Volume 8 Number2 MarchlApril 1991Florida's Finest Resident-Owned Retirement Community

Charles Jacobson New HRCA President"We chose Hawthorne because it is a cooperative,"smiles our newly elected HRCA President Charles L."Jake" Jacobson, resident since 1984. "We've beenvery happy here."

He gives credit to the Air Stream travel trailer clubfor introducing him and his wife, Dorothy, toHawthorne. They Air Streamed the United States andCanada, staying in Air Stream parks, after he retired asSuperintendent of Schools in Jamestown, New York in1979 (and as a Major in U.S. Infantry). He played violinand clarinet at their international rallies. They touredHawthorne with a group from a Central Florida AirStream park. Later, they returned to buy. Dorothy'sparents, George and Luella Post, were also AirStreamers and also bought a home here!

The Jacobsons were first interested in Sun City,but noted unrest there because homeowners ownedtheir land, but an outside company owned andoperated the recreational sections of the park.

Interest in their four children and their familieskeep Charles and Dorothy Jacobson busy travellnq:Attorney Martin In Manhattan, Auditor Charles inConnecticut, College Administrator Peggy in Seattleand Music Teacher James at University of Minnesota.

"Jake" Jacobson has thrown himself with vigorinto Hawthorne activities. He has been active in Tax-Aide Program and Investor's Club and on the AARPBoard of Directors. He has chaired our Concert Series,Chaired the New York State Club, played in the StringEnsemble, played with the Men's Golf group, Dancedin Round Dancing and on Saturday Nights. All this,despite replacement of both knees, one five years agoand one three years ago!

"I'd like to resolve what I call some of the 'danglingparticiples' that are already on the books," says newHRCA President Jacobson, as he leafs through hisworking notebook. We've already made arrangementsto remove - for free - about 22 truckloads of that huge

pile of dirt near our entrance. And we are working onmoving more. We plan to build a masonry fence alongour lot line side front. We need to arrange forrestrooms for the gardening and tennis area. We'd liketo incorporate a bicycle path. We'd like to install anexercise room. We need to improve the sound in theclubhouse. We have the potential of 20 lots forbuilding new homes in the former sewage treatmentarea, but we have to have 100 percent approval forthat. And, I would like to advance a frequent publica-tion that will communicate and enhance ourHawthorne experiences."

Three cheers for our vigorous new leader!Rosalind MacRae Sykes

Your Program OfficeWell, we made it through one more issue of the

Hawthorne Herald, the first without an Editor. Verna,with a lot of help from all of the staff and many others,put this one together, giving a little more time todecide just what kind of publication will be forthcom-ing. We will miss you Verna, and thank you for yourmany years of service.

*******As I sit here, I see strangers walking around the

Clubhouse. Many residents have family visiting and Isee a lot of strange faces and bodies headed for thepool to enjoy the last rays of sunshine for the day.

Now that Easter is over many people will beheaded North for the summer. Things will start to getquiet around here. Actually April is the last busymonth for awhile.

We hope to close down for a whole week in thesummer to get the Clubhouse nice and clean. Our ideais to strip every floor and do them over. As well as todo some painting. It might be quiet but we will be busygetting ready for the crowds to return. Many of ouractivities will keep on going but some of them do quitfor the summer.

*******For those that don't already know it, we now have a

copy machine in the Program Office for activity use aswell as for personal use. Copying will be done onlyfrom 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Materials run for activitieswill be free of charge and personal items are $.10 acopy.

*******I am sitting here eating a treat that the Kitchen

Club brought to me and enjoying every bite of it. Youwill get your chance to eat one ofthem because it is asample of what they are going to make for theCommunity Wide Program Conference. I am alsothinking about all the other activities and events thatwill be going on in the Clubhouse.

*******Our Show 'n' Tell & Hobbies show will be held on

Sunday the21 st and the Spri ng Chorus Concert will beheld on Sunday, the 28th.

So you see, April will be a busy month but thenwhen all the hustle and bustle dies down, a lot of ourresidents will be heading North to spend the summer. Ialways hate to see them leave.

The past few months have been hectic and tryingto schedule all the activities can be a problem. We've

added a few new activities to our calendar and itseems more people are getting involved. If you are aNewcomer, I hope that you are seriously thinkingabout joining one or more of our activities, if youhaven't already done so that is. Quite a few of theactivities disband forthe summer but there will still beenough going on for you to keep busy. And, we love tosee new faces get involved.

