Revisioning Senior Healthcare:

A Better Way to Care

At Trezevant, a key component of our strategic vision is to be the best choice for senior living in Memphis, Shelby County, and the Mid-South. That’s why we are revisioning how healthcare is delivered to seniors — focusing on better outcomes, a simpler experience, and care that always preserves personal dignity. Our goals are straightforward: remove complexity, reduce stress, and create an environment where residents feel confident, respected, and fully supported in every stage of care. At the heart of this transformation is the renovation of the Allen Morgan Health and Rehabilitation Center, the cornerstone of Trezevant’s healthcare services. This comprehensive update is designed to enhance comfort, improve clinical efficiency, and create a more welcoming and intuitive care environment. The result will be a better experience not only for our residents, but for

all seniors in the area who rely on our services. By improving workflows and modernizing care spaces, our clinical teams can spend less time managing systems and more time doing what matters most — caring for people. Learning from the challenges of the pandemic, we are also strengthening our infection‑control capabilities. The enhanced Allen Morgan Center will have the capacity to operate two dedicated infection isolation units. This allows us to care for residents with infectious symptoms safely and compassionately, while protecting the health and wellbeing of the broader community — and without disrupting daily life for those who are well.

Adding to this integrated approach, the Enhanced Wellness Clinic officially opened in April 2026. This new on‑campus physician clinic gives residents immediate access to a dedicated team of physicians who know Trezevant and know the resident. Working closely with our existing services, these physicians can manage care more proactively, reduce unnecessary hospital visits, and provide a seamless healthcare experience close to home. Our new healthcare team is guiding all these efforts. Under the direction of Rachel Siddall, Director of Healthcare Services, Trezevant has assembled one of the strongest healthcare teams in Memphis and the Mid‑South — professionals who share a commitment to excellence, compassion, and resident‑first care. At Trezevant, revisioning healthcare isn’t about technology alone. It’s about creating a better, more human experience — one that delivers exceptional care while honoring independence, comfort, and dignity every day. — Kent Phillips, CEO

Preparedness is another key part of dignity‑centered care. That’s why Trezevant is upgrading its emergency stand‑by power generation systems to deliver full

Our new BOARD CHAIR brings a head for BUSINESS, a heart for SERVICE, and love for TREZEVANT

By John Gaskill

He initially worked at First Tennessee Bank before moving into community banking, where his passion lies. He also worked for the startup Cordova Bank. Later he recruited a valued group of local organizers to found First Alliance Bank, where he served 20 years as CEO until its merger with Guaranty Bank, where he recently retired.

“One of the things that hits me when I walk through the door is there’s a lot of positive energy,” he said. “There are a lot of nice people who live here and just a great sense of community. You just feel it.”

Hunt’s parents moved back to Memphis shortly after he and his family. After his father died, his mother later moved into Trezevant. “Mother was one of these folks who had a lot of positive energy, and she enjoyed Trezevant,” Hunt says. “When she made the decision [that] it was time to come, she moved in, and she was all in.”

Hunt’s parents were from Memphis but moved to Nashville before starting their family. Hunt, the youngest of three, grew up there and worked there during early years of his career after graduating from Emory University. Hunt and his wife Beth along with daughters Elizabeth and Martha, moved to Memphis in 1987.

Hunt’s family connection to Trezevant runs even deeper—his grandmother had been at Allen Morgan for skilled nursing care in the early days, and he had a cousin who was a resident during the time his mother was there. His mother-in-law, Anne Noble, lived at Trezevant for 15 years after moving here in 2000.

unt Campbell is a soft-spoken Southern gentleman with a charming drawl and a thoughtful manner. He’s also a banker with a keen mind for business and strategy. Those qualities will serve him well as he takes over as chair of Trezevant’s board of directors, but what ultimately makes him a perfect choice for the position is his love for the place.

