In April, Bishop Gadsden was proud to an-
nounce the Generous Spirit Program. A new pilot
program, the Generous Spirit Program provides the
opportunity to involve Bishop Gadsden residents
and staff in programs that affect the greater Charles-
ton community, while also documenting the volun-
teer work that is already occurring by our residents.
Residents who currently partici-
pate in volunteer programs, both in-
side and outside of Bishop Gadsden,
are encouraged to complete a Gener-
ous Spirit Report. These reports are
available at the activity table outside
the Pub and can be completed after
each volunteer activity, or on a
monthly, quar-
terly or yearly ba-
sis. In June, the
reports will also
be available on
the Bishop Gadsden website.
Examples of volunteer activities
that are applicable to the Gen-
erous Spirit Program include
volunteering in Eliza’s Attic or
the Village Shop, serving on
committees for Bishop Gads-
den, as well as for other non-
profit organizations, work you
do within your church or any
volunteer activity that supports
the greater Charleston commu-
nity.

Volume 232
Resident volunteer activities beginning
April 1st will be compiled, and the hope is that
we will be able to announce your overall vol-
unteer hours in our 2009 Annual Report. By
your participation in the completion of Gen-
erous Spirit Reports, you are helping to sup-
port our social accountability, while not re-
quired to donate any monetary
contributions.
In addition to your indi-
vidual work, Bishop Gadsden
will also be offering opportuni-
ties for residents and staff to be
able to volunteer together. As
part of Bishop Gadsden’s com-
mitment to this new program,
staff may be able to earn time-
off for volunteer activities, a
benefit modeled after many
other corporate giving pro-
grams. The April Generous Spirit Activity was
volunteering and attending a Charleston
Miracle League Game. What an experience it
was for those in attendance – especially when
we realized that BG staff member, Karen
McNeil’s own grandson was on the very
team we were assisting – The Red Sox!
In May, we will be celebrating Well-
ness Week and bringing residents from the
Canterbury House and The Ansonborough
House over for our Wellness Walk. Residents
and staff will be encour-

In uncertain economic
times such as these, it is a
great reassurance to have the
operations, financial stability
and vision of the organization
affirmed. Bishop Gadsden re-
cently had this good fortune.
Of over 2000 retirement
communities in the U. S., only 152 have invest-
ment-grade-rated bond financing. Bishop Gads-
den is one of these. Fitch Ratings, in recent
weeks, has once again affirmed our ―BBB‖ rating
and predicted our outlook to be ―stable.‖ It is a
major accomplishment to achieve this affirmation
from a major rating agency such as Fitch at any-
time, but even more so in today’s volatile econ-
omy. The press release sent out by Fitch states:
―The affirmation is supported by Bishop Gads-
den’s strong demand, dominant market position,
strong liquidity relative to expenses, and stable
core operations….The Stable Rating Outlook re-
flects Fitch’s belief that Bishop Gadsden will con-
tinue to maintain high occupancy levels which
should maintain positive operating results.
Bishop Gadsden is also undergoing renovations
at their Independent Living facilities and Health
Center in order to maintain their high-end ap-
peal…‖ To give some perspective, as a ―BBB‖
rated corporation, we are in the same category
as CBS Broadcasting, Clorox, HJ Heinz, Kraft
Foods and Xerox.
Obviously, since only about 8% of retirement
communities have investment-grade bond financ-
ing, it would not be devastating if our credit rat-
ing had not been affirmed. However, this, along
with our accreditation, is just one more way we
voluntarily seek to ensure that the confidence in
us by both investors and residents is well placed.
On another level, there is no more important
time for residents and prospective residents to
have certainty for their future. Fortunately,
Bishop Gadsden provides this plan for residents to
be members of a wonderful and vibrant commu-
nity with a marvelous quality of life—where you
can retain your individuality as you continue to
grow, learn, play and fulfill your particular
dreams and goals—and also be secure in knowing
that high-quality health care is yours should you
need it.
In uncertain times, individuals and organiza-
tions yearn for certainty wherever it can be
found. Luckily for us, Bishop Gadsden has been
―affirmed‖ in its ability to provide certainty when
it comes to financial planning and quality of life
and support for its residents.
President’s Message Bill Trawick
From the Marketing Office Laura Wilson
Have you ever wondered how people
hear about Bishop Gadsden for the first time?
How do people living in Maine and other parts
of the country hear about our beautiful commu-
nity? Being in the marketing department, I find
that my curiosity is always piqued!
More and more people are learn-
ing about Bishop Gadsden through our website—
www.bishopgadsden.org. This enables someone
in California to take a first peak at Bishop Gads-
den as they begin researching retirement commu-
nities.
One leading source of referrals is word of
mouth. Our residents and families tell their
friends about Bishop Gadsden, the marketing de-
partment receives a call, and we go from there.
As you all know, the first step is to ―get on the
list‖ to become a Future Resident. This is a plan
for the future set by the prospective resident ac-
cording to their wishes.
It is never too early to contact the market-
ing department about becoming a Future Resi-
dent. If you would like to learn more about this
process, please call Laura Wilson at 843-406-
2525.

