From Arna's Brother

There was a time when our grandson Thomas was hesitant to draw pictures. I think I recognized the problem immediately as the burden of having an accomplished big sister. (Thomas' sister, Emma, like her mother and grandmother, is an accomplished artist.) I think Thomas is proud when Emma wins awards for her art and I have always been proud of my big sister's accomplishments.
For many years all of our longer conversations that started out to be about our family morphed into a discussion of what was going on at the DCJCC.
It is a joy for me to know that Arna found meaningful and important work and it is a joy to know that she found a community that understood what a treasure they had in her leadership.