“Anne moved here from Kentucky and didn’t know anyone at Trezevant,” Hunt says, “but she was happy here. She had been a music major in college, and she played organ and piano and helped with the chapel. You know, you meet half the people who live in the tower sooner or later when you’re there in church every Sunday.” So, in 2015, when Bruce Hopkins corralled him after church at St. John’s Episcopal one Sunday and urged him to join the Trezevant board, there was little hesitation. “After checking in with Beth, I enthusiastically accepted as Trezevant has a warm spot in my heart,” he said. “If you’re trying to attract talent to Memphis, and somebody has a parent who needs the benefit of a first-class retirement community, it’s a great asset to have — to hold out as, ‘this is what our community has to offer.’ We’re fortunate as a community to have Trezevant. Our goal is to nurture it and make it even stronger.”

asking questions. “The main thing I’ve tried to do is learn,” Hunt said. “I’ve done that both experientially, as a family member of residents, and through trying to plug into industry sources that can help educate me on the broader trends, what we need to be thinking about as we look down the road.” Hunt is modest about what he’s contributed to the board since he joined about five years ago — a period that has seen major upgrades to Allen Morgan and the launch of an eight-year strategic plan. But CEO Kent Phillips, who has led Trezevant since 2015, says he’s been an integral team member. “Hunt’s a creative thinker with a bit of an entrepreneurial mindset,” Kent said. “At a time when Trezevant is rethinking its approach to providing the best care possible to our Memphis seniors, while also responding to the unprecedented growth in senior housing capacity in our service area, he is uniquely qualified to guide our board and leadership team.”

That hope is shared by (left) Hunt Campbell many of Trezevant leaders, Photograph by Jamie Harmon including Bruce Hopkins, (this page) Bruce Hopkins and Hunt Campbell who was board chair when Photograph by Bob Bayne he recruited Hunt and is currently outgoing chair, Beyond the personal, completing his second tenure. Bruce, who worked with emotional connection to this place and his natural Hunt at First Tennessee, is confident he is the right tendency toward leadership, Hunt’s commitment to person to lead Trezevant, now and into the future. Trezevant ultimately springs from the heart of a servant leader. As a lifelong Episcopalian, he grew up with “I’ve watched Hunt up close and from afar,” Bruce said. parents who modeled the importance of community “He is very thoughtful when it comes to dealing with service and giving back. He says he’s blessed that his challenges and management issues. He’s definitely up wife, Beth, has the same sense of purpose, and they have for what’s ahead of him. He’s a banker so we think a lot tried to model the same behavior for their daughters. alike, and we’re both very cognizant of the importance of succession planning on the board and within the senior “It’s important,” Hunt says, “in whatever we do in life, management team.

Man for all Seasons

ack Richbourg is a man of faith. He was also an attorney for more than 40 years. The set-up for an easy lawyer joke? Not even close.

“History and law go together well,” says Richbourg, who moved into Trezevant in 2018. “Law and religion go together very well, too.” Richbourg, who majored in history at the University of Tennessee, seriously considered seminary as a young man, but had what he now describes as a “crisis of faith,” enough to convince himself he had a different calling. He felt his skills as a writer and public speaker would lend themselves to life as an attorney so, upon graduating from UT in 1970, he enrolled in law school at what was then known as Memphis State University. It was a return home for Richbourg, a 1966 graduate of White Station High School. (Among Jack’s Spartan classmates: actress Kathy Bates and, not incidentally, his future wife, Cathy.) Life as an attorney allowed Richbourg to make the right kind of impact, particularly his 24 years in immigration law. “I was the only thing standing between the most powerful country in the world,” he reflects, “and this person who doesn’t speak our language or know our customs. I really took that seriously. It gave me a sense of meaning, that what I was doing was important. Compare that with divorce law [earlier in my career]. After the case is over, both sides hate you. Even when we lost a case in immigration law, [my clients] were overjoyed to have someone fighting for them. You can’t go through something like that without being affected.”

