Art & Sarah Ludwick:<br />
Building life around love<br />
for family and the community<br />
by Heidi Ludwick Hanson<br />
W<br />
hen I first heard about the Arthur and Sarah<br />
Ludwick Emergency Care Pavilion, I thought what<br />
an appropriate tribute to two people who have<br />
likely positively affected the lives of everyone in Glendora.<br />
We are blessed in Glendora to have many citizens who<br />
give generously to our community, but my parents are<br />
certainly at the top of the list having given so much of<br />
their time and money over the years to education, health,<br />
recreation, child care, and sports in our community.<br />
My parents came from different backgrounds, but were<br />
raised with many of the same values (such as the<br />
importance of hard work, family, and serving the<br />
community). Dad spent most of his childhood moving<br />
around the state as work became available for his father<br />
at the local lumber yards. Mom spent her childhood in<br />
Glendora with her parents who both worked full-time as<br />
entrepreneurs building a local sprinkler manufacturing<br />
business – Rain Bird.<br />
The two were first introduced through my uncle when dad<br />
and Uncle Tony attended college together at Stanford<br />
University. But dad and mom did not date until several<br />
years later, when mom was in college and dad had<br />
relocated to Glendora to work with Uncle Tony for Rain<br />
Bird. The two were married in 1965 shortly after mom<br />
graduated from Scripps College. Over<br />
the next five years, mom and dad<br />
expanded the family with the birth of<br />
my sister Sharon, brother Erik, and me.<br />
Growing up a Ludwick meant spending<br />
a great deal of time by my parents’ side<br />
providing community service. I<br />
remember many Saturdays at Bidwell<br />
School helping my parents load trucks<br />
full of newspapers during the PTA’s<br />
newspaper drive, or helping keep tables<br />
organized during the school book fair.<br />
We also used to hang out doing our<br />
homework in the afternoons and<br />
occasional evenings at the YWCA offices<br />
(now the Chamber of Commerce) while<br />
my mom attended meetings. During the<br />
<strong>summer</strong>, my mom would take us down<br />
to Foothill Presbyterian Hospital and<br />
have us hang out in the cafeteria while<br />
she helped prepare meals for Meals on<br />
Wheels, or we would head down to the<br />
Legion Hall to visit and play games with<br />
the stroke survivors at the Organization<br />
for After-Stroke Rehabilitation events.<br />
We would also be recruited to help my<br />
mom with vacation bible school, either<br />
preparing crafts for her classes, cooking<br />
snacks, or serving as an extra set of<br />
hands in the classroom.<br />
Dad spent his free time coaching sports.<br />
Although all of us participated in several<br />
sports, Erik was fortunate enough to<br />
have dad coach him in both baseball<br />
and soccer. But, my dad’s coaching days<br />
started well before any of us were born.<br />
As a little girl, I remember the Fuller<br />
brush salesman coming by our house a<br />
couple times each year and telling us<br />
how much he enjoyed having my dad as<br />
a coach when he played baseball. My<br />
dad really enjoyed helping the kids to<br />
learn the sports, improve their skills,<br />
and experience the fun of competition,<br />
and he definitely spread his enthusiasm<br />
to all the kids he coached in Glendora.<br />
What I remember most fondly of our<br />
family time in community service were<br />
the years in high school when all of us<br />
were in Key Club. My dad served as our<br />
Kiwanis advisor and my mom<br />
generously let us have our weekly club<br />
ART & SARAH LUDWICK �<br />
www.foothillfoundation.org SUMMER/FALL <strong>2007</strong> 3
� ART & SARAH LUDWICK<br />
meetings at the house. Keep in mind that our club had more<br />
than 50 members, so our family room was packed with<br />
teenage kids. I can’t count the number of times we took over<br />
the family room and patio, painting posters for all of the Key<br />
Club events. My mom never got mad when we spilled paint<br />
on her rug (that happened quite a few times). My parents<br />
were by our side at all the activities, conventions, and service<br />
projects we held, helping make the club a success.<br />
But my parents supported more than just our activities in<br />
school. Mom was very active in the anti-smoking program and<br />
DARE. She also worked in the career center helping students<br />
find colleges or career options. My mom was always around<br />