*******Your Program Office wants you make you feel as at

home as possible as well as to lend a hand wheneverwe can. So stop in to say hello. Especially now whenthings get quiet -- it is nice to see a friendly face.

The EqualizerI dreamed death came the other nightAnd heaven's gates swung wide,With kindly grace an Angel cameAnd ushered me inside.And there to my astonishmentStood folks I'd known on earth;Some I'd judged and labeledAs "unfit" and "little worth".Indignant words rose to my lips,But never were set free,For every face showed stunned surprise -No one expected me.

An Old Man's MusicIt was late and very dark

And I was walking aloneDown the shadowy, country road

When I heard a muted moan.It suddenly changed from a sad lament

To a dancing joyous sound!Wilder, louder, faster it grew,

Filling the air aroundWith a happiness and gladness,

With laughter gay and lightThat magically turned into fairyland

The common sleeping night.There seemed to shower about me

Like twenty million starsSparkling lights that danced about

As though they came from Mars!

One by one they disappeared,And slowly in their place,

Waltzed twenty million moonbeamsDancing there with grace.

Now the air was filledWith music sweet and low,

Like that to which gay couples dancedA hundred years ago.

Then the moonbeams faded;The music faded too.

I was standing in the roadNot knowing what to do.

I raised my eyes to a window above:I saw in the lighted square

A little old man with shoulders bent,With silvery lights in his hair.

He was almost asleep;His eyes were closed.

He was smiling a little,Soon he dozed.

I noticed a fiddle lay there beside him,Battered, broken and old.

The old man's music! Could that have turnedA dull dreary night to gold?

Winifred Wolcott Hosking (1943)

The HeraldMy earliest recollectionSoon after I was bornWas the crowing of the roosterTo Herald a new dawn!

In the years that followedI continually heard his cryAlways early in the morningHe would crow or die!

In the dark days of the war,After night attackCome the dawn, he'd still be crowingAs if saying, I am back!

A grisly thought just crossed my mind,An atomic war, the end of timeAnd upon that final dawn.I'll bet there'll be a rooster thereCrowing, just to mourn!

George McGill

WHAT IS WONDER?Wonder is a word of mood -It is the wide-eyed gaze of childhoodSeeing for the first timeMysteries of leaf and flower -Of birds and stars and fireflies' glow ...

Wonder is a word of love"The warmth of kisses and of hugs -Of caring words and kindly acts -Of friendships ties and family roots ...

Ruth J. Campbell

Man's 4th DimensionThere is an order on this earth

That dwells in each man's soul!Though haughty, cynical and cruel

Man knows this inner Force must rule!If he denies it and acumen

As nonexistentThen his human side takes over every whim

And depression rushes in!Let the Divine that's in you

Overtake your life ... consume you!You'll find God the Spirit and the Son

Will lead you to the only OneTo bring you peace of mind.

Savants readily agreeMan can't solve the mysteryOf life and its emencities.

Only He who made you knows!There's the answer!

Why He rose from death to claim youFor His own!

It's so simple, that it's rarely known!Mary L. Watt

Hawthorne Art Club Visits Harn Art Museum

Jean DubuffetCourse /a Ga/ope

Silkscreen 21 1116"x 30"Gift of Richard Anuszkiewicz

The Harn Museum of Art opened to the public in 1990,providing up-to-date facilities for the exhibition, study,and preservation of works of art. Situated on theUniversity of Florida's campus, the HarnSimultaneously endeavors to fill the importantresearch and educational missions of a universitymuseum and to reach beyond its academic setting toattract and serve a broad public audience.

The Art Club went to Gainesville in November via aCelestial Travel bus. The Art Chairman, RichardTanner, counted noses. Then we took off promptly at8:30 a.m. Our first stop was the Harn Museum, acontemporary building situated on the University ofFlorida campus.

The Harn Art Museum serves the University inmany ways. It offers lectures, tours, workshops andmovies to explain current exhibits. The Museum givesfree admission to the public including children. Its aimis to develop a life long appreciation of art and culture.

On this day, we enjoyed the spacious, uncrowdedbuilding. It had been opened just a few weeks, butalready a multitude of paintings and art works were inplace. The first astonishing piece of art which we sawafter we entered was: "The Red Dragon" by AlexanderCalder, noted for his mobiles. The dragon is of steel,polychrome 17 feet high. It does justice to his "joyful,witty abstracts." The Dragon prepared us for the 20thCentury artists on display within called "Color in Art."