“History and law go together well. Law and religion go together very Theology — and its daily impact — never left Richbourg’s consciousness. well, too.” He audited courses at Memphis

Theological Seminary for several years after retiring in 2018 and was recently hired as a lay preacher by First Presbyterian Church in Somerville, Tennessee. Twice a month, Richbourg delivers a sermon, yet another connection to his legal vocation: delivering a meaningful message to a group willing and eager to receive it. Richbourg earned a “Netters Certificate” at MTS, a certificate of congregational ministry named after James Netters, a prominent Black minister and civil rights leader in Memphis. “I wanted to continue taking classes,” explains Richbourg, “and the certificate allowed me to get an advisor. With five more courses, I earned a certificate of theological studies.” Richbourg’s curiosity for new and different made his theology studies not only illuminating, but somewhat directive. “There is a way to worship God that doesn’t have to do with superstition and myths,” he says. “You can honor the stories in the Bible and take value from them without having to believe they are literally true. The symbolic and spiritual meaning of many of the Bible stories are much more enriching than the literal understanding.” Jack Richbourg with his bicycle. He finds joy and motivation in staying active. Photographs by Jamie Harmon

“I say a prayer of thanksgiving to God for giving me another day to live my life.”

Several years ago, Richbourg volunteered to present lay reflections at Church of the Holy Communion — a link to the confidence he gained in public speaking as an attorney — and sees that as part of his late-life mission to inspire. “It was spiritually enriching,” he says. “Take a Bible verse, roll it around in my head a bit, and come up with a three- to five-minute reflection that would be relevant to someone living in the 21st century. [The congregation] needs to be moved, or they won’t be happy.” Married 55 years now, Jack and Cathy have embraced retirement, but an active version fueled by the Trezevant community. “Cathy had heard from friends that it’s a great retirement community,” notes Richbourg. “I don’t feel old. I knew we’d likely move into a retirement community at some point in our lives, and I thought it would be better while we’re relatively young and healthy, so we wouldn’t be a burden to anyone helping us move. Cathy did most of the work. [Our apartment] is designed to her specifications. I love the location; I can get anywhere I want to go in ten minutes.” Richbourg has enjoyed writing — particularly since he’s no longer constrained by “legalese” — and has taken courses to hone his craft at Trezevant. He’s been published in the Memphis Flyer and Memphis Business Journal and has recently taken the role of film critic for Trezevant’s newsletter, Tidings. “It’s an artistic outlet,” he emphasizes, “and I find it very fulfilling.” Regular visits to the weightroom are part of his exercise routine, that is when he’s not on a 15- or 20-mile cycling tour. In times of contemplation, does Richbourg suffer any fear? Worries? “We live in strange times,” he acknowledges. “We’ve lost the art of civil discourse in this country. We immediately get angry. Most human beings have fears. I worry about politics, about social security and Medicare. I depend on those systems. I worry about losing some of the foundations of our republic because we’re going to war without following rules as established by the Constitution. I worry about being a better husband so I won’t lose my wife, who I love dearly.” Richbourg shares the last fear with a smile. He and Cathy relish time with their two daughters and four grandchildren. Fears don’t steer us. Richbourg’s daily motivation starts with sunrise. “I say a prayer of thanksgiving to God,” he says, “for giving me another day to live my life. I try to be the person I think God wants me to be. I’ve got another 24 hours that I can try and do something.” And such motivation has been easy over Richbourg’s eight years at Trezevant. “I’ve met some fascinating people here,” says Richbourg. “Captains of industry. College professors. Specialized medical providers. We get to rub shoulders with them. I lead a pretty active life. I’ve seen people who don’t live active lives ... and they end up on walkers. I ride my bike. I lift weights. It’s important for people of any age. I went through a recent six-week workout that was worse than boot camp! But we stuck through it. I used to have a hard time climbing stairs. I asked a trainer about a way to improve. ‘Climb some stairs,’ he says. I now look like a younger version of myself climbing stairs.” Law. Faith. And a few stairs to climb. You might call it the Jack Richbourg method for living well. •