school, and all of our friends and teachers knew her. She<br />
knew that all of her volunteering would give her a chance to<br />
keep an eye on us, and we all made sure not to do anything<br />
to get us into trouble because she would find out about it.<br />
Education was very important to my parents. They always<br />
took time to help us out with our homework, and my mom<br />
made it a priority to proofread every paper we wrote<br />
throughout school. But my parents always looked to ways to<br />
improve our education and prepare us for future technologies.<br />
During junior high, I attended a <strong>summer</strong> school class on<br />
BASIC computer programming that my dad had established<br />
at <strong>Citrus</strong> College. At the time, <strong>Citrus</strong> was the only school in<br />
the Glendora area with computers and, for most of us, it was<br />
the first time we had worked on a computer.<br />
Computers continued to be absent from our school<br />
curriculum, and I only remember two classrooms throughout<br />
my high school years that had computers. My parents<br />
understood that Glendora’s students needed computer<br />
education to prepare them for college and future careers.<br />
They continued to advocate the importance of computers in<br />
the classroom for more than a decade after we graduated<br />
from Glendora Unified School District. Their success is<br />
apparent today as you wander through the schools and find<br />
computers available to students in the classrooms and<br />
libraries, and included in the schools’ curriculum.<br />
Back in the early 1980s, my dad – through Rain Bird – worked<br />
with the City of Glendora to create a <strong>summer</strong> concert series in<br />
the park. During the first few years, the performers sat up on<br />
a stage the city constructed before each event. Of course, the<br />
first few years the bands were for the most part concert<br />
bands and always played a rendition of “Stars and Stripes<br />
Forever” (much to my dad’s delight). The concerts proved to<br />
be a success and, to this day, continue to be a part of<br />
Glendora’s <strong>summer</strong> culture.<br />
When we were all out of the house, my mom decided to go<br />
back to college and get a master’s degree in child<br />
development. She had always had a dream of running her<br />
own child care center, and was fortunate to find that the<br />
University of La Verne had a child care center in conjunction<br />
with Fairplex. She began volunteering her time at the center.<br />
4<br />
Art & Sarah Ludwick<br />
My mom helped develop an annual auction for the Fairplex<br />
Child Development Center that, today, continues to raise<br />
more than $150,000 each year toward their operating budget.<br />
She also spent several years on the Center’s board of<br />
directors, helping establish it as one of the premier child care<br />
centers in our area.<br />
In more recent<br />
years, my dad has<br />
joined the Fairplex<br />
Board of Directors.<br />
In the last few<br />
years, the Fairplex<br />
foundations have<br />
developed a<br />
program called the<br />
Yellow Bus<br />
Program. My dad<br />
has worked with<br />
many generous<br />
contributors in<br />
Glendora to raise<br />
funds for buses<br />
that take Glendora<br />
school children to<br />
Sarah and Art Ludwick take an evening joy<br />
the fair during the<br />
ride in their fun car to the 2006 Morris L.<br />
school day to<br />
Johnston, M.D. reception.<br />
experience all of<br />
the Fair’s learning opportunities. The program is a big success<br />
with the kids and continues to grow each year.<br />
My mom is currently on the boards of directors for the<br />
University Educational Trust and Partners in Education at Cal<br />
Poly University, Pomona – both of which provide student<br />
scholarships and promote the advancement of education.<br />
I really admire my parents for the endless hours they have<br />
devoted to our community, despite the challenges they have<br />
faced. My mom was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid<br />
arthritis when she was in her early 30s, and continues to<br />
suffer from it today. I remember many days when my mom<br />
could not get out of bed to drive us to school in the morning<br />
because she was in such severe pain. But I never remember<br />
my mom missing a commitment she had made, and I’m<br />
certain she hurt a great deal during many of her volunteer<br />
hours. She just never let anyone know that she wasn’t feeling<br />
great that day. To this day, my mom continues to commit to<br />
projects for Kiwaniannes, Fairplex CDC, the YWCA, and other<br />
