From the CEO
Kent Phillips
I want you to know how humbled and honored I am to be a part of
the Trezevant community. In my short five months of service, you
have welcomed me with a level of patience and understanding that
truly takes my breath away!
I find the Trezevant community to be a rich collective of family
and friends who have a special relationship with each other. Sure,
you have invested in a highly-customized home, you have planned
for your longer term care needs in advance, you expect excellence in
the wide array of resident-centered services we provide every day and
you have chosen to enjoy the best of the Memphis experience. But
more than that, you have come to recognize the power of community.
I have served the greater senior community for more than 25 years,
but I see a special bond among Trezevant residents that I’ve not
experienced in my career.
Many of you have shared parts of your life story with me. The
more stories I hear, the better I understand your experience here at
Trezevant, and how each of you, through your individual experiences,
contribute to the whole. I want to know more about you; what better
way to accomplish this than to simply welcome your story? The
better I and my Senior Leadership Team understand you, the better
we can anticipate your needs. Terry Pratchett said “People think that
stories are shaped by people. In fact it’s the other way around…” In
terms of the collective Trezevant experience, I tend to agree with that
notion.
We are in the midst of autumn. The changing season brings
with it cooler weather and causes us to stay indoors. Let’s take the
opportunity to share our stories. I am reminded of Maya Angelou’s
recognition that “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold
story inside you.” Let’s unburden ourselves and enjoy the Trezevant
experience!
From the FOUNDATION
Nora Conaway
Everyone seems to be getting on
the bandwagon for store loyalty
rewards programs and Trezevant
is no exception. We have recently
partnered with two community rewards programs which will
donate a percentage of purchases
by customers who have designated
Trezevant as their favorite not-forprofit. Until I began working on
this project, I didn’t even know that
it was possible to designate that
funds go toward a favorite not-forprofit so this is an added benefit.
The first program is for shoppers at Superlo Foods. When
the keychain card is presented at
checkout Trezevant will receive up
to 3% of the total purchase. You
may pick up an application for the
card in my office or you may apply
at the store, giving the name of the
Trezevant Manor Foundation and
# 500448120. It is not required to
have an email address but it is used for
confirmation.You may use my address;
[email protected] if
necessary.
The second loyalty program
is through the Memphis Kroger
stores. For this program, it is necessary to register
for a card at
the customer
service desk
at your store
and to have
an email address. You may then
go online to krogercommunityrewards.com to register the Trezevant
Manor Foundation # 68884 as
your designee or you may set it up
by calling 1-866-221-4141. At any
time you are welcome to call my
office at 251-9242 and I will try to
assist you.
As always, we thank our supporters of the foundation for their
dedication to its mission.

From the CHAPLAIN
Meet our BOARD
The Rev. Robin Hatzenbuehler
It has been a time of harvest in
the Chaplain’s office this fall!
Since we welcome all of you to
all of our Chapel programs, I
thought I’d use this time to let
you know what’s going on.
Although this is “old news” for
us at Trezevant, many of you may
not have heard that this spring,
resident Sylvia Adams was honored at the Leading Age convention in Nashville as the Tennessee
Leading Age Volunteer of the
Year. This was a well-deserved
honor as the list of volunteer
activities and “hats” that she wears
here at Trezevant are legion.
Chair of the Chapel committee,
Lector, Lay Eucharistic Minister,
altar guild member, crucifer, and
on and on and on. I have jokingly
said that the only thing she hasn’t
done is preach – but recently she
read my prepared sermon when
I lost my voice!! And beside all,
that she does yoga and can do a
terrific head stand.
This fall we have had a fabulous two months of a class
series entitled “The Mystery of
Mindfulness,” facilitated by me
and taught by resident Linda
Douty Mischke, spiritual director
and author. We learned various
meditation practices, not for the
purpose of becoming better meditators but rather to become more
mindful and aware. We also read
reports from the Mayo Clinic and
Harvard University which gave us
scientific evidence for the life improvements that come from meditation. Specifically, the research
by Harvard neuroscientists at
Massachusetts General Hospital
showed via MRI scans that meditation actually produced massive
changes in the brain. The details
of the research astonished not
only us but the most experienced
neuroscientists at Harvard. As
we learn more and more about
the importance of meditation to
the quality of our lives, we are
pleased that Trezevant residents
are in the know!
