Toledo Museum of Art welcomes as new director of finance

The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) now has Patricia L. O’Toole as director of finance.

O’Toole, who started her position in December, will oversee the financial administration of the museum.

O’Toole previously served as the director of operations at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Perrysburg, Ohio and she also spent ten years as the director of finance at Maumee Valley Country Day School.

A volunteer’s service hours recognized by Toledo Police/Area Office on Aging How do you measure a year? “In service to others” answers Freddi Roberson. There are 8,760 hours in a single year and Freddi Roberson, over a number of years, has contributed an astounding 8,950 hours of giving back to homebound older adults and others as part of the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) Program.

ABILITY CENTER NEEDS MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DONATIONS The Ability Center’s Equipment Loan Program is seeking donations of durable medical equipment to benefit individuals living with disabilities.

If you have pieces of equipment that are no longer in use, please consider donating them to the Center, which provides equipment loaning services at no cost. Individuals may borrow equipment for up to 90 days. All items are cleaned and sanitized by the Center.

For information call 419-885-7733, www.abilitycenter.org

SAUDER VILLAGE BREAKS GROUND ON 1920S MAIN STREET PROJECT

The RSVP Program, a joint effort between the Toledo Police Department and the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, utilizes volunteers age 55 plus who are trained to check the wellbeing of homebound older adults. The once-a-week checks include, as well as checking the homes of those away on vacation, hospitalized or in rehabilitation.

Afraid of losing everything you’ve saved to the high cost of nursing care?

Sauder Village begins a new chapter in its history— breaking ground on the 1920s Main Street Project— the next phase of the Walk Through Time Experience. This new project will replicate a portion of a 1920s Main Street typical to Northwest Ohio, incorporating structures already located at Sauder Village and constructing key buildings to house businesses typical to the time period.

The Walk Through Time at Sauder Village has been developed over the past 15 years with the help of staff, volunteers, contractors and donors. Guests can experience more than 120 years of Great Black Swamp history traveling from areas titled Natives and Newcomers to the Pioneer Settlement, The Grime Homestead and, soon, the 1920s Main Street Community.

The discovery of glass as a serious artistic medium in the 1960s— dubbed the Studio Glass Movement, which originated at the Toledo Museum “Still Life with Pear.“ by Flora C. Mace of Art— was monumental. Yet and Joey Kirkpatrick in its earliest decades, women faced an uphill battle in their demand for fair recognition of their contributions and work. In Fired Up: Contemporary Glass by Women Artists, more than 50 objects showcase the women who now rank among the most innovative and celebrated glass artists.

Drawn from the Toledo Museum of Art’s renowned glass collection, with notable loans from private collectors, the works document nearly six decades of underappreciated influence, from the art that helped women forge a path in the Studio Glass Movement of the ’60s to the ingenuity of 21st-century installations. The exhibition is sponsored by O-I, Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, the Ohio Arts Council, and funds received in the memory of Dr. Edward A. and Mrs. Rita Barbour Kern.

Through March 18, Glass Pavilion Galleries 2 and 3. Free admission. toledomuseum.org

Ever wonder where all of those novelty and gift products you see in the stores come from? An entrepreneur right here in Toledo, Mark Feldstein began his company basically as a oneman show, setting up as a manufacturer’s representative organization which specialized in hand-held electronics.

Over time Feldstein realized that the real potential for the business was in developing clever gadgets and gimmick novelty and gift products.

That meant traveling to the area of the world where 90 percent of electronics are manufactured, East Asia. He learned that the importer, is at the mercy of the manufacturer. Quality products, timely deliveries, competitive pricing and strong packaging were just some of the obstacles that needed to be tackled head on to survive in the highly competitive market.

A clock that sings

The first “home run” for Feldstein’s company, Mark Feldstein & Associates, came with the introduction of the Original Singing Bird Clock. On one of his trips abroad, Feldstein met with a manufacturer of clocks. He was shown a clock that featured a scene of birds flying in the background. Feldstein knew that there was potential for this product with birdwatching exploding February 2018

around the world, but he needed time to come up with ideas to make this clock unique. Aligning himself with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Feldstein developed a clock with 12 North American birds and live authentic bird song recordings that would play at the top of each hour. The end result— the Original Singing Bird Clock— is MFA’s largest-selling item to date, with over 8 million sold.