This year’s Wellness Walk and Expo will be held on Friday, May 22nd
and will cap off a week
of wellness activities for residents from the apartments and cottages, Myers Hall, Read Cloister and
Arcadia Close. The week starts off in style with a golf-cart (and jazzy) decorating contest and pa-
rade through the campus on Monday, May 18th at 11 am. Immediately following the parade, we
will gather in the Palm Court for a heart-healthy cookout. On Monday afternoon at 4 pm, Lynette
Franklin will present a program on Bladder and Pelvic Health.
On Tuesday morning at 9 am, we’ll parade our favorite furry friends around the horseshoe
during the Pet Parade and Look-alike Contest. At 10 am in Blackmer Hall, Community Life Services
staff will present a refresher course on the emergency phone system. Tuesday evening, we’ll stroll
through the Art Loft as our resident artists display their masterpieces during BG’s inaugural Art Walk.
Wednesday afternoon, come cheer on your favorites as Myers Hall, Cloister and Arcadia resi-
dents participate in a scavenger hunt. Wednesday evening, we’ll board the buses for a trip to ―The
Joe,‖ to see the RiverDogs take on the Lexington Legends.
On Thursday afternoon at 1 pm, Dr. Edward Rak will present a lecture on Fibromyalgia in
Blackmer Hall. Later that day, join us in the pool for a resident/staff volleyball game at 4 pm.
The grand finale occurs on Friday with the Wellness Walk at 9 am, followed by the Expo
from 9 to noon. Again this year, the Expo will feature health screenings, music and door prizes.
Over 40 vendors are participating in this fun-filled day designed to promote healthy living and
overall wellness for all ages!
Bishop Gadsden at Prayer
Each Thursday at noon, there is a powerful service in the chapel that lasts only 10-15 minutes.
Never underestimate the power of prayer even in a short period of time. The service itself is ecumeni-
cal, and all residents are welcomed.
Everyone is welcome to place names on the list of those for whom you request prayers. The
clipboards on which to write your prayer request(s) are located in the following areas:
Outside the Morse Activity Room (on the table)
In the staff break room, located in the service hall near dining services kitchen
Temporarily outside Polly’s Pub and then permanently at the New Internet Café (once opened)
During the service, Father Russ offers prayers, a Psalm and Old Testament lessons and he then
reads the names that have been put on the lists. There is a time of silence when participants may offer
their own petitions and/or thanksgivings either aloud or silently.
Many times there are only 2-4 people present. I would urge you to attend when convenient.
Since it is at lunch time, the brevity of the service will afford one time for eating. If you have placed a
name on the list, you, too, will benefit from attending the service.
At the end of the service, Father Russ will invite those who wish to participate to come near
the altar rail for a laying of the hands and unction (anointing). I find this
midweek service very meaningful. It gives me a sense of community to be a part of the group. It also
keeps me aware of the needs of others.

BG All-American Family by General Tommy Thorne
Lee, known as Bud, and Jeri Reynold's son is presently a Captain in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps stationed in Charles-ton. He plans to retire on May 2, 2009 and live in Charleston.
Lee requested that his retirement ceremony be held aboard the USS Yorktown ,anchored permanently at the Patriot's Point Museum in Mt. Pleasant, because his father was stationed aboard the Yorktown for two years (1963 & 1964) during the Vietnam War. Lee was C ommand i n g O ff i c e r, He l i c o p -ter Squadron 4, and participated in two operations there. His mission was primarily Anti-Submarine Warfare.