organizations that are physically demanding. She’ll always get<br />
through the day with a smile, and rarely listens to anyone<br />
who tells her to sit down – even for a minute – given there is<br />
always work to be done.<br />
My parents have been part of, or lead, many other groups<br />
through the years, including Kiwanis, <strong>Citrus</strong> College<br />

HEALTHWISE FOOTHILL PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL
The Arthur and Sarah Ludwick<br />
Emergency Care Pavilion:<br />
Bringing enhanced and efficient emergency care<br />
to Glendora and beyond by Joan McBride<br />
Did you know that more than 100 million<br />
Americans – about one in every three of us – visit<br />
a hospital emergency room each year? During the<br />
next 12 months, there’s a great likelihood that you or<br />
someone close to you will seek urgent care in one of our<br />
nation’s emergency rooms.<br />
Yet the emergency care experience is nearly always<br />
fraught with stress and delays. Interminable waits in the<br />
lobby. Sitting around while your lab work is processed.<br />
Waiting, waiting, waiting while wondering about the<br />
status of your health.<br />
Fortunately, Foothill Presbyterian Hospital is doing its part<br />
to change the typical emergency room experience.<br />
During the past five years, the local community has<br />
invested more than $14 million in FPH’s new emergency<br />
department. That new facility, the Arthur and Sarah<br />
Ludwick Emergency Care Pavilion, is scheduled to open<br />
its doors in October. And, as you’ll see, it will provide the<br />
latest in emergency department technology for the<br />
residents of our community.<br />
The Arthur and Sarah Ludwick<br />
Emergency Care Pavilion is an<br />
independent structure, allowing us to<br />
meet the State’s new seismic safety<br />
requirements. The differences between<br />
the new and old emergency department<br />
are immediately evident — the new<br />
facility has a separate ambulance<br />
entrance from the walk-in entrance.<br />
And there are 49 new parking spaces<br />
immediately adjacent to the new facility<br />
for convenient parking.<br />
Upon arrival, patients will wait in one<br />
of two waiting areas, as opposed to the<br />
current facility’s single waiting area.<br />
One area has a section especially for<br />
children. There is also an outdoor area<br />
adjacent to the waiting rooms to “catch<br />
a breath of fresh air.” Patients will be<br />
greeted and escorted to an emergency<br />
room bed as soon as possible after<br />
arrival, with triage and registration<br />
taking place at the bedside (currently,<br />
non-critical patients are not placed in<br />
an emergency room bed until after<br />
registration takes place).<br />
The open ceilings and high windows<br />
allow natural sunlight to enter the<br />
department – a refreshing change from<br />
the glare of fluorescent lighting. at<br />
night, light will be visible from the<br />
Pavilion, serving as a lantern or beacon<br />
to help patients find the emergency<br />
department with ease.<br />
EMERGENCY CARE PAVILION �<br />
www.foothillfoundation.org SUMMER/FALL <strong>2007</strong> 5
� EMERGENCY CARE PAVILION<br />
The new facility will more than double our capacity by<br />
providing beds for 23 emergency room patients, compared to<br />
the 11 spaces in our current facility. Included among these 23<br />
beds are six closed treatment rooms for patients that require<br />
a quieter environment, or for pediatric patients undergoing<br />
procedures.<br />
The Pavilion also features two isolation rooms for patients<br />
with highly contagious infections, such as SARS and<br />
tuberculosis. Use of the isolation rooms will also help keep<br />
fellow patients – and staff – safe from these infectious<br />
diseases.<br />
The specialty care room, which also has two beds, is for the<br />
highest acuity patients that require care from the entire<br />
health care team. This area has an alcove with all the<br />
equipment needed for more sophisticated procedures, such as<br />
inserting a chest tube or placing a patient on a ventilator.<br />
The remaining 13 emergency room beds (or treatment bays)<br />
will be used for a variety of emergency room cases. These<br />
rooms are not specialized, but a specialty cart brought to the<br />
bedside can turn any treatment bay into a specialized “room.”<br />
The new facility also features a physicians’ dictation and<br />
picture archiving and communications system (PACS) room.<br />

The Arthur and Sarah Ludwick Emergency Care Pavilion<br />
At A Glance: The Patient Flow System<br />