Other inventive ideas

Whether it is the popular Galileo Thermometer, Illuminator No Battery/No Bulb Flashlight or Flameless LED Candles, Feldstein has a knack for identifying unique items that will sell. According to Feldstein, the “Sam’s Club” customer is different from the “QVC” customer who is also different from the “Rite Aid” customer.

He does not attempt to sell a “line,” but rather targets a few products that he believes are correct for each retailer.

As the business continues to grow, Feldstein employs people who have the ability to complement his own skills.

He empowers them to develop and maintain the infrastructure to support the expanding business, allowing him to devote time to new product development and customer sales.

g n i t Daover 50 What is a ? woman to doMLS

rabtree,

By Pamela C

W

hat is your preference?

Sex vs. love? Fifty Shades of Grey vs. An Affair to Remember?

Abstinence vs. promiscuity? Quite a kerfuffle, but a relevant one if you are a woman and looking for love in all the right places. Contrary to modern mores, there is a difference between having sex and making love.

In an article published in Psychology Today by Dr. Elliot D. Cohen, Ph.D. comparing sex and love, he writes “… When one merely has sex, one perceives the other as an object of pleasure”. …But, love-making is unifying…. So the questions remain should I or shouldn’t I look for love and where will I find it?

One approach “Barbara” (a pseudonym), an 84-year-old retired driving instructor, lives in Toledo and has experienced both a divorce and widowhood.

She comments on sexual freedom when dating, “I’m from the old country and pretty careful,” she said.

“I don’t believe in dating this one, that one and the other one. If I go with somebody, that’s it. Be careful; there are a lot of crazy people out there.

You want to choose the best; you don’t want just anybody.” Barbara also said she wouldn’t seek the services of an online dating site: “I’m not that desperate.”

Online dating

sites Which brings forth the question of when should a woman register on an online dating site or, more importantly, where should a woman safely look for love and a new beau or mate?

An online dating site is a “system that enables strangers to find and introduce themselves to new personal connections over the internet, usually with the goal of developing personal, romantic, or sexual relationships.”

So the question remains: Should I or shouldn’t I use an online dating service? With over 2,500 online dating sites available, the need for a woman to do her due diligence is crucial.

According to the Top Ten Reviews site (toptenreviews.com/services/ home/best-online-dating-sites/), the best overall sites are Match, okcupid, eHarmony and Tinder.

According to eHarmony, some of the pros of online dating: n 40

percent of Americans have tried online dating

n Dating

sites match based on compatibility and personality

n You

meet people you might not have ever crossed paths with

n One

out of five relationships start online

And some cons: n It’s

a crowded digital space

n Yes,

people do lie on their profiles

n It’s

hard to evaluate a match without any physical interaction

n Your

best chance is still meeting through a friend

Tara Johnson, 44, a divorced mother of nine (with one son serving in the Army and one in the Marines) who lives in Toledo, said “Dating is a great thing, but the problem with me is I continue to meet liars and people that are unfaithful, and they’re always hiding something. It’s a great thing if you can find someone that is genuine, honest and true.”

“I have never used a dating site but I think about it. I do use e-verify because I trust no one,” Johnson said, adding that she wouldn’t be so “nitpicky” if it there weren’t children in her home.

Three perspectives Three perspectives on looking for love from three women. But did these women give an answer to the kerfuffle, the difference between having sex and making love? Yes each did, in their own way: Barbara described herself as oldfashioned and didn’t believe “in dating this one, that one and the other one” and said, “If I go with somebody that’s it.”

Tara Johnson said she would “definitely wait. It’s called having morals, having respect. It’s the proper thing to do. I need some time to get to know you before I jump to the big one.”

Searcy said, “It’s dependent on the person in the relationship. We all have our preferences, there are different types of relationships and as long as the people are on the same page, understand and are transparent that’s entirely up to them.”

Be comfortable when stepping out with looks that make you confident

Think simple

ou have butterflies in your stomach as that first date night approaches. What to wear? Should you get a whole new look?

Dating experts say to ‘keep it simple.’ Wear what you normally wear and feel confident about it.

Another piece of advice is to dress for the event. The jeans you wore all week don’t belong on a dinner date. Also, a casual night out is not the time to wear that little back dress.

We put together some first date looks from local boutiques— you will look fabulous in any one of them.

