Hi. I usually don't post on this site, I'm on the naranon site mostly...but just had to tell you all that I am working at Stan Hywet, in Akron, Ohio. It is the site of the Seiberling Mansion. The Gate Lodge is where Henrietta Seiberling introduced her friend, Dr. Bob, to Bill W. on Mother's Day in 1935. The rest is history and I'm thrilled to be able to walk in that house and into the parlor, where the two men had coffee and talked for 6 hours on the Mother's day.
I work with Special Education students, during the school year. During the summer months, I job coach those students at various work sites, in the community. This summer, we were lucky enough to obtain the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens.
It gives me goose bumps every time I walk through the door of that gate lodge.
