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 />

Is this the year to make a move?<br />

Historic hats ... and a red dress<br />

› An exhibit of 18 men’s formal hats from the Historical Society’s collection –<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 />

times. Two miniature hat models –salesmen’s samples – will also be on display.<br />

undiagnosed and littleunderstood<br />

condition<br />

particularly vulnerable:<br />

arrhythmogenic<br />

assistant men’s soccer<br />

coach at Hobart College.<br />

memory supports<br />