� Patient arrives in emergency department<br />
� Patient signs in, heads to waiting area<br />
� Patient assessed by triage nurse<br />
� Patient completes paperwork with registration staff;<br />
returns to waiting area<br />
� Patient is called to an emergency room bed<br />
� Patient is examined by physician<br />
� Test and lab work are completed<br />
� Physician informs patient of diagnosis/next steps<br />
� Patient is admitted to hospital, or discharged with<br />
appropriate instructions<br />
Admitting physicians will now have a private place to sit down<br />
and write orders. And our PACS will allow our physicians to<br />
view X-rays from the new emergency room’s computers,<br />
rather than waiting for film delivery from the radiology<br />
department.<br />
A “stat lab” located within the department will be used to<br />
process blood work. Results will be returned in half the time<br />
of the hospital laboratory.<br />
While the aesthetics and technical features of the new<br />
emergency department will provide each patient with<br />
enhanced medical care, the improved patient flow system<br />
introduced in the new center will provide a faster, more<br />
efficient and more comfortable experience for each<br />
emergency department patient.<br />
Of course, none of this would be possible without the<br />
thousands of donors who provided the majority of funding<br />
required to make this new facility a reality. Thanks to<br />
everyone who supported the Arthur and Sarah Ludwick<br />
Emergency Care Pavilion for investing in the health of your<br />
community. We applaud you!<br />

Build charitable giving into your<br />
estate plan<br />
M<br />
ost Americans who give to charity do so on an annual<br />
basis. However, some of the greatest opportunities to<br />
make significant charitable contributions occur just<br />
when one is making major business, personal and financial<br />
decisions. Some of the special circumstances in which<br />
“planned giving” can benefit both the community and the<br />
donor’s heirs include:<br />
� writing or revising a will or trust<br />
� contemplating the sale of a business or other<br />
major asset<br />
� planning for retirement<br />
� having received a financial wind<strong>fall</strong><br />
By Will or Living Trust<br />
A charitable bequest is one of the easiest ways to give a gift<br />
that will make a lasting difference in the lives of others. The<br />
savings in estate taxes resulting from a gift to the community<br />
foundation can be dramatic. Bequests can take a variety of<br />
forms – a specific sum of money, a percentage of an estate,<br />
or a certain piece of property.<br />
Charitable Remainder Trusts<br />
The charitable remainder trust is a beneficial life income plan<br />
that financial advisors often recommend to their clients,<br />
including those who may not have previously considered<br />
charitable contributions as part of their estate planning. With<br />
a charitable remainder trust, one can support the community<br />
while gaining an immediate income tax deduction, reduce<br />
estate taxes, potentially eliminate capital gains taxes,<br />
increase income from assets, and still provide for a spouse<br />
and heirs.<br />
The Charitable IRA<br />
Using an IRA for a charitable bequest can pay real dividends<br />
in the community. If one has already created a sound estate<br />
plan that achieves all objectives and takes care of the family,<br />
one lingering challenge remains: What should one do with an<br />
IRA or qualified retirement plan? Leaving the IRA with the<br />
children could result in a combined tax of up to 80 percent,<br />
and if one has already provided well for both his or her<br />
spouse and children through an existing estate plan, the<br />
distribution to a charity makes extremely effective use of pretax<br />
dollars.<br />
Charitable giving is often overlooked. It’s amazing how often<br />
people say, “I never thought about making a charitable gift<br />
through my estate plan. It just never occurred to me.” When<br />
you name a charity in your plan to receive a specific amount<br />
by Robert D. Keijonen, Attorney at Law<br />
FPH Community Partner<br />
or a percentage of your estate, you will make it to an<br />
organization you have supported during your lifetime. You<br />
declare that you believe in the mission of the charity and that<br />
you want a portion of your accumulated assets to be invested<br />
in furthering the good work of a worthy cause.<br />

Going for the . . .<br />
Gold<br />
Card<br />
Y<br />
ou know you’ve reached your place in life when<br />