Our Tuesday Evening Spiritual Speakers Series continues
with resident the Rev. Dr. Walter
Mischke as our M.C. So far this
year the speakers have been the
Rev. Julie McKenna, associate
Chaplain at Trezevant, and the
Rev. Dr. Walter Mischke. November’s speaker will be Rabbi
Micah Greenstein. Join us for
these inspirational speakers!
In addition to a full plate of
weekly classes and devotionals
and Sunday Chapel services,
we have been able to add to the
Sunday worship at Allen Morgan Center. Previously, we had
services there twice monthly with
the Revs. Drew Woodruff and
Bill Fry, but now it has grown to
Scott Crosby
all four Sundays with the help of
two of our new residents: The
Rev. Dr. Walter Mischke (retired
UMC minister) and the Rev. Ben
Bledsoe (retired Baptist minister).
With the addition of the Rev.
Julie McKenna we have added to
the pastoral care at both the Terrace and Allen Morgan Center.
She is also heading up
Pet Therapy visits at both those
buildings and a Visitation Team
there as well.
Our “Reader Extraordinaire”
Ms. Dina Smith, assistant to the
Chaplain, is enlarging her ministry with Second Saturday Readings. The current book is Welcome
to the World by Joan Chittister.
Events of note have been the
annual Blessing of the Animals in
our Chapel and the annual Blessing of the Hands of our caregivers
and medical staff during Pastoral
Care Week. Coming up on Sunday, November 1 we will celebrate
All Saints Sunday as we remember, celebrate, and give thanks for
the lives of residents who have
died during this past year.
We celebrate the fact that
Trezevant is a faith-based community and welcome all of you to
join us at any time!
The immediate past president of the Trezevant Board of Directors and a Trezevant Foundation
Trustee, Scott J. Crosby, was born and raised in Memphis, the son of parents who were passionate
about philanthropy and embraced many local not-for-profits (including Trezevant) with their time
and talents. Scott attended MUS, the University of Virginia, and graduated from the University of
Virginia law school prior to his going to work as a trial attorney for the Department of Justice, Tax
Division. Since 1999 he has been a commercial and business and family law practitioner with Burch,
Porter and Johnson. He is married to Meg Thomas Crosby and is the father of three children, Andrew, Lucy, and Tom.
When Scott is not practicing law he is the owner of a successful downtown Irish pub, The Brass
Door, and serves on the boards of The Salvation Army and The Levitt Shell. He and his family are
active members of Calvary Episcopal Church, enjoy escaping to the lakes in Arkansas, are avid readers, and have been adopted by three dogs.
During his time as chairman of the Trezevant board, he instituted the Governance committee
to assure that best practices were being upheld, to review and update the by-laws, and to review all
current contracts. He has certainly followed the good steward example of his parents.
The four artists who are featured in the art show in the Terrace Walk until December 3 are Stephanie Cosby, Jada
Thompson Stewart, Jeniffer Church, and Kristin Rambo. The show entitled Four Knowledge brings together four worldviews, each perceiving nature and interacting with it in beautiful, unexpected ways. Sales of the works benefit both
the Church Health Center and the Trezevant Foundation.
Ann Stevens
Our Stories
by Julia Allen
In conversation with Ann Stevens,
one hears a charming Canadian accent, touched by a bit of a
Scottish brogue, and, maybe, a hint
of Southern. What follows will
explain why.
Ann Dorene Newton was born
to George and Norma Newton in
St. Catherine’s, Ontario, Canada.
George worked until retirement
in management at the Maple Leaf
Milling Company; Norma was a
homemaker. Ann was the elder of
a daughter and son making up the
family which moved to Ottawa,
Ontario, the capitol, when Ann
was four. The Newton children
attended Canadian public schools,
graduating from grade thirteen,
equivalent to a freshman year of
college. Completing a three year
Royal Victoria Hospital School of
Nursing education in Montreal,
Ann was hired to work for a year
and a half largely with WWII
veterans suffering from spinal cord
injuries. When her parents moved
to London, Ontario, the young
nurse moved as well and worked
briefly in a London hospital. Her
last nursing position before marriage was in a non-cosmetic, oral
plastic surgery clinic. At a Christmas party given by a doctor friend,
Ann met John Stevens, a tall and
handsome Scot from Edinburgh.
He had served in the Pacific
during WWII in the British Fleet
Air Arm, with training in Pensacola, Florida, earning his pilot’s
wings from both countries.