It seems that Impressionist Artists, and FrenchFauvists restricted their art to the natural appearanceof things. Now American artists are very innovativewith color. We enjoyed: "Cherokee Plains," a riot ofcolor by Wafford; "A Green Field," which waspainted on aluminum by Sugarman; Nancy Grave's"Association in Consequence," a strange (to us) workof anodized aluminum 52 by 54 inches, and"Translumina IV," in four columns of fluted wood.

Fifty-three American paintings are on permanentdisplay.

We viewed, "A Golden Age of Painting" by famousartists from the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centurieswhich are always inspiring. In the collection are suchworks as: "The Adoration of Kings," by Peter Brueghel;"The MystiC Marriage of St. Catherine," by Peter PaulRubens. The babies in his paintings seem to glow withlife. According to a guide, Religious themes changedto those focused on the daily life of the Dutch andFlemish people. "The Merry Company," by Hals is anexample.

Other exhibits are: "A Distant View," and otherFlorida paintings by Herzog. He painted scenes nearGainesville using oils on canvas. We like his, "OnAlachua Lake (Girls in a Rowboat), and "Scene onSnake Key, Gulf Coast."

Art of West Africa represents 20 distinct WestAfrican ethnic groups. They are sculptures whichshow the rich variety of West African art. Icons andImages of Sub-Sahara including masked dancerfigures with a raffia and cloth costume arefascinating.

"Contemporary Latin American Paintings," is anextensive exhibition featuring artists from Central andSouth America. They also feature Singers, andCaribbean/Latin music/dance performances.

The Harn Museum is a wonderful place filled withso many treasures that we could have packed a bagfor an extended visit in order to see everything. In-stead, we went on to a companionable lunch at BobEvans enjoyed by all.

Then we visited The Florida State Museum ofNatural History on Museum Road, University ofFlorida. We were greeted by the terrifying roars ofprehistoric dinosaurs from a movie which was beingshown continuously. These huge reptiles ruled theearth for 160 million years!

The exhibit is called DINO-MANIA. It has roboticdinosaurs of Stegosaurus, Triceratops,Pachycephalosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus rex, andmany other "terrible lizards."

A Fossil Study Center allows visitors to exploreFlorida's prehistoric past through exhibits, computergames, and "participatory activities." Some of thefossils show: a footprint of a small dinosaur, a sea starpreserved in sandstone, and a rattlesnake skeletoncovered with calcite, to cite just a few. This too, is afascinating place.

We left Gainesville with regret, exhilarated, tiredand happy over a day weI! spent with The HawthorneArt Club.

YEA! Pennsylvania!Pennsylvanians have the right to be very proud of theirhome state. It has a lot to offer in beautiful scenery:two vast mountain ranges with verdant woodlands andvalleys below. Rich farmlands support cattle grazingand truckgardens. Under the surface, this state hoardsa treasure of coal, oil, and minerals. AlsoPennsylvania was a pivotal state in our United Stateshistory.

William Penn's father was given possession of theterritory as payment of a debt by the king. Williamnamed the colony Sylvania, meaning woods. (Hisname was later added against his wishes.) Havingsuffered religious persecution himself as a Quaker, hewas determined to make Pennsylvania a haven tothose of different faiths and nationalities. Happily, heachieved this goal: German, Dutch, English, Welsh,Scotch and Irish peoples settled here, coexisting inharmony. Indians were treated with fairness and kind-ness as were runaway slaves.

The colony flourished. Manufacturing centers andcultural programs drew new residents. Railways andhighways were built in the valleys crossing the land.

The important city of Philadelphia, plotted by Pennas was Pittsburgh, hosted the first and secondContinental Congress in 1774 and 1775-81, and wasthe site of the signing of the Declaration ofIndependence. It was also the seat of the new FederalGovernment from 1790 to 1800. And, here resides thegreat Liberty Bell!

A special treat is to see again the prize-winningmovie "Witness" starring Harrison Ford, with camerascapturing the true beauty of the Amish countryside,and their restrained way of life. (It's a thriller, too!)

The Pennsylvania Club President, Bill Mertz,invites all Hawthorne Pennsylvanians to attend theircongenial get-togethers. The next dinner will beBelgium waffles, scheduled tentatively for March 7.Bill also related two customs from his home city ofBethlehem: Each summer there is an extended Ethniccelebration where the various nationalities dress incostume, serve special dishes from their old worldhomelands, and entertain with dancing and music.Nicest of all was his description of the city ofBethlehem placing five-foot Christmas trees acrossthe city so their white lights form a giant star fromabove! What a lovely tradition to remember!