you’re offered a gold card – and Foothill <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
donors are no exception. Contributors to the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> are now eligible to receive the Foothill<br />
Presbyterian Hospital Gold Card.<br />
As a Gold Card holder, donors and their immediate family<br />
are entitled to membership privileges from the moment<br />
they enter the hospital. For card holders, the registration<br />
and discharge process starts by presenting the card, and<br />
the necessity to meet with a financial counselor during<br />
discharge is eliminated. If an overnight stay in the<br />
hospital is required, a beautiful fresh flower arrangement<br />
will be delivered to the patient’s room. Additionally, but<br />
only by availability, a private room can be requested at no<br />
additional charge. And for each day of hospitalization, a<br />
friend or companion is invited to join the patient for a<br />
meal using a complimentary meal pass.<br />
Where else can you find a gold card that actually gives<br />
back to you – and without interest rates and finance<br />
charges?<br />
To be eligible for a Gold Card, a donor must give an<br />
annual gift of $500 or more to The Foothill <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
A simple, completed application form must accompany<br />
the contribution.<br />
For more information or to obtain an application<br />
form, contact the <strong>Foundation</strong> at (626) 857-3348.<br />

Questar Construction and TAYLOR:<br />
Uniting two firms to create Foothill’s new<br />
Arthur and Sarah Ludwick Emergency Care Pavilion<br />
Two firms with a long history of working with<br />
medical organizations to create state-of-the-art,<br />
community-minded facilities joined forces to design<br />
and build the new Arthur and Sarah Ludwick Emergency<br />
Care Pavilion.<br />
Questar Construction, a construction design company,<br />
and TAYLOR, an architectural firm, worked closely with<br />
hospital staff and administration to create a facility that<br />
will meet the needs of Glendora and the surrounding<br />
communities for years to come.<br />
Questar got its start in the early 1990s doing work from the garage of President Jim<br />
Salomon’s San Dimas home. Initially, Questar did health-care work because state<br />
regulations and Office of Statewide <strong>Health</strong> Planning and Development (OSHPD)<br />
requirements made such projects undesirable to many companies, so there were a<br />
number of opportunities. As time went on and the company became more<br />
established, the rewarding nature of health-care work motivated the company to<br />
continue with these types of projects.<br />
Questar is now housed in a building that it designed and built in Newport Beach.<br />
The company’s extensive work with <strong>Citrus</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Partners over the years<br />
includes the Family Birth & Newborn Center at the <strong>Citrus</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Medical Center –<br />
Queen of the <strong>Valley</strong> Campus in West Covina and the Catheterization Laboratory at<br />
the <strong>Citrus</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Medical Center – Inter-Community Campus in Covina, as well as a<br />
number of remodeling projects for CVHP.<br />
TAYLOR has specialized in institutional work, including hospitals, since being formed<br />
in 1979. In designing the new pavilion, TAYLOR architects sought to give the new<br />
building a contemporary look that was subtle enough so that it would blend in with<br />
the existing facility and give the impression that it had always been part of the<br />
hospital.<br />
One of the ways in which the contemporary look was attained is through is<br />
clerestory windows and a tall glass tower at the public entrance. The natural light<br />
that will be allowed in, as well as the soothing color palette that has been used,<br />
22<br />
22<br />
help create a warm, welcoming<br />
environment that will help patients and<br />
their families feel more at ease.<br />
As architects and designers formulated<br />
a plan for the inside of the new pavilion,<br />
special consideration was given to<br />
designing workstations and patient care<br />
areas that are as strategically well<br />
placed and efficient as possible.<br />
Questar and TAYLOR’s combined efforts<br />
have helped create an emergency<br />
department that will allow Foothill<br />
Presbyterian Hospital to serve more<br />
than 24,000 patients each year in a safe<br />
and comfortable environment that is<br />
consistent with and representative of<br />
