How well do you handle<br />
the sight of blood, the prospect<br />
of getting jabbed, and similar<br />
invasive procedures?<br />
KAY PETERS of<br />
Sewell became a<br />
registered nurse in<br />
1958 – she’s seen<br />
it all. “I was always<br />
interested in how<br />
the body works and<br />
how it responds<br />
to interventions,”<br />
she says. “I never<br />
had a problem<br />
watching surgeries.<br />
In fact, I found them<br />
fascinating.”<br />
“I don’t mind getting<br />
stuck, but I couldn’t<br />
stick you,” says<br />
MATT DOBOS of<br />
Delran. “Blood in a<br />
vial doesn’t bother<br />
me, but pouring out<br />
of a body? That’s<br />
a different matter<br />
altogether.”<br />
<strong>Haddonfield</strong>’s<br />
LAUREN ZONIES<br />
has a brother who<br />
was “afraid of blood<br />
and bodily injuries.<br />
So I played the role<br />
of the big sister and<br />
helped him get over<br />
it.” And as a mom?<br />
“No sweat!”<br />
“Since I’m a mom,<br />
I’m a pro when it<br />
comes to blood and<br />
bodily fluids,” says<br />
CONNIE BALIS of<br />
Mullica Hill.<br />
“Also, I’ve had<br />
multiple surgeries,<br />
so I’m used to blood<br />
draws and jabs.”<br />
LEE PETERS of<br />
Sewell is a fan of<br />
horror films. “The<br />
gorier, the better,”<br />
he says. “Well, in the<br />
movies anyway. I‘m<br />
not a squeamish<br />
person, but seeing<br />
someone lying in a<br />
pool of blood in real<br />
life would probably<br />
turn my stomach.”<br />
“It depends whose<br />
blood it is,” says<br />
ROBBIN MULLIN of<br />
Cherry Hill. “When I<br />
have a blood draw,<br />
I don’t like to look.<br />
But I’m perfectly<br />
fine with getting<br />
vaccinations.”

Twain returns<br />
› “It could probably be shown by facts and figures<br />
that there is no distinctly native American criminal<br />
class except Congress.”<br />
Mark Twain’s pithy observations on life are as<br />
spot-on today as they were when he first expressed<br />
them. Now Twain is back, to apply laughter’s<br />
healing balm liberally, extravagantly, immoderately,<br />
and with little regard for the delicacies of today’s<br />
political atmosphere!<br />
Join him for a good laugh in the Grace Church<br />
auditorium at 7pm on Fri Jan 26 or 2pm on Sat Jan<br />
27. A $10 donation to the <strong>Haddonfield</strong> Educational<br />
Trust will secure a seat and be matched.<br />
Dogs to the rescue<br />
› The Haddon Fortnightly Evening Membership<br />
Department invites all interested members of the<br />

Tri-State Canine Response Team.<br />
The Cherry Hill-based nonprofit provides trained<br />
and certified handler/dog teams for animal-assisted<br />
activities, therapy, and crisis response situations.<br />
A team of 50 dogs and 60 handlers has touched<br />
the lives of more than 167,000 people over the past<br />
decade.<br />
The meeting will be at the Haddon Fortnightly<br />
Clubhouse (Kings Hwy E at Grove) on Tue Feb 13 at<br />
7:30pm. Refreshments will follow the meeting.<br />

Historic hats ... and a red dress<br />
› An exhibit of 18 men’s formal hats from the Historical Society’s collection –<br />
mounted in November then removed temporarily during the Holiday season –<br />

Tilbury, straw boater and fedora. Top hats worn by former NJ Governor Alfred<br />
E. Driscoll and his father, Alfred R. Driscoll, and the derby worn by Eugene<br />
Kain when he directed funerals in <strong>Haddonfield</strong> give a sense of the dignity of the<br />
times. Two miniature hat models –salesmen’s samples – will also be on display.<br />
The exhibit also includes the iconic red dress that former mayor Tish<br />
Colombi wore for <strong>Haddonfield</strong>’s Independence Day parades during most of her<br />

A 1999 HMHS grad and<br />
soccer standout, Brad<br />
died in 2006 of sudden<br />
cardiac arrest due to an<br />
undiagnosed and littleunderstood<br />
condition<br />
to which teenagers<br />
and young adults are<br />
particularly vulnerable:<br />
arrhythmogenic<br />
right ventricular<br />
cardiomyopathy (ARVC).<br />
Aged 25, Brad was the<br />
assistant men’s soccer<br />
coach at Hobart College.<br />
The foundation<br />
created in Brad’s<br />
memory supports<br />
local communities by<br />
providing scholarship<br />
funds for graduating<br />
high school seniors,<br />
promoting awareness<br />
of ARVC and other<br />
cardiac conditions, and<br />
purchasing publicly<br />