Michelle Searcy, 42, of Luckey, Ohio, a human systems engineer and a divorced mother of one son, used the online dating service Match for a short period of time. “I would never do it again,” she said. “You put all of your criteria on Match to identify what you’re looking for. However, anyone can basically obtain your profile even if they’re not a match. They look great on paper, but you don’t really get to see who the person actually is.”

As far as dating, Johnson said, “I like to go to a nice restaurant where I’m around a lot of people or I have gone to church. I lean more towards the religious type people.”

Searcy said, “I prefer having coffee somewhere in a public place. I don’t care for movies because you don’t get to interact with a person.”

What’s a guy to do dating at 55?

By Chris Watson

I

had no intention of “dating” again.

However, I was 55, suddenly single, and facing a very different world. My last official date, if you assume engagement as a line of demarcation, was during the Bush administration. The first one.

Things have changed Two-and-a-half decades ago dating seemed simple. All it took was picking a pizza joint and asking my friends what their girlfriends thought would be a “good date movie.” The only real awkward moment was what to order on the pizza, and I knew enough to let her choose the toppings. There were no video dates. No breakfast, brunch, lunch, or afternoon coffee dates. No workout dates, no grandkids-have-aperformance-tonight dates, no speed dates, and no internet-search-enginesthat-tout-the-best-technology-to-

match-two-people-in-the-world dates.

Navigating this territory has a definite learning curve. However, as someone who is still plying the waters, I have learned a few things along the way.

Everyone is in the same boat The hardest thing a guy has to remember is that everyone is in the same boat. No one has any kind of advantage.

Things are just as awkward for you as they are for everyone else. Most of the single people my age that I meet feel the same hesitation and insecurity as I do.

And not just the men, but the women as well.

That equalizer— the feeling that no one has more experience in the brave new dating world— can be a relief. It is also a great conversation topic. My very first foray into online dating was an afternoon cup of coffee. I looked right

We all have history Back when I dated before, you could fit my history on one side of a threeby-five card: where I went to school, where I worked, whether I thought my parents were cool or a pain. Whomever I was dating had pretty much the same history. It made the “Tell me about yourself” portion of the date last about 5 minutes.

Today is very different. I have a history that includes jobs, family, a former spouse, and an ex-girlfriend or two.

These details are not trivial. However, hiding and/or avoiding our histories is both foolish and unhealthy. After all, the person sitting across the table has a past as well.

The substantive fact about dating post 50 is that these individual histories both exist in the past and color the present.

If I have learned anything, it’s that our histories will come out in time, and we should take that time to talk about our past. Guys, don’t clam up. Be honest and tell your story. Then listen to hers.

Discard expectations Dating when I was younger was replete with expectations. I was convinced I had

a “type” that was right for me. In my youthful and inexperienced mind, there was a certain person for me and I knew how that person acted, what she looked like, what her tastes in music were and even what she did for a living. That foolishness was fine during our twenties but is radically out of place now.

It isn’t that I have lowered my expectations. Rather, I am trying to discard expectations altogether, which is no easy task. After all, my only experience with what constitutes as “dating” is 25 years old.

Coffee in between appointments is a date. Unexpected lunch at a diner is a date. Breakfast, and nothing else, is a date. So is dinner and a movie. Or just dinner. Or seeing the movie in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday because you are tired and don’t want to be up too late. So is seeing grandkids in a school play or attending a job event where your date is receiving an award.

Any romantic notions left over from dating in my twenties are no longer realistic. Once I dropped that craziness, dating became a lot more fun.

Finally, as a guy, I try to remember that no one is good at dating later in life.

Unlike when I was in my twenties, the goal isn’t to have a great first date. That is a game for the young. The goal is to get asked out again. And yes, guys, she may very well be doing the asking.

Fun socks spark great conversation and are hugely fashionable.

The many variations of that little black dress can make dates even more fun.

Be Smart About Dating Over 50 Money issues are important

By Pat Nowak

I was widowed at 47 and the thought of dating again absolutely frightened me. When I finally ventured out to start dating again, I was surprised by the financial issues I had to consider.

When first dating after a death or divorce, you can be overwhelmed and may not pick up on signals. Your date may not be someone you want to build a life with.

It is best to cut the ties early with a potential mate dealing with financial issues.

