Wednesday, Jun 15, 2005 8:30 am Calling ALL caregivers - Need some inspiration?
The bell sounds. This life-long prizefighter bounds from her corner throwing jabs and hooks. The eldest child of immigrants, teacher, and union organizer in the New York City schools, Trina, a fierce and valuable ally, was not to be danced around. The paradox is that at 83, she was still throwing punches, but forgetting which direction her opponent's were coming from! This is a story about coaching a feisty prizewinner through her last big bout - only this one is visited by landmarks of laughter and redemption. Written and produced by professional storyteller Judith Black, Retiring the Champ is the story of her mother-in-law's battle with Alzheimer's. With poignancy and healthy doses of humor, Ms. Black vividly portrays how - through illness and tenacity - old wounds can heal through the evolution of familial roles.
Location: Mount Anthony Country Club, Bennington, VT