FOR MANY AT TREZEVANT, THEIR WORK TO MAKE MEMPHIS BETTER IS ONGOING. by Jon W. Sparks

hen Trezevant residents Kate Gooch and Perre Magness sit for a conversation, it is certain to range far and wide. It will be witty (dry, with a bite), thoughtful, and with plenty of insight as they remember past achievements and look to the future of the city they hold dear. Most of all, witnessing Kate and Perre share ideas, laughs, and joys is a reminder of the special place Trezevant has become in this community. It’s home to people with big ideas and long résumés, people who share a lasting devotion to the hard work that fosters meaningful change. At Trezevant, the sense of community goes beyond the walls of the campus and extends into civic impacts that will be felt for generations to come. The two recently met in Perre’s residence to talk about their lifelong shared dedication to making Memphis a better place, both having founded, run, or served with various nonprofit organizations

around town. It was a time to reminisce about their separate but parallel careers that were integral to shaping the destiny of Memphis. It was also an opportunity to talk about how things are at this moment in the city and to gauge how the next generation of leaders are continuing the legacies of these two influential women. There were stories — lots of them, many heartfelt, others humorous — and an abiding love for making things happen, cultivating the art of persuasion, and taking ideas to the next level.

PERRE MAGNESS — A MEMPHIS HISTORIAN Perre is renowned as a chronicler of the South and especially of Memphis. She’s written nine books about the institutions that define the city, from Elmwood Cemetery and Idlewild Presbyterian Church to the Memphis Country Club. Her first

access to the privately owned Hunt-Phelan House, but her persistence and diplomacy won the day. The formidable Mr. Phelan responded and welcomed Perre into the grand old mysterious house, possibly the first visitors in years. It was a remarkable and unexpected element of the book and cemented Perre’s status as a historian and preservationist. book was Good Abode: 19th Century Architecture in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, which had only meant to be a nice little pamphlet for the Junior League. “They didn’t want a book,” she said, but the research into historic preservation took on its own life and soon it was evident that a mere pamphlet would never do. Perre was advised that she could never possibly get

Her role as a chronicler of Memphis history is important, but she has been a crucial contributor to civic and philanthropic causes since the 1960s. She founded the Volunteer Center of Memphis as chair of a Junior League committee and went on to become president of the Junior League. She served as a trustee at LeMoyne-Owen College and was on the Board of Visitors of the University of Memphis — and those are but a few of her affiliations. And while serving on boards around town, she took

I tell my husband I’m head of the student body.” her experience of having written book reviews for the Nashville Banner, and approached The Commercial Appeal, which invited her to write the weekly “Past Times” column. Her column ran for an impressive 16 years.

“At that time,” Kate said, “before women were very involved in the workplace, the Junior League was

KATE GOOCH — A MEMPHIS TRAILBLAZER Perre and Kate have interacted and overlapped plenty over the years — and you cannot properly tell the story of Memphis without crediting their impact. They were among the pioneering women in a male-dominated society who realized the path to influence and involvement came through civic endeavors. The Junior League of Memphis was founded in 1922 to train women in civic leadership and promote volunteer work.