I just can't get used to it being warm when it should becold. Whenever someone said something aboutChristmas I was always taken by surprise because Iwas still waiting for the cold weather to hit. Don'tmisunderstand me, I would much rather have thisweather than what I used to have during the wintermonths. Whenever I am talking to one of my boys up inthe North Country I have to rub it in just a little abouthow nice it is here.

The Holidays are over and everyone is wondering whatthey will do with themselves. But, looking over thelong range calendar there will be plenty to do in themonths ahead.

Valentine's Day will be celebrated with a Valentine'sBall on Sunday, the 10th of February. Of course the bigevent for the month of February is our Vod-Vil perfor-mance which will be held two nights for yourenjoyment. Monday the 18th and Tuesday, the 19th ofFebruary are two days you should definitely havemarked on your calendar.

On Tuesday, February 26 the Lake County SheriffsDepartment is coming to Hawthorne and will meetwith the residents in the Great Hall at 7:00 p.m. todiscuss problems of our community. This issomething you will probably not want to miss.

During the holiday season the Clubhouse was a verybusy place. Lots of special holiday programs, partiesand just good ole holiday fellowship. It was anenjoyable time for all. Pretty soon it will be time for alot of our residents to head North and once again theClubhouse will be quiet. I prefer the busy times of theyear myself.

I was invited to attend the AARP Nursinq HomeLuncheon on Tuesday, December 11. As I was sittingthere looking over the crowd I thought about howlucky we are to have the volunteers that we have andhow much they have done for people in the past.Everyone seems to lend a helping hand when it isneeded and there are so many things that wouldn't beif it weren't for the many people that volunteer theirtime. The Holidays are a time for sharing but here atHawthorne it seems that the sharing is forever.

1990 brought a lot of new people to Hawthorne as wellas a few new activities. Not to mention our newfurniture for the TV-4 set. Gene Kastner started a Pitchand Putt League which got off to a good start andSonny Starks started a VFW Post here at Hawthorne.We hope to see many new residents get involved in ourpresent activity program as well as introduce newideas and activities.

Winter in HawthorneWe think our family like itThat we winter in this clime.We had our frosty wintersWhen we were in our prime.

We shoveled tons of snow banks,We pushed cars to the road.We loved to go out coasting,When the sleds had heavy loads.

We were fairly good at skiing,We'd take tough down hill runs.We sometimes took a tumbleAnd fell upon our buns.

But a tumble then meant nothing,For our bruises quickly healed.Now a fall can be so seriousTo the doctor we'd be wheeled.

So we came here to the Southland,Where the weather is more mild.We soak up lots of sunshineAnd can play more, like a child.

Yes, we do have lots of free time,For our daily work is o'er;But the chores of daily livingKeep boredom from our door.

They tie us to the work world,With just enough to do:Get some meals, keep the lawn up;Gardening is healthy, too.

The house too, needs attentionTo keep it shining clean.An hour or two of houseworkHelps keep our bodies lean.

Then we plan for recreation.There are many things to chooseFrom the hundred or more projects;Or we can always snooze!

But our conscience says,"Keep busy".That is always the best way.So we invite friends and familyTo come and have a stay.

We love them all so dearly.It is great to have them near.They do enjoy the sunshineWhen their winters become drear.

It is good to see the "young ones."Though some are middle age.We remember them as children -New their children are so sage!

The years have gone so quickly.We must enjoy each day,And appreciate what's lovely,For none of us will stay.

We do cherish all our dear ones:They are charming and beloved.They learn from us, and we from them.The bonds will not be moved.

So we try to catch each rainbowAs it shines upon our days.There is beauty, love and humor,If we but hold their rays.

The

Poet's World...Young Love

Wind blew clouds my wayClouds, dark gray, dark blue.Wind blew the clouds awayAnd left the sky blue too.

Wind blew love my wayLove, so sweet, so fai r.Wind blew my love away,But what do I care?'Twas all hot airAnd the sky's still there!

Jean R. Weston

The WindThe wind hums along in the springTeasing birds for their melodies,As they return from distant flightsWith answering waves of new rhapsodies.