aged to pair up with our visitors and walk our
community with them. In June, we hope to vol-
unteer at the Island Oaks Senior Living Center on
Johns Island – there will be more information in
the June Gab on this Generous Spirit Activity.
The Generous Spirit Program will also be
working to improve the internal BG volunteer
program – currently known as Samaritans of Ser-
vice. The hope is to announce some exciting
new changes that have been brought forth by
residents themselves and to have a new program
in place by the fall. If you have any suggestions
on our internal volunteer program, please con-
tact Margaret Kunes at 843.406.2454.
The Bishop Gadsden Generous Spirit Pro-
gram is being managed by the Office of Devel-
opment and Public Relations. If you have any
suggestions on how we can improve this pilot
program or have an idea on a future Generous
Spirit Activity, please let me know. I can be
reached at 843.406.6334.
We know that you are doing great things,
and now we will be able to truly tell the story of
your contributions through the Bishop Gadsden
Generous Spirit Program. And if it has been
awhile since you have volunteered your time,
we are happy to offer you some new opportuni-
ties for sharing your time
and talent. Join us in
becoming a member of
the Generous Spirit Pro-
gram; tee shirts are still
available and offer a
great way to show the
community the contribu-
tions you, your fellow
residents and members
of the BG staff are mak-
ing, as together, we
reach out with a
generous spirit!

Meet the Staff: Ilene Lewinsohn & Sherline Lawson Taki Andriadis
Trends in Senior Living Sarah Tipton
We have two new members in Bishop
Gadsden’s Financial Operations. They are Ilene
Lewinsohn and Shirleen Lawson, and both joined
BG two months ago.
Ilene Lewinsohn’s new position at BG is
Assistant Controller. Born in the Bronx, NYC,
Ilene graduated with a Master’s degree in Sociol-
ogy from William Paterson University in Wayne,
NJ. Her business experience includes managing a
bookstore and working in her father’s trucking
company as dispatcher and Director of Financial
operations for 12 years. Ilene also worked for
Expedite Transportation Company which, for
business reasons, had to re-
locate to Charleston in
2006. Three years later, BG
is reaping the benefit of that
move.
Many members of
her family still live in The
Bronx, and Ilene misses
them and Manhattan both.
Sherline’s job as Accounting Technician at
BG includes accounts payable and cash manage-
ment. She was born at Cheverly, near Baltimore,
MD. After graduating, she worked as a hostess
at IHop. She then joined Bowie State U’s book-
store, in MD, and worked in the Accounting De-
partment. Two years later, Sherline joined ABSS,
a computer and technology recruitment com-
pany, where she stayed for nine years. She later
joined NECA, and she and her husband lived
their dream of moving south when NECA relo-
cated to Charleston.
The couple has
four children: two girls
and two boy s —
Christopher 12; Ariel,
eight; Kaia, three and
David, Jr., one. David
works for a suburban
disposal company in
Summerville.
This month, our state association of not-
for-profit retirement communities held its annual
conference jointly with the Georgia state associa-
tion in Augusta. I attended a very interesting ses-
sion on the state of the senior-living industry, pre-
sented by Katherine Brod with Ziegler, our invest-
ment banking firm. As the investment banking
firm with the largest presence in the senior living
market, Zeigler is in a unique position to collect
data about our field.
Of course, much of the data was what you
would expect to hear: the downturn in residen-
tial real estate has weakened occupancy at senior-
living communities throughout the country. Fitch
has downgraded the industry outlook from stable
to negative. There is more acquisition activity in
the CCRC market than ever.
But not all the trends are gloomy. On the
contrary, many items were not only encouraging,
but affirmed that Bishop Gadsden’s down-to-
business response on many fronts will help us
weather the storm. According to Ziegler, we
are among the proactive providers who are: in-
vigorating occupancy through marketing incen-
tives; carefully monitoring operational costs and
enhancing cash-flow opportunities; working
with educational institutions to attract high-
quality staff; accelerating a ―market‖ approach
to health care through attention to resident-
directed care initiatives; focusing wellness initia-
tives to promote successful aging and reinvent-
ing, renovating, and keeping facilities updated
and marketable.
Through these efforts, we’re well posi-
tioned to emerge ahead of the curve. Many
thanks to all of you for your great ideas to re-
duce, save, enhance and strengthen our commu-
nity.

