Jewell’s fond adieu

Bon voyage, Jewell !
Jewell Cardwell’s final column for the BJ was a poignant farewell to all the people she has helped through the decades, since succeeding Fran Murphey.

Like the centenarian in stilettos using a walker. And Ohio’s first sextuplets. And Andy who lost the lower half of his body but not his faith. The Silent Angel who provided appliances for people in need. The blind drunks she took to an Indians game.

After a tip of the hat to her successor, Kim Hone-McMahan, Jewell closes with:

Continue to take care of each other and thanks for the memories.”