Beware if: He/she spends money foolishly. Flashiness is a red flag. He might be trying to impress you or he might be insecure. Either way it might signal that he is irresponsible with his money. That is not a good way to begin a relationship.

He/she has huge credit card debt. Life happens and often divorce or death causes financial issues, for a while. But long-term debt can destroy a marriage. The time to find out is before the nuptials.

Look for the signs: credit cards being refused for a purchase, using multiple credit cards on one transaction, asking if you can cover the bill because of a forgotten wallet, receiving calls from collection agencies.

His/her employment status is sketchy.

Did he or she lose a job once? This can happen to anyone. But if he is always between jobs, or if she is continually looking or complaining about the company, it could be a pattern which could cause issues after

you make a commitment.

After all, those who are not reliable employees will likely not be reliable mates.

You have different attitudes on spending.

If you save aluminum foil and he thinks going to Bali for three weeks is no big deal, you need to have a talk. As future mates you need to be on the same page about financial matters to succeed, especially if the goal is to combine finances. You need to know your compatibility before you head to the altar.

How you work the math out should be amenable to both of you. However, if one party has a huge income or large assets, it might be wise to consult an attorney about a prenuptial agreement.

You notice that he/she is high maintenance. The signs are there: showy cars, designer

brands, first class all the way. If you don’t have the means to keep up, then perhaps it is time to consider a partner who is less materialistic.

8

Talk about it.

You need to discuss money!

Obviously not on the first date but certainly before you get into a committed relationship. Talking about money does not come easy, especially if you have some financial skeletons in your closet. The future success of your relationship depends on open and honest dialogue about finances. If your new paramour is dodging questions, or changing the subject, it might be time to walk away.

Some questions to pursue: Are you in debt? The issue will always be the size of the number; a little debt is to be expected.

What is your credit score? Ask them to share their credit report; it is a straightforward picture of one’s financial situation.

What investments do you have? If there are none, it might be a bad sign.

What is your practice regarding budgeting/saving? The idea here is to see if your future

mate’s standards match yours.

Everyone wants to live happily ever after. Beginning a new relationship should always leave you breathless, in a good way. Bad financial coupling will not allow

AQUATIC THERAPY

• Take Control in 2018 in our 94° heated rehab pool • Helps arthritis, balance/falls and chronic pain issues

By Tom Cole There’s a line from a song sung by Alice Cooper called “King of the Silver Screen” that goes, “Hollywood movies keep flashing through my mind, could have been Valentino if I was born in another time.”

I have no illusions on the Valentino bit. Maybe “Fatino” would work for me; but Hollywood movies are always flashing through my mind. There are old movies that I have seen seemingly hundreds of times, yet when they come on I watch them again, every time.

I know these movies so well I can recite the dialogue. I could direct and block out the scenes, and, of course, I know the endings by heart.

Like an old friend

A good old movie is like an old friend who comes to visit. You enjoy the company and you don’t want him to leave. Have you ever used a line from an old movie in real-life conversation? I have modified dialogue and used it— “You’re a natural, but it takes more than that….” from the Robert Redford movie The Natural. Did you ever try to think up better endings to a good old movie? I have. In Top Gun I wanted “Goose” to live. I thought he was the best character.

I have seven favorite movies, and I’ll bet you have your list too. When they

come on the screen they are a mustwatch, no matter what. Here are my seven, in no particular order. n The Natural with Robert Redford n The Burbs with Tom Hanks n Rio Lobo with John Wayne n Joe Kidd with Clint n Eastwood and Robert Duvall n High Plains Drifter

n Fracture with Anthony

Hopkins and Ryan Gosling n American Graffiti with Richard Dreyfuss and Ron Howard

Those are my seven, plus every Errol Flynn movie ever made. What are yours? Hollywood movies keep flashing through my mind.

Testing for addiction

Path to addiction

In the July 2014 issue of JAMA Psychiatry, Dr. T.J. Cicero describes a significant change in the path that opiate-abusers take on their way to addiction. In the 1960s most heroin addicts began their addiction by using heroin, while presently 75 percent of future heroin addicts get their start with a prescription. Abusers obtain their prescription opiates from a physician, a friend or a street contact. Addicts shift from prescription drugs to heroin or fentanyl because the heroin/fentanyl high is more intense, the street drugs are easier to obtain, and they are significantly less expensive.