Upon discharge from the
service, he had attained the prestigious bio-chemistry degree of
Brewmaster and worked in England for several years before emigrating to Canada. In 1957 Ann
and John married in London and
moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where
John was the Director of Brewing
at a Carlings brewery. In those
eight busy years they were blessed
by the arrival of three children –
John, then Susan, and lastly Scott.
A series of brewery moves and
promotions over a number of years
took them back to Toronto,
Milwaukee, San Francisco,
and San Mateo, a city they
loved, before the big opportunity arose to come to
Memphis to be in charge
of not only overseeing the
building of the outstanding
Schlitz Brewery, but also
serving as plant manager.
This move changed their
lives. Ann, John, and the children
happily bought into the Bluff City
and the children were enrolled
and involved in Hutchison School,
PDS, and MUS. Ann enjoyed
golfing in both Memphis and
Scotland. She became active in
service organizations, including
the Memphis Symphony League,
the Le Bonheur Club, and occasionally volunteered as a nurse in
the recovery room of Le Bonheur
Hospital. John also enjoyed golf
and Little Theatre (later Theatre
Memphis) work. In the 70’s he
headed the original Downtown
Development Committee which
involved buying the Orpheum
Theater, among other downtown
projects. After ten years John
left his work at Schlitz for the E.
H. Crump Insurance Company.
In 1977 Steinmart was opening
an off price department store in
Memphis. Ann joined friends
Jane Carruthers, Jan Bell, Ellen
Clark, and Margaret Krausnick,
among others, in one-day-aweek employment there, selling
throughout the store, but, later, encouraged the owner and president
Jay Stein to designate an area for
specialty clothing, which eventually became the Boutique.
So successful was the store
and its Boutique program that
it was written up in the Wall
Street Journal, with quotes from
the day-a-week women. Ann
was an employee, part-time and
full-time, for twenty-seven years.
Meanwhile, the Stevens children
grew up, married, and had families and careers of their own. John
is vice-president of Iberia Bank
in Memphis and has a daughter.
Susan, a University of Tennessee
graduate, was a flight attendant
until her marriage and now has
a daughter and five stepchildren
in Memphis. Scott, also a University of Tennessee graduate,
had a successful movie career in
Hollywood for sixteen years and
then switched to the business
world. He has three teenagers of
his own and two step-teens, living
in Greensboro, N.C. A favorite
family story goes that when John
Sr. went to California to visit son
Scott in Hollywood, he accompanied Scott to an audition in
which Scott was reading for a
movie part. The father was noticed by the casting director and
won a bit part in another movie,
while Scott went home empty-handed! Having an international marriage, the Stevens had
the travel urge deeply engraved
on them early on. Ann and John
and the children spent months’
long and more visits to Scotland
to see family and friends and Ann
and the family still love to spend
time in Scotland every year. Son
John graduated from Rhodes College, but spent his junior year at St.
Andrew’s University in Scotland.
Ann has a granddaughter taking a
semester in Vienna while a student
at Furman University. Another
granddaughter is currently taking
a post-graduate year in Madrid,
Spain, working as an au pair for a
Spanish family. Having a Scottish
great grandmother visiting enabled a grandson to bring her to
show and tell, where she treated
the boys to homemade shortbread
and answered questions about the
Loch Ness monster.
Ann Stevens is a woman of
many talents - golf, nursing, salesmanship, friendliness and charm,
but an even more striking gift is
her art. She is an accomplished
painter and her oils beautify the
walls of her Trezevant apartment.
John and Ann had discussed the
possibility of their moving into
Trezevant at a later date, but his
death in 2009 put that on hold.
However, the Stevens children
began encouraging Ann to make
this move. She made the decision
in 2013. “I am so happy here”, she
says. Ann is everywhere joining in
and volunteering. Dottie’s Digs,
Chapel Services, Happy Hour,
and orchestrating the Fall Fashion
Show benefit greatly from her
skills. When we consider what
joy, talent, and spirit she brings to
Trezevant, all we can say is “Thank
you, Canada!” and “Ann, how
about a class on shortbread?”
Hospitality comes naturally to Paul Martin
By Nora Conaway, Development Director
As Trezevant grows and maintains its reputation as the place for graceful, rewarding
retirement, we welcome someone new to lead
a vital part of our LifeCare commitment.
Tom Hanlen, who has done a noble job of
running the Allen Morgan Center for the last
six years, decided to retire in order to assist
several members of his family. After an extensive search, Kent Phillips, CEO, happily
announced the addition of Paul Martin to our
staff. I spoke with Paul recently and thought
that readers might be interested in finding out
how he came to join our community.
