Last year at the church where we go here, we met this very fine lady named Paulina Granville. Some of you may know, and some may not, but her name is a combination of two towns in Northwest Iowa so I can remember her name. She is a fascinating woman. She studied at Juliard in NYC, got a Ph.D. in Music with her specialty being piano, she performed, she taught at a university, and amazingly had 8 children. She says she is 85. She dresses elegantly, always wearing a hat. You can see here what I mean. When we got here this year, she was not at church, and when we inquired about her, we found out she had been in the hospital and was not well. We searched her out and tried to visit her at the hospital, but we were too late. She had already gone home. Then we tried to visit her at her home, but no response. Then she came to church, and we were so delighted to see her. This week after church, she invited us out to dinner. She was so pleased that we had come looking for her so we celebrated by sharing a meal. We hope to keep in touch with her in the future. We have made a very nice connection with a remarkable woman.