CVHP’s standards of excellence.<br />

In Remembrance<br />
Daniel Gene Vogt, M.D.<br />
In remembrance . . .<br />
1942 - <strong>2007</strong><br />
D<br />
an was born June 15, 1942 in Seward, Nebraska. He has an identical twin<br />
brother, Don, and one other brother, Terry, born 14 months later. The three<br />
of them grew up on the farm; they were close to each other not only in age,<br />
but also in living all of those growing-up experiences. Dan graduated from Seward<br />
High School in 1960. He received his bachelor of science degree from the University<br />
of Nebraska in 1964, and graduated alongside his brother Terry from the University<br />
of Nebraska Medical School in 1969. Dan completed his internship and began his<br />
surgical residency at Highlands Hospital in Oakland, California. It was then that he<br />
decided to go into emergency medicine, and finished the first Emergency Medicine<br />
residency program offered in the country - through the University of Southern<br />
California at Los Angeles County Hospital.<br />
After that, Dan moved to Colorado where he managed emergency rooms in the<br />
Colorado and Wyoming cities of Longmont, Loveland, Fort Collins, and Cheyenne.<br />
In 1977, he established the Emergency Service Physicians Group at Lutheran<br />
Hospital in Wheat Ridge. This group has been quite successful and the last year<br />
provided emergency care to more than 100,000 patients at Lutheran Hospital and<br />
Good Samaritan Hospital, in Denver. In 1986, Dan moved to San Clemente,<br />
California, where he managed the emergency services department at San Clemente<br />
Hospital. He often piloted sail boats on the ocean, and his favorite destination was<br />
Avalon on Santa Catalina Island.<br />
Dan’s last move was to Rancho Mirage in the Palm Springs area, where he resided<br />
with his wife Kerry. On Tuesday, April 10, his immediate family held a memorial<br />
ceremony at sea between Dana Point and Santa Catalina, where Dan’s ashes were<br />
scattered over the area of the ocean that he enjoyed so much.<br />
Dan is survived by his widow, Kerry; his mother, Eleanor Vogt, of Seward,<br />
Nebraska; two daughters, Daidre Johnson and Dori LaJeunesse, both of Broomfield,<br />
Colorado; and five grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Dr. Terry Vogt<br />
of Evergreen, Colorado, and Don Vogt of Morrison, Colorado.<br />

founding staff member of Foothill Presbyterian Hospital as its<br />
public relations manager.<br />
A founding member indeed, Braun was one of the first<br />
employees to work for the hospital prior to its opening in<br />
1973. Answering a newspaper ad for the role of public<br />
relations coordinator, Braun was hired by FPH administrator<br />
Don Adams.<br />
“I worked out of my house for 18 months writing publicity while the hospital was being<br />
built, and was one of the first four staff members to move into the new building when it<br />
was nearly finished,” Braun recalls. Rounding out the foursome with Braun were Adams,<br />
his secretary, and Winifred Robertson, the first director of volunteers.<br />
Braun took charge of all of the publicity leading up to, and following, Foothill’s opening.<br />
“Once we opened our doors, I also handled the extra curricular activities, such as health<br />
fairs, flu clinics, open houses, Santa’s arrival by helicopter, Physical Therapy Day – all<br />
without a secretary or a computer.” During her 15-year tenure with the hospital, Braun’s<br />
additional tasks included most of the photography, designing and writing brochures, and<br />
writing the articles for the quarterly FPH NEWS – now known as <strong><strong>Health</strong>wise</strong>. More so, she<br />
wrote publicity pieces for organizations such as the FPH Men’s Club, Glendora Rotary Club,<br />
the Glendora Jaycees annual Spring Runs, and other activities with which the hospital was<br />
affiliated. “Don Adams wanted me to write a job description for my job, and it took me<br />
four months to do it because I was so busy,” remembers Braun.<br />

Before her days with FPH, Braun worked as a reporter, staff<br />
writer, and receptionist for the Monrovia Journal/Duartean.<br />
Although she had no formal training in public relations, Braun<br />
did have many years under her belt volunteering for various<br />
organizations, usually adding publicity to her responsibilities.<br />
Though much of her work, both volunteer and otherwise, was<br />
in and around the city of Glendora, her altruism was felt<br />
around the world.<br />
“My first late husband, Frank Tessitor, an engineer, was chief<br />
of public works for a foreign aid program called the Agency<br />