Current medication prescribing methods involve a process of trial and error, as doctors are not certain which pharmaceutical treatment a patient may respond to, often resulting in delayed recovery, increased costs and negative reactions with other drugs.

Testing to predict

ChromoCare, based in Columbus, Ohio, completes genetic testing prior to opioids being prescribed. Establishing a significant role in coping with prescription compatibility, techniques have been developed which combat heroin/fentanyl and trial and error medication problems.

ChromoCare’s ChromALERT addiction risk score is based on analysis of specific genes in an individual.

Analysis of a cheek swab sample from a patient can aid in determining the risk that patient has of becoming addicted to opiate-based painkillers. If it is determined that the patient has

February 2018

a high risk of becoming addicted, an alternative painkiller can be prescribed, exposing fewer patients to the risk of opiate addiction.

Deb Flores, Acting CEO of the Zepf Center The use of genetic testing for addiction, according to data provided, detects who’s at the greatest risk of developing substance-use disorders.

These quick tests— with just a swab inside the mouth— are becoming vital and will allow doctors to quickly access how a patient will respond to opioid and non-opioid medications, including the risk of dependency.

G.A.P Testing (genetic assisted prescribing) is used to determine the appropriate pharmaceutical drug and dose to best meet the needs of patients across a number of medical conditions. Using the G.A.P test greatly reduces the need for trial/error prescribing and its negative potential outcomes.

The G.A.P Test allows physicians to identify a patient who will receive pain relief from opiates. Some individuals (less than 20 percent) do not receive effective pain relief from opiates due to their genetics. If an opiate cannot be processed properly by the body to allow the pain-killing properties of the drug to function, alternative non-opiate medications can be used. Careful and directed prescribing decreases the risk of addiction.

What can I do about my thinning hair?

By Stephen Roberts, Ph.D. In America, 75 percent of heroin addicts got their start with a prescription opiate. Opioids are the primary cause of overdose deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine there were, “20,101 overdose deaths related to prescription pain relievers, and 12,990 overdose deaths related to heroin in 2015.”

D E R M AT O L O G I S T

Have a question for Dr. Molenda?

There is an exciting new treatment called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) where a simple blood draw allows your boardcertified dermatologist to extract growth factors from your blood, and inject them close to the hair follicle to promote hair growth. Since healthy hair follicles under the skin require good circulation and proper “nutrition,” PRP augments that necessary “nutrition” and can achieve dramatic results in halting hair loss and rejuvenating thinning hair, especially when combined with other treatments (such as a topical minoxidil to improve circulation). Fortunately, the vast majority of hair thinning is age-related, stress related, or due to changes in hormones -- all of which alter the nutritional state of the hair follicle. Most patients with thinning hair are a candidate for this exciting new treatment, as long as their hair thinning is not related to an inflammatory or scarring disorder.

Can I have skin cancer if I don’t feel pain or discomfort?

Yes. In fact, most skin cancer has no sensory symptoms at all unless it is a deeper skin cancer affecting a nearby nerve.

Fortunately, most skin cancers that are caught early do not affect the nerves. That said, there are other symptoms to look out for. Common symptoms involving a lesion that could be skin cancer include: easy bleeding, fragile tissue, growing, thick scale, ulceration. In addition, be on the lookout for moles/ brown spots or growths on the skin that have one or more of the following characteristics (commonly known as the “ABCDE’s of Melanoma”): Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color changes, Diameter bigger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving or changing.

If you have any area of your skin that meets these criteria, I recommend making an appointment with board-certified dermatologist immediately.

Dini ng out Tandoor

Quality cuisine a family affair

By Jeff McGinnis Decorative umbrellas hang from the ceiling at Tandoor Cuisine of India, providing the small dining area with a splash of color. They have no special cultural significance — except, of course, to Tandoor’s customers.

“We took the umbrellas off for, I think, two days. And customers said, ‘Gasp! What have you done with the umbrellas?’ So we brought the umbrellas back,” said Rajwinder Kaur of Tandoor.

Preserving that sense of familiarity with their customers is crucial for Kaur and other members of the Nath family, which owns and operates Tandoor. Bringing authentic Northern Indian cuisine to Toledo diners is a as personal and friendly experience.

“It’s a pretty small, intimate place. My parents cook, and we run the front.”

