For this episode I interview Marilyn Knipfel, a new resident in Long-Term-Care at The Village of Riverside Glen. There's a perseverance and positive outlook to Marilyn that's likely helping her navigate having moved during a pandemic, and living with a broken back for the past ten years - and from her stories it would seem like it goes all the way back to her childhood, when she was diagnosed with Spinal Meningitis that left her deaf in one ear, and having to re-learn how to walk. Growing up in and around Elmira, Marilyn has raised a wonderful family, worked as a postal worker for over 30 years, worked at the drive-in theatre, and traveled the world. She has lots to be thankful for :) We're so appreciative of her sharing with us, especially having only just moved and still readjusting to her new life at Riverside Glen. Thank you Marilyn!
