"Patch-work Tales:
The Life of Eleanor
Roosevelt"
St. Edward Alter Society
will be presenting "Patch-
work tales: the life of Eleanor
Roosevelt" with guest speak-
er Debbie Dimitre on March
5. Tickets are $10, lunch is at
noon.
Meet Eleanor Roosevelt
and hear her true-life story
about being a peaceful war-
rior for human rights, as told
by Debbie Dimitre.
"Patch-work Tales" is a
series of programs, which
bring women and young girls
in history to life though dra-
matic storytelling, folklore
and legends. Suited for all
ages, Debbie has performed
her docu-dramas for numer-
ous schools, churches, librar-
ies, bookstores, senior cen-
ters, women's organizations,
historical groups, museums,
rotaries, community groups
and for the Northwest Folk
life Festival.
Debbie has also served
on the board for the Seattle
Storytellers Guild and is
currently listed in the King
County Education and Cul-
tural resource guide.
Susan Thomsen, Resi-
dent Services Manager
of Northaven Retirement
Community said this about
Debbie, "Her voice seems to
change. Her posture is differ-
ent. It's amazing. When the
lights come back up follow-
ing her story you will feel as
though you have been on a
trip, at a movie or more ap-
propriately in a time-travel
dream."

THE WAY WE WERE: 1930s
There was no hospital in Shelton until 192o, when Mark E. Reed donated
land and money to have one built in town. Before this time the closest
hospitals were in Olympia or Bremerton. This picture was taken in 1934.
