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 />

� 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 />

paramount importance,” says Jane (Tessitor) Braun, a<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 />

�JANE 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 />
