Sandi Thurber and Elizabeth Joseph from Gwinnett Extended Care Center

00:00 /

To anyone that speaks to Sandi Thurber, it is apparent that she loves her job, and is personally motivated by helping families in times of crisis and need. Educated in Sociology at the University of Southern Mississippi, Sandi began working with older adults on a part-time basis as the Activities Coordinator in a nursing home. After many years at both Meadowbrook and Delmar Gardens, she accepted her current position as a social worker at Gwinnett Extended Care Center (GECC) about six years ago.

Elizabeth Joseph came to the US from India twenty five years ago. When she came here, she intended to be a teacher. When she found it difficult to find a teaching job, she went back to school, and earned her RN degree. She moved to Atlanta 17 years ago, and accepted a position with the Gwinnett Medical system 14 years ago. Though she wears a multitude of hats, her primary role at GECC is to assist patients with their Medicare and insurance needs.

GECC is an 89 bed facility located adjacent to the main Gwinnett Medical Center campus in Lawrenceville. Sandi tells us this that being a part of the Gwinnett Medical system, and being co-located with the campus is a tremendous benefit for their patients, in that, there are a host of resources available that would not be easily accessible in another location. To find out more information about GECC, please call them directly at (678) 312-3000, or visit them on the web here.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years.

July 3rd – Men Writing Memoirs

June 28, 2012 by angishields

Write Here Write Now

July 3rd - Men Writing Memoirs

00:00 / 0:44:20

From the perspective of writing coach/editor and host of Write Here, Write Now, Tim Morrison, there is no difference in possible or potential approaches between men and women in writing a memoir; in fact, Dr. Tim has found a curious common thread which he will share during this broadcast. Brian H Settles and William L Graham are the guests. Former airline captain Brian Settles writes of life as a bi-racial orphan who became a fighter pilot to overcome the demons of his childhood. He flew in nearly 200 combat missions in Viet Nam. His book No Reason for Dying shares a ruthless, honest testimony of his wartime experience and the hard lessons he subsequently learned in search of himself as he sought a greater purpose in life.

After a visit to his boyhood/growing up communities of Baltzer and Drew, Mississippi, William Graham realized that it would be impossible for his own adult children and certainly his grandchildren to visit and know the Mississippi Delta and its towns of his youth and formative years. He set about to document the times, places, people and events that shaped his life and left an indelible mark on him as a person.

How did each determine the approach to take for writing his individual memoir? What challenges did they encounter? What advice do they share? Listen to the encouragement they offer as men who wrote and published their memoirs.