Kaur explains.

For Kaur and her siblings, Tandoor is truly a family affair. Her parents, Ram Nath and Kamla Devi, have owned the restaurant for over 20 years, where members of the Nath family have made up the majority of the staff. The restaurant is a second home for family members long before they work there.

“I’m 24 now, and there are customers who have been coming since I was in grade school, and they would help me with my homework,” said Parminder Banga, Kaur’s younger sister, currently a Tandoor waitress.

Generational appeal has kept diners remarkably loyal to the Naths and Tandoor over the past two decades.

“We have a regular (customer), who we call Mr. Paul. He drives from Defiance,” Kaur said. “He’s retired, he comes Thursday through Sundays.”

The Fare The communal nature of Indian cuisine fits in well with the restaurant’s family theme. A tandoor is a traditional Indian clay oven, used by members of the community to prepare breads for their own homes. An authentic version resides in Tandoor’s kitchen.

Ram Nath prepares food in it every day for his clientele.

Among the restaurant’s most popular dishes are Tikka Masala, in both chicken and vegetarian versions, the traditional Naan breads (infused with flavors such as garlic and cilantro), and Kheer (rice pudding— see recipe at right) or Mango pudding for dessert, along with a wide variety of vegan options.

“We always had vegan dishes, but we’d never really mentioned them before now, and that’s becoming more popular. And most of our dishes are gluten-free,” Kaur said.

New diners often approach Indian food with a wary eye. “The first thing that people are wary of is the spice level. Everybody assumes that it will be hot. But we make it mild, medium or hot— or we could make it extremely hot, if you’d like,” Kaur said.

The Atmosphere Tandoor’s dining area is small, adding to the feeling of intimacy. The colorful table and wall decorations contrast with low lighting, making for a relaxed, almost soothing, dining experience.

It’s an atmosphere that the Nath family has kept consistent throughout its ownership, the brief removal of the umbrellas notwithstanding. The only significant changes in the Tandoor approach lie in the internet age and efforts are spearheaded by young Parminder. “Since she’s been working here, she’s trying to make changes, like incorporating Facebook, Instagram and our website,” Kaur said.

Kheer

(Rice Pudding) Preparation

• Rinse the starch from ¼ cup

basmati rice until the water runs

clear, and then soak in water for 30 minutes.

• Blanch 15-20 almonds in a small

pan by bring water to a boil.

Remove from heat and add the almonds, cover, and set aside for 30 minutes until cool enough to peel.

• Rinse 1 tablespoon golden raisins

and powder 5-6 green cardamom pods with a mortar-pestle. Set both aside.

Fresh food, no preservatives or chemicals, large portions and friendly staff!

The Bottom Line

Tandoor is that rare combination of exotic and comforting, offering authentic Indian fare with a presentation that makes diners of any culture feel right at home.

Making the Pudding 1. Bring 1 liter full-fat organic milk to a boil.

2. Reduce the flame and add the prepared rice. Stir and simmer.

3. Add 5 to 6 tablespoons sugar and continue to stir often to prevent lumps from forming.

4. After 25 minutes of cooking the rice, add the almonds and cardamom powder.

5. Continue cooking the rice until soft and the pudding has thickened.

6. Remove from heat, add the raisins, and then serve your kheer hot or warm.

Collingwood Beauty

By Pat Nowak The grandeur of the turn of the 20th century is being recreated in the former Ford Mansion on Collingwood Avenue. Purchased three years ago by Chuck Madrigal and Finley Gleason (pictured above, left to right), they expect their labor of love to take 15 more years to complete, asbestos, in paint and old wallpaper, has created significant delay with the work. The 15,500 sq ft. home will be magnificent when finished and rooms that have already been renovated are quite stunning.

The home has eight fireplaces, eight bathrooms and four kitchens.

The music room (formerly the billiard room), the dining area and the living and den areas are beautifully adorned with original flame mahogany and the gorgeous hardwood floors have been refinished.

Furnishing this huge home is exciting for the duo as they want to maintain the integrity of the building with thoughtful touches of their own. The stylish furnishings reflect much of the original splendor.

Gleason and Madrigal have also purchased the former Knight Mansion next door which they hope to turn into a community center. The thoughtfulness adhered to in the renovating process is admirable— we can’t wait to see the finished project.