the leadership track.” Its effect was that women joined a growing number of initiatives that shaped the community. Kate was president of the Junior League in 1977-1978 and Perre succeeded her from 1978-1979. With that organization being a launch pad, both would continue their passions of service to the community. For Kate, it was Leadership Memphis. The organization came into being in 1978 with an ambitious mission: to transform the city that had fallen on hard times since the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Businesses were failing, the population was shifting, downtown was barely there. But there were stirrings of civic pride and some of the city’s leaders saw opportunities to turn things around. The prominent attorneys Lucius E. Burch Jr. and Lewis Donelson III got together with Kate and reached out to hundreds of businesses. Kate was the founding president of Leadership Memphis and got it started with classes for community leaders and passionate citizens who could transform Memphis. It was an organization that could discuss and act on issues of economic development, race relations, and civic involvement, mobilizing people in all sectors who believed in Memphis and wanted to see it succeed. Her own leadership was significant enough that the organization’s annual honor is named the Kate Gooch Leader of the Year Award. And in 1987, Perre earned the award for her own service to the community. Another key organization that Kate headed up for several years was the Greater Memphis Arts Council, another project that was seeded by the Junior League. Now called ArtsMemphis, it has given millions of dollars to arts organizations and individuals since it was founded in the early 1960s.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT As Kate and Perre trade stories, you can sense the evolution of their participation as the city dealt with issues of race, poverty, the economy, society, and more. Perre belonged to a group that sought to promote discussion and understanding in the years after the death of Dr. King. “The name Panel of American Women sounded like we were very patriotic, so we got invited to places that were very surprised when

we showed up. Every panel consisted of a Catholic, a Protestant, a Jew, and a Black person. Four of us dressed-up ladies would walk in, and for some organizations, it was a big surprise. For some it was the first time a Black person had walked in the front door.” Another local organization that recognized Perre is Women of Achievement, which has honored hundreds of remarkable women across all sectors who have contributed meaningfully to the city. In 2026, Trezevant resident, historian, and author Gail Murray was given the award in the category of Vision. Both have served on boards throughout the years and all over town. Perre remembers being on the Memphis Arts Council board, Opera Memphis board, and Memphis Heritage. And Kate served on the board of Memphis in May International Festival and was on the founding board of the National Civil Rights Museum, where she worked with Judge D’Army Bailey, who was also involved with Leadership Memphis. (She has also served on the board of Contemporary Media, Inc., which publishes Memphis Magazine and other titles, including Trezevant Living.) Kate founded the Governor’s School for International Studies at the University of Memphis and ran it from 1986 to 1991, then ran the Arts Council. “And now I’m the president of the residents’ association here at Trezevant,” she says. “I tell my husband I’m head of the student body.” There is, of course, a perfectly good reason why she’s involved at Trezevant — it’s all those years of running things. “The skills that I’ve developed over these years have really helped. It’s taken me a whole lot of time to develop an agenda and to talk about goals and objectives and all that, but it’s sort of coming back to me: goals and objectives.” Perre adds: “And we learned to set goals and then objectives under those. So we learned a process for organizing something.” Kate says, “Still learning, yeah. I haven’t really retired.” Perre teases: “You’re running Trezevant. We’re in good hands.”

TREZEVANT And how did these two local luminaries come to choose Trezevant?

For Perre, it was when her last dog died. It was time. And she had two good friends who lived here, Judy Drescher and the late Mary Jane Gentry. “I had been living in a zero lot-line house, but if I’d stayed in that zero lot-line during Covid, I never would have spoken to anybody but the lady next door and she didn’t like me. So I moved here. It surprised my children immensely.” Kate recruited her children to make the move to Trezevant by getting them to pitch in with the transition. “And they took over. It was wonderful. I just kind of sat there and said, ‘Yeah, keep that. Give that away.’” Kate and Perre’s conversation almost necessarily includes references to Trezevant residents who have contributed to the betterment of the community. “There’s a lot of connections,” Kate said. “Lillian Hammond, who’s a resident here, was very active in the integration of Second Presbyterian Church and she was in Leadership Memphis.” In fact, Trezevant has always been a place where residents have been a community of involvement. Just look at MIFA — the Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association — which has benefitted from years of participation. Sally Heinz, the CEO of MIFA, says, “It was Julia Allen, one of the first employees at MIFA, who recruited VISTA volunteers to helm the nonprofit.” Allen was a Trezevant resident, as was Peggy Bodine who also was a MIFA employee and who ran the Center for Neighborhoods. Resident Sarah Holmes is another Trezevant resident who was affiliated with MIFA. And resident Missy McDonnell has long been a philanthropic supporter of many causes and is active in Trezevant’s spiritual and community life. As Heinz put it: “Trezevant is just full of special, remarkable people. And I think giving back may add to longevity.” •