This soft-spoken Eagle Scout was born in
St. Louis but his family soon found themselves
in Wesson, MS, where his father was the dean
of continuing education at the local community college and his mother was a public health
nurse. Following his graduation from Centre
College in Kentucky with a major in economics and management, Paul entered a master’s
program in public health at the University of
Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg where
part of the course requirement took him into
a six-month internship in a long-term care
facility in Brookhaven, MS. This was where he
discovered his love of working in senior care.
As soon as he received his license, he moved to
Memphis to be the administrator of a nursing
home here from 1992-1996.
While working for the same company in a
different area, Paul served as the administrator
of a geriatric physician practice. One of the
physicians working in this group was Dr. Jeff
Warren, Allen Morgan’s medical director. Later he returned to the nursing home division
and managed a facility in Holly Springs until
the parent company evolved into something
else and he decided to do something new himself, expanding his career experience and going
to work for Hilton World Wide.
Having been with Hilton, he feels that he
brings a professional understanding of how
care and hospitality work together, and his
goal is to make people feel welcome, valued
and comfortable every day at AMC. It is very
important to serve not only residents but
families. Although I caught him on his first
day here, I asked if there were any particular areas on which he would like to leave his
fingerprint. He said that there are some areas
that need to be rethought, particularly in the
utilization of space. He hopes that his enthusiasm will help to energize staff and give them
an understanding of the culture he wants to
instill at Allen Morgan.
Rehab is an area that is vital to AMC and
he would like to market it to all of Memphis.
In particular, he is very interested in aquatic
rehab and the benefit of weightless exercise.
Since they already have a high percentage of
participants who are returning to their homes,
the job will be in getting the information out.
Although we will miss Tom Hanlen and
certainly wish him well in retirement, we will
look forward to assisting Paul in his new position here.

Some of you may recall several months ago when we thanked our somewhat-new resident Susan Herron for knitting beautiful baby hats and
donating them for sale in the Little Store to benefit the Foundation. Well,
now we can refer to her as the award-winning Susan Herron since she took
six ribbons at the Delta Fair and Music Festival, including three first place
ribbons and two Best of Shows. Included in the eclectic collection are a
wall hanging, a baby cap, a Christmas pillow, a wrap, and a sweater which
she said took almost a year to complete.
Susan has been knitting since she was in the fourth grade and mostly for
therapy, saying that she would not be doing it if it didn’t bring her peace of
mind. Even while she maintained the hectic schedule of a pharmaceutical
salesperson, she taught nightly knitting classes in her home for many years,
and at knit shops, with friends, through the University of Memphis at the
Jewish Community Center and, one year, made 55 Christmas stockings for
the Woman’s Exchange.
While attending a retreat in Cullman, AL, she came across a fellow
attendee who had brought a beautiful shawl which she had made. This was
the first Susan heard of knitting and providing prayer shawls for those healing and those grieving. She then returned to her Sunday School Class at
First Baptist Church and initiated a prayer shawl ministry. She later taught
knitting to the young women at high risk of losing their unborn children who
had to spend weeks or months in the Women’s Hospital at Baptist. She felt
that it was very rewarding because she heard such uplifting stories like the
one about the woman who began labor before she finished her blanket. The
night-shift nurses quickly looked up how to complete it, and then threw it to
her at the last moment as she was rolled by on the way into the delivery room.
When I asked her why we didn’t have a picture of the baby cap which
won first place in the competition she said she forgot to take a picture
before she entered it. It was not returned because it was entered in a special category which served to provide warm gifts to children at the Baptist
Children’s Home – a warm gift from a warm heart.
We are very fortunate to have Susan among us.

a message from
DOTTIE’S DIGS
First and third Thursday sale days at
Dottie’s continue to be well attended.
Along with our established “regular”
shoppers, we are seeing new faces
and it is gratifying to know that word is
getting around about the treasures and
bargains to be found at Dottie’s Digs.
The increase in number of shoppers has also multiplied our need for
donations. Furniture, handbags, winter shoes, picture frames, small electronics and kitchenware–we welcome
almost everything! Costume jewelry
is, by far, our most popular item. And
your recycled paper shopping bags
are most appreciated.
Please call me, Madelyn Altman,
with any questions you might have
about making donations to Dottie’s
Digs. Phone 338-4803 for information. Thank you for your support!
Proceeds benefit your Trezevant
Foundation.
