife, Florence Rebecca “Becky” Johnson were high school sweethearts who moved to Jefferson County in 1980. Johnson ran several businesses in the county over […]

Question: What do you think made you love arts and crafts? Answer: “I love paper. I’ve enjoyed crafts since I was young, and I always had an endless supply of paper that my dad would bring home from work. It’s a way for me to express myself and it’s fun! It’s also rewarding to make something personalized for someone else. I like to make crafts, cards, and boxes to put treats in and share. I’ve taught some classes here and people have enjoyed them. It involves folding, cutting, pasting, creating […]