Gail Murray Woman of Achievement Award for Vision

he Women of Achievement Awards are given each year to seven women in the Memphis community who have shown courage, determination, heroism, initiative, steadfastness, and vision. The organization also honors a woman of past generations whose accomplishments still enrich our lives today with the heritage award. The Women of Achievement Award is the only award where women are chosen to receive the award by other women. The organization just celebrated its 40th anniversary, with a total of 280 women having received the award. Dr. Gail Murray received the Vision Award for 2026. She was honored at an event on March 29 at Playhouse on the Square. Murray, a retired history professor who taught at Rhodes College, spent years focusing on stories that were not included in the history books. She taught courses on Black and white women in the South and noticed a gap, particularly regarding how women worked together during the Civil Rights movement. She added, “I wanted to look at organizations where women worked together to address equity in Memphis.” For her work in preserving these powerful stories, Murray was recently honored by Women of Achievement. She hopes the legacy of these women, told in these stories, will encourage and inspire others to listen, learn and engage in meaningful dialogue. She believes that real change betgins with honesty and the honesty to have meaningful conversations. Two other Trezevant residents are past recipients: Rev. Anne Carriere and Perre Magness. Gail concluded her comments by saying, “Today we are recognizing the women AND men who have used their vision , experience, and steadfastness to enhance the lives of our residents, our serving staff and Memphis community.” •

oy Coolidge has been tending growth for as long as she can remember. Born in central North Carolina, she was raised near the family farm on the Roanoke River. She says, “We were used to growing everything. That was just natural and became part of you.” She carried a love for horticulture throughout her life, and now, at Trezevant, she’s surrounding herself with the plants and flowers on her patio. When she had been part of the community here for a couple of years, she jumped at the chance, last year, to move into a first-floor apartment with a garden terrace when it became available. The patio area gives Foy the chance to exercise her green thumb, growing her favorite flora just outside her living room.

Green space wasn’t the only advantage of the two-bedroom unit. The tall ceilings and generous floor plan provide plenty of room for Foy’s beautiful furniture, along with a collection of her treasures gathered over time. Each piece holds a special memory and tells the story of a chapter in her life. Fresh out of college and living in New York City, Foy met a boy named Bill Coolidge from Helena, Arkansas, on a blind date. The two soon married and settled into their first home on Vance Avenue in Midtown Memphis. After moves to Atlanta, Savannah, and Charlotte, she and Bill eventually made their way back to the Bluff City, where they lived in Chickasaw Gardens. The couple traveled extensively, acquiring something special on each trip to commemorate the experience. A framed Hermès scarf, a gift from Bill on their 25th anniversary, anchors a grouping of memorabilia from a 1993 trip to France with the Phillips Collection to honor the

museum’s acquisition of Renoir’s famous painting, “Luncheon of the Boating Party.” Stretching across the living room’s back wall, a four-panel cityscape of Florence evokes memories of time spent in the Italian city known as the cradle of the Renaissance. The couple also began acquiring art. Foy says, “Bill was from an artistic family, so it just fell into place for him to collect. His sister was a fine artist, and so he started looking into women artists at the time from 1850 to 1950.” Several favorite pieces by Mary Sipp Green, Jane Peterson and other female painters of the period adorn the apartment. The art and keepsakes highlight the beautiful furniture Foy brought along. Cathy Harris, who owned Germantown’s Catherine Harris Interiors

