JULIET DRAGOS: A Grand Rapids senior living center community celebrated a special anniversary
today with a trip back to the mid ’60s. LEE VAN AMEYDE: Holland Home’s Fulton Manor has
been serving seniors
at its East Fulton Street location for exactly 100 years. Staff at the Manor
opened a time capsule, which was first buried in the late 1800s,
last opened and added to in 1966. The capsule had newspapers
with headlines from 1912, including
the Wright brother’s death from typhoid fever,
plus old documents from
Holland Homes [sic].
DAVE CLAUS: It’s amazing to be able to hold documents like that that talk about this organization.
and just see pictures of
people we’ve served from all those years.
It’s very… it’s humbling.
LEE: Residents collected items for a 2012 time capsule,
which was buried after today’s celebration.
JULIET: That is always so much fun to see those kind of things. LEE: It is. Absolutely.