for International Development (AID). We lived in Karachi,<br />
Pakistan for three years. After living in Glendora and<br />
Bethesda, Maryland, for a few years, we moved to Taipei,<br />
Taiwan,” explains Braun. The Tessitors remained in Taiwan<br />
for five years, before returning to Glendora, her home for<br />
40 years.<br />
While in Pakistan, Braun (Tessitor) developed and directed<br />
a popular international recreation program comprised of 20<br />
weekly activities and classes serving nine nationalities.<br />
Among her volunteer activities was distributing milk in<br />
refugee camps. But it was during her time in Taiwan that<br />
she celebrated her highest achievement.<br />
“As I look back on my life, my greatest accomplishment was<br />
establishing the Taiwan Western Art Library in Taipei,” Braun<br />
recalls. “It had never been done before. Chinese students<br />
were studying Western art, but with limited examples. When<br />
Western publications came to the University, the professors<br />
took them for themselves. The students were left with<br />
nothing from which to learn.” Braun was able to establish<br />
the library with help from the art students, plus donations<br />
and support from the U.S. Ambassador, U.S.I.S., AID, various<br />
other U.S. government agencies, and organizations in Taipei<br />
and the United States. “We were able to get donations of<br />
art books – including the entire Skira collection – movie<br />
projectors and recorders, cartoons from Hanna Barbera<br />
Studios, and a variety of art books from private clubs in<br />
the States.”<br />
Chang Fu Tsung, director of the National Central Library in<br />
Taipei, welcomed the collection within its library. Here the<br />
students could work and research Western art, something<br />
they had wanted to do for a long time but never expected to<br />
happen. As a result, Braun became fast friends with many of<br />
the artists and art students. “Establishing the Western Art<br />
Library was the turning point of my life,” Braun says fondly.<br />
“It was a wonderful experience.”<br />
By the time the library came into being, Braun was awarded a<br />
commendation by the Taiwan Minister of Education. Two<br />
years later, she founded the companion Library of Occidental<br />
Music at the National Central Library.<br />
Returning to Glendora, Braun continued to live a rich life with<br />
Frank and their three children: Judi (Rudd); Doug (Tessitor);<br />

and Joyce (Farnsworth), with five granddaughters and six<br />
great grandchildren to come. Frank passed away in 1977 after<br />
38 years of marriage. Two years later, Braun met Howard,<br />
who became her second husband in 1981. She was widowed<br />
a second time when their 17-year marriage ended with<br />
Howard’s death in 1998.<br />
Foothill’s first publication – FPH News – was launched by Braun.<br />
Today we know it as <strong><strong>Health</strong>wise</strong>, this very newsletter.<br />
Over the years, Braun has immersed herself in the<br />
community, taking on volunteer and leadership roles<br />
throughout. Shortly after returning to the States she was<br />
named a ‘Southern California International Woman’ by<br />
members of the press for her volunteer work locally and<br />
abroad. Subsequently, she has earned many honors and<br />
accolades over the years including the Glendora Chamber<br />
of Commerce’s Community Service Award; the L.A. County<br />
Department of <strong>Health</strong> Services’ Outstanding Volunteer Award;<br />
two Women of Achievement Certificates from the YWCA of<br />
the San Gabriel <strong>Valley</strong>; and the Humanitarian Service Award<br />
by the Glendora Coordinating Council. In 2000, Braun was<br />
named Citizen of the Year by the Glendora Chamber of<br />
Commerce.<br />
As special as these awards are to her, Braun is most<br />
passionate about the ways in which she spends her days –<br />
or more accurately, with whom. The list of service<br />
organizations and action groups with whom she divides her<br />
time goes on and on, such as the <strong>Citrus</strong> College <strong>Foundation</strong>,<br />
which she has served for more than 14 years. Eight of those<br />
years were spent as chair of the Performing Arts Committee;<br />
six as a member of the <strong>Citrus</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Board of Directors,<br />
two as president, and simultaneously, three as founding chair<br />
of the Taste of Autumn Food and Wine Tasting Benefit. She<br />
has been a member of the Glendora Coordinating Council<br />
since 1981, with 11 years on the board, and two years as<br />