and Antiques, helped the Coolidges with the design for their Chickasaw Gardens house, and those furnishings feel right at home in the apartment. Elegant yet comfortable seating paired with traditional pieces lend the living room a warm, established feel. Foy says the “natural” colors reflect her love of the outdoors. Just off the living room, a cozy nook makes a perfect place to relax and read or watch TV. Foy furnished the spot with a loveseat and a chair-and-ottoman set also brought from her longtime home. She also had shelves and cabinets built in along one wall — a handsome and practical addition, offering room for books and other treasures. Down a hall lined with family photos, the apartment’s two bedrooms are roomy and welcoming retreats that also hold Foy’s sentimental favorites. “In my family there were four children, two boys and two girls,” she says. “When each of us got married, my daddy had a bed and a chest made of wood from the farm, his walnut grove, for us.” The poster bed now stands in the guest room; Foy has the chest in the sitting area of her spacious bedroom. Along with the garden area, the apartment’s dedicated storage room rates as one of her new place’s top features. Foy says it’s “heaven on wheels” having all her things organized and at arm’s reach. Foy initially moved after Bill passed away, and while she says the loss of her beloved husband resulted in a time of upheaval, the choice to join the Trezevant community seemed like a natural one. “Being Episcopalian and going to Calvary [Church] all those years, Trezevant used to bring a bus to Calvary on Sunday mornings. I was used to seeing Trezevant residents come into church on Sunday,” she recalls. She was also acquainted with a number of residents from her years of volunteer work with local organizations like Les Passees, the LeBonheur Club, and the Junior League. “I even knew people from one of my crazy jobs!” says Foy, who worked in the boutique department at the Stein Mart in East Memphis. Several of her colleagues from the store are now neighbors at Trezevant. “They’ve got something for everybody,” she says of the community’s offerings and activities. “You pick and choose what you like.” Life here is giving Foy Coolidge room to grow not only through the gardening she has always loved, but through a new home filled with much-loved treasures, in the company of long-time and new friends. •

The Back Porch | by Dan Conaway

I Don’t Have Cards Or Contacts Anymore.

I Have People.

spent my working life developing contacts, hundreds, no, thousands of them.

They lived in the Let’s Do Lunch/Have A Drink/ Tee It Up Prehistoric Age that followed Hunting and Gathering, the Stone and Iron Ages, the invention of the telegraph, indoor plumbing and the telephone. Their Age began with the invention of radio, TV, the T-Bird convertible, and Elvis, and ended with dial-up internet, mobile phones, and Amazon. Also known as the Age of the Rolodex and the business card. I was in advertising, so anybody working in anything outside of nuclear fusion was a contact for potential business. I had a Rolodex, lots of them, a card file, more like a shoebox, and superficial relationships with, well, everybody. I never met a president, but I did ads for one, and had a meeting in Watergate the month after Watergate. I knew more people than somebody working at the Plaza reception desk or the bartenders in the hotel’s Oak Room. They were contacts. They were clients. Very few were friends. They weren’t community. They weren’t Trezevant. I’ll explain the difference. Contacts know other contacts. Friends know your dogs. Your dogs come to people in this community. Contacts send cards when you’re in the hospital. Friends visit. People in this community stand in line to walk your dogs. Contacts host dinner parties once a year to impress other contacts. Friends host dinner parties to enjoy the company of each other a few times a year. People in this community have cocktail parties and dinner parties with each other every night.

And they enjoy entertainment or a noted speaker following, or they’re back in robes and favorite chairs by 7:30. Contacts live in houses somewhere. Friends live in homes you know. People in this community share home. And they’ll never cut the grass again, pay a utility bill, fall off a ladder, or wonder when the dishwasher is going to call it quits. Contacts have contact with fascinating people by necessity, friends have fascinating people for friends, fascinating people share your vegetable garden, your water aerobics class, and conversation in the chair next to you daily in this community. Some were and are famous out in the world. They happily share this world now. Contacts are people, but not your people. Friends and family are your people, but they live everywhere. Community is life shared, all of it, together in the same place. Private and public space. Activities as diverse as the people. Support as necessary. All with one goal. Getting the most you can out of every day, your way. Your people are out there, sure, and next door, living together on this stage of life, and nailing very scene, Living in a community is an advertising promise. Living in community is a Trezevant reality. Gotta go. I’m late for poker. •
