Working in Clearwater Lake San was my first job. I still remember Ms. Appleby with her English nurse's head piece. She was a kind lady, although I didn't see much of her. When you are only 18, it seems like everyone is so much older. She was a young woman herself, only in her 30s. I haven't forgotten my experience there, and all of the people I worked with. Bless you Ms. Appleby. - Posted by: Cynthia Fedak (I worked as a nurse's aide in ClearWater Lake, and have photos of the staff there in the 1960s) on: Jun 02, 2015