It sighs, it moans and cajoles'Til the birds come to practice each call -Looking for mates and green leafy treesSinging symphonies - all to enthrall.

The rustling wind is restlessLuring birds to stay and nestThey roost and mate - in rites of springLulling the wind to rest.

Anna K. Merlino

The Good WifeWhen doctors said that all good wivesShould help protect their husband's livesShe vowed that she would do her bestTo give his heart a lot of rest.

She shoveled snow till she turned blueShe raked and hoed and weeded too,Then pruned the trees and gathered leavesShe even painted spouts and eaves.

He dozed beneath the willow treeWhile she developed housemaid's kneeAnd when he knew his heart was wellHe gave it to her friend Estelle.

Violet and Ralph Osman seated at the organ in their home onDogwood Trail. Ralph is holding one of his beautiful roses.(Dar Sykes photo)

Ralph and Violet Osman live at 131 Dogwood Trailwhere you can se some of the most beautiful andunusual roses in these parts. Ralph will quickly tellyou he is an expert on growing roses and has the proofgrowing allover his yard.

Violet's love of life is in playing the organ and wewill get to more of that story, too.

Ralph was born on May 31, 1910 in Reading, Pa.Violet entered this life in Nessodeck, Pa. on February21,1908 and she and Ralph were married on June 18,1932 and will celebrate their 59th wedding anniversarythis year.

The Osmans have two girls. Mae Jensen who livesin Charlotte, N.C. and Dorothy Burrows who istemporarily living in Leece, Italy.

Ralph retired from Merritt LumberYard in Reading,Pa., fifteen years ago at age 65. He did some big andsmall game hunting in Pennsylvania and they traveledsome and went fishing lots to get used to being retired- trying to do nothing. They moved to Hawthorne firstin 1983. Some seven years ago the Osmans moved toWelaka, Fl., and through their landlord there, they metthe Brechlers from the city of Hawthorne, which is upin the northeast of Florida. The Brechlers have a hugehome but love to travel and they talked the Osmansinto house-sitting for them on one of their trips and ithas become a regular job for them. The trips last fromone week to 3 or 4 months and the Osmans' jobs are tofeed the cats and dog and oversee the work done bythe caretaker, housekeeper, etc. And, of course,routing and rerouting mail and calls. The Osmans loveliving in the luxurious home and you can imagine whata wonderful arrangement it is for their employer.

Back here in Hawthorne, Ralph grows roses andwhat beauties they are! He knows them by name,

where they originated and can talk about roses by thehour.

Now, as promised, more about Violet and hermusic. She learned to play the organ when she was 13years old and played for churches, weddings, etc. allof her life. But her greatest thrill came recently whenshe played the Calvary Grand Organ in the CalvaryChurch in Charlotte, N.C. It is the 13th largest playablepipe organ in the world. The Osmans' daughter, MaeJensen lives in Charlotte and is a very active memberof the New Calvary Church and was able to get permis-sion for her mother to play this beautiful organ whichViolet says was indeed "her greatest moment."

The Calvary Grand OrganCalvary Church ...Charlotte, North Carolina

The new pipe organ at Calvary Church is interna-tionally known as one of "the" organs of the century.Built in 1986-1990 by the Moller Organ Company ofHagerstown, Maryland, the Calvary Grand Organ is the

- -1-3thlar-Q8st-playablepipe organ in the world, and isvalued at 2.5 million dollars.

Carefully planned and deslqned for the congrega-tion, the new 205 rank organ has 11,499 pipes rangingin size from 40 feet tall to hundreds of tiny pipessmaller than soda straws. Our spacious 6000 seatsanctuaryaas 2.5 million cubic feet of airspace andexcellent acoustics of a reverberation time just under 3seconds .. This organ is a grand concert instrumentthat can play virtually any composltlon ever written forthe organ.

To command all the resources of this instrumentrequires the massive console - five keyboards andpedalb:/J'G!-rd,306 drawknobs, and around 200 othercontrols, To the layman, the magnitude of the organconsoje may resemble the cockpit of an airplane orspace shuttle with the array of stops, buttons, dials,lights, footpedals, knobs, and switches. However, tothe organist, each device has a specific function tocontrol the thousands of pipes. This handcrafted Hon-duras mahogany console is the largest American-made drawknob console.

The delightful Pink Penthers were not only pretty but their dance was clever as they twirled their long pink tails. (Frank Ma,rantook ?il of the photos on HJlspage) .'. .' '".J , '
