Five Star Seniors' Dreams Coming True
Five Star Senior Living is grateful to Second Wind Dreams for the joy they've brought to our residents and staff.
Marlene Dean Her Dream: To play golf once again at the country club where she had won golf titles and been a charter member. Marlene Dean just wanted to swing a club one more time at the country club where she had won a couple of titles and was a Charter Member. That dream came true last week when she and two of her children and some of her grandchildren went with us to Terri Pines Country Club for her to relive memories, look at pictures of her wining trophies, and to hit her first golf ball in about 10 years. She hit it about 60 yards and was elated.
His Dream: To have his artwork in a gallery showing.
Second Wind Dreams is a non-profit organization that, similar to the Make a Wish Foundation for children, aims to enhance the quality of life for those living in eldercare communities by granting individual's wishes. The Customs House Museum and Cultural Center in Clarksville, featured Mr. Miller's art in its gallery. It was a big surprise for him and the Museum did a wonderful job. One of Mr. Miller's sons came in from Seattle, and his twin sister came in from Florida for the exhibit. Everyone enjoyed appetizers and drinks while viewing Mr. Miller's artwork.
His Dream: To once again be the radio announcer for the University of Northern Alabama.
Through the Second Wind Dreams organization, Morningside of Sheffield resident George Manush has once again gotten to be the “Voice of the Lions” for the University of North Alabama football team! Mr. Manush was a radio announcer from 1952 to 1991, and doubled as the “Voice” at UNA for more than 20 years. How exciting that at age 82, he got to do it again for the 2009 Homecoming Game at Braly Stadium! |

Bill Miller, a resident of Walking Horse Meadows Assisted Living, is an artist, but he had never had any of his paintings in a showing. So, the team at Walking Horse, along with Second Wind Dreams and a local Museum made that happen! 
"Voice of the Lions" Returns!