From a family with long roots in Charleston, Frances Schachte Wilson has become a model of
adaptation to the Bishop Gadsden lifestyle. She attended parochial elementary school and graduated
from Memminger High School.
Completing her education at the College of Charleston when it had 300 students, Frances has
watched with mixed emotions as it has grown to 12,000.
Frances married Charles Wilson who was an officer of the largest construction company in the
local area. Her family grew to six children, fifteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
Active in a Bible study group and an eight-member bridge club, Frances also finds time for
bridge at Kiawah where she has a condominium.
Meet your Neighbor: Polly Martschink Barbara Tuck
Polly Martschink was born at home in
North Charleston on an April Friday. She has
memories of a happy childhood. Her Dad had
a pharmacy where he’d get the NY papers, and
he’d bring them home to Polly and
her three sisters who’d share the NY
funnies with the whole neighbor-
hood. Polly and her sisters spent
summers in Pendleton with their
Mama’s sister and grandparents who
had a big, rambling two-story house
with porches all the way around
and a sleeping porch. They had pic-
nics in the mountains, swam at
nearby Lake Boscobel and went on
hayrides.
Polly loved to dance and
spent her teens and early twenties at
house parties at the beach, fraternity parties
and dances at the Citadel, Clemson and Caro-
lina. She first went to Winthrop and transferred
to Carolina after two years. In 1944, Polly’s
cousin invited her to June Week at West Point,
and Glenn Miller played for the Hop. General
Eisenhower’s son was in that graduation class,
and his Mom Mamie was there.
Unexpected publicity came to Polly by
way of a photo she had given to a friend BiIly
Cox before he went overseas. Somehow it fell
into the hands of the 35th Tank Battalion in
Landau, Germany. They toasted Polly’s picture
as the Happiness Girl. One of the soldiers
mailed her photo to a Columbia studio. Soon
after, Polly’s photo was on the front page of
the State with the story of how she had capti-
vated the hearts of the soldiers in Germany.
The first time Polly saw her future hus-
band, Frederick John Martschink II (Frickie for
short), he was in a tux on his way to
a debutante dance with a date. But
the two soon went sailing on the
Ashley River and fell in love. Frickie,
whose college years were interrupted
by the war, finished at The Citadel in
April of 1948 and gave Polly a dia-
mond ring that same day.
Frickie was in real estate. He
was on City Council for the 16 years
that John Palmer Gaillard Jr. was
Mayor. The couple had two boys—
Frickie and Miles. For fun, they went
sailing on their cabin cruiser and also went up to
the mountains. Polly volunteered at the Gibbes
where she taught in the Junior Gallery, along
with celebrated artists Corrie McCallum Halsey,
Anne Worsham Richardson and others.
Polly has four grandchildren—Frickie’s
three daughters and Miles’ son. The eldest, Mere-
dith, is having a baby—Polly’s first great-
grandbaby! And Sarah, who has an engineering
degree from Clemson, is getting married in June.
Peg has a Master’s in Sports Management and
Medicine and works at American U. Miles’ son,
Miles, is a freshman at Old Dominion in Norfolk,
VA where he’s on the sailing team.
Here at BG, Polly enjoys art classes, con-
certs and lectures. She’s happy to have her
younger sister Ruth in Independent Living.

Phone Testing
We will now start testing your emergency
phone in the apartments and cottages twice a
year thanks to a great suggestion by a resident.
We are currently testing them once a year, but
we felt this was a way for us to step up and
show our continued commitment to safety.
Please see the testing schedule below. You do
not need to be present in order for us to test
your emergency system.
In addition to testing the pendant twice a
year, we will also test the emergency phone
when a resident is returning from the hospital
or a temporary stay in Read Cloister as an extra
safety measure.
There will be a refresher course on the
emergency phones offered during Wellness
Week on Tuesday, May 19th at 10:00 am in
Blackmer Hall. If you have any questions or con-
cerns please feel free to contact Helen Hamer at
406-6600.

new birth. More than 160 congregants shared in
the event and welcomed her ―into the household
of God‖ (Book of Common Prayer, page 308).
The Paschal or Easter candle that stands
next to the font is a symbol of Christ’s resurrec-
tion and his passage from death to life, from
darkness to light. According to the Prayer Book,
―it is customary that the Paschal Candle burn at
all services from Easter Day through the Day of
Pentecost‖ (page 287). Easter is, therefore, a
fifty-day feast ending on the Day of Pentecost,
which became a secondary date for baptism as
Christianity grew after the time of Emperor Con-
stantine.
Before we celebrate Pentecost, we will ob-
serve the next major feast of the Church which is
Ascension Thursday on May 21 at 10:30 a.m. in
the chapel. Please join us!
Easter, the commemo-
ration of the resurrection of
Jesus Christ, is the most im-
portant celebration of the
Church. The early Christians
only baptized converts to the
faith at sunrise on Easter and
believed that, through the im-
mersion in the waters of bap-
tism, a person participated in the death, burial
and resurrection of Jesus. In keeping with that
very ancient custom, the worshippers in our
chapel witnessed a baptism this Easter Sunday.
You may recall from a past issue of the
GAB that back in November, residents Jim and
Betty Scott donated a beautiful marble baptismal
font for use in our chapel, in which their great
granddaughter was baptized. On Easter Sunday,
Lexi Irene, daughter of Jonna Cook, nursing su-
pervisor in Myers Hall, received the sacrament of
