my amazing step-grandma


so apart from being one of the most gorgeous mature ladies i know, i just accidentally discovered that she is a big supporter of PATHways - there is even a family center named after her! i have admired the organization and finally got a chance to work with them doing a square foot garden with our church this past summer. i am so blown away by the transitional house they recently built here in Long Beach at the Villages at Cabrillo.


you may know her - and by her i mean of course Rhonda Fleming - by her dozens of movies and musicals -for a list just go here...(PS - I ripped all these movie shots off of her website - www.rhondafleming.com) my favorites are Spellbound, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and The Redhead and the Cowboy...definitely must-sees...i love that era of movies though! thanks mom for ALWAYS playing AMC every time the TV is on...

anyway - how excited was i to see her passions and mine lining up like that...no-not in acting/musicals, although i am sure i would have been a 40s movie star in another life...but in the areas of PATH...

and that is not her only platform - she also dabbles in the following organizations as well:

ARCS ACHIEVEMENT REWARDS FOR COLLEGE SCIENTISTS

CITY OF HOPE

FREEDOMS FOUNDATION AT VALLEY FORGE

FRENCH FOUNDATION FOR ALZHEIMER RESEARCH

GUIDEPOSTS

LOS ANGELES MUSIC CENTER

OLIVE CREST TREATMENT CENTERS FOR ABUSED CHILDREN

PATH (People Assisting The Homeless)

SAINT JOHN'S HEALTH CENTER FOUNDATION