president.<br />
HEALTHWISE FOOTHILL PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL
EYE-DAS (Eye Diseases Are Serious) has also benefited from<br />
Braun’s tireless energy. Founded in 1975 by Ida and Joe<br />
Fracasse to help the visually impaired, EYE-DAS provides its<br />
members with resources, education, information, and social<br />
activities in order to enable independence and to improve<br />
quality of life. Braun has been on board since the early days,<br />
initially serving as chair of the steering committee, followed<br />
by two years as the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s charter president. Earlier,<br />
she provided the impetus for the founding of the Eugene<br />
Beckwith Memorial Low Vision Center – now the Foothill<br />
Center for the Partially Sighted – at Foothill Presbyterian<br />
Hospital.<br />
Braun’s taste for the arts was not left in Asia. She was a<br />
board of directors’ member of the San Gabriel <strong>Valley</strong><br />
Symphony for 11 years and president of the Symphony’s<br />
Women’s Committee for three. But as passionate as she is<br />
about the arts, Braun is modest about her know-how.<br />
“It’s funny. I’m a good audience, but I can’t carry a tune.<br />
And I have no knowledge of music, but I know the value of it<br />
and I appreciate it.”<br />
Her artful palate continues to play into her daily life. Braun,<br />
who recently retired to Mt. San Antonio Gardens in<br />
Claremont, has added a few responsibilities. She serves on<br />
the Flower Committee, providing floral arrangements for the<br />
Social Building several times a year, she has staged fashion<br />
shows for the residents, heads the Dinner Announcements<br />
Committee, and helps in the Low Vision Center where she<br />
orders Talking Books from the Braille Institute for the<br />
residents with impaired vision.<br />
Still, her memories of life overseas are vivid. Instead of<br />
curling up with a good book at the end of a long day, Braun is<br />
writing a book about her experiences in Pakistan more than<br />
50 years ago. Original Chinese paintings adorn her walls. An<br />
oil that she painted of Pakistan’s Governor General’s body<br />
guards is partially hidden behind one wall, and one of her<br />
Chinese paintings, displayed with a number of water colors by<br />
Chinese masters on other walls, reminds her of days in<br />
Taiwan so long ago.<br />

Despite their many volunteer commitments, my parents<br />
always make time for family. When we were growing<br />
up, we had dinner together almost every night and my<br />
parents never missed a game, recital, music lesson, or<br />
other event. Now that we have families of our own and<br />
are spread across several states, my parents still devote<br />
as much time as possible to visiting us and their<br />
grandchildren. My parents call me every weekend to<br />
make sure Elizabeth is coming over to see them, and<br />
are always happy to have Elizabeth share the day with<br />
them – even when she is home sick. Although their<br />
other grandchildren are not as fortunate as Elizabeth to<br />
have grandma and grandpa next door, they really enjoy<br />
having tea parties with grandma, feeding the fish, or<br />
riding the train with grandpa when they do come to<br />
town.<br />
Both of my parents have contributed years of service to<br />
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital. My mom served on the<br />
board of directors for several years and has been a<br />
member of the auxiliary for decades. My dad served as<br />
president of the Foothill <strong>Foundation</strong> for several years<br />
and currently serves on the board of directors for <strong>Citrus</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Partners. They have generously<br />
contributed to the hospital over the years, including the<br />
bronze sculpture that all hospital patients and visitors<br />
enjoy as they enter FPH. Quality healthcare benefits all<br />
of the citizens of Glendora, and my parents continue to<br />
offer their support and guidance to the hospital to<br />
ensure that we continue to have excellent health care<br />
in Glendora for future generations.<br />
With the upcoming opening of the Emergency Care<br />
Pavilion, I am pleased that the community will honor<br />
my parents by naming the Pavilion after them. We are<br />
really proud and thankful to our parents for all the<br />
years of service they have given to Glendora, and hope<br />
that future generations will remember them and follow<br />
their lead in giving generously of themselves to better<br />
their community.<br />
