Dear Residents,

The senior population of the United States is growing rapidly, which has resulted in an increasing demand for services for seniors. In our community, seniors represent the fastest growing age demographic with expected growth of over 16% over the next 5 years. The Providence Healthcare Network and Ascension Health recognize the importance of enhancing and expanding our role in serving the senior population. To enhance this focus at the local level, Providence Park will join Ascension Health Senior Care - a new, not-for-profit subsidiary of Ascension Health.

Ascension Health Senior Care is expected to be operational in July 2014, creating the second largest not-for-profit long-term care provider in the United States with more than 30 long-term care facilities across the country. Under this new model, The Village, St. Elizabeth Place and St. Catherine Center will continue to operate under the name Providence Park. Providence Park will maintain its strong connection to the brand and mission of the Providence Healthcare Network. In fact, we believe partnering with Ascension Health Senior Care will only strengthen our role in the Providence continuum of care.

For now you will see no change in how we operate and provide you service. Over time, there will be changes as we begin to take advantage of new ideas, best practices, and other resources offered by Ascension Health Senior Care. We also believe Providence Park, as a leader in long term care, has a tremendous amount of value to contribute to the new organization.

We will continue to provide regular updates to you in the months ahead. This is an exciting transition, and we value your support as we work together to ensure Providence Park remains the senior care leader in our community. As always, thank you for choosing to call Providence Park home.

Sincerely,

Brett Esrock Michael OlmsteadPresident & CEO Vice President, Long Term Care ServicesProvidence Healthcare Network Providence Park

Our FBI resident, Leon Dobbs has consented to sharing another of his many cases with us Providence Park friends. He began his first assignment with the FBI on March 1, 1955, in Detroit, Michigan, where he worked with George Blue, an experienced agent with a wealth of knowledge about crime in Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

Early on, the first major case that George and Leon investigated involved a car theft ring in which new cars, Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles, were being stolen from Detroit automobile dealerships and transported to Windsor for sale. Fortunately, George had several contacts in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and, by chance, he had an informant who was dating a Canadian who told her that he was registering American made vehicles before they were smuggled from Detroit into Canada to avoid paying the high duty taxes.

From the Files of Leon DobbsA note from the desk of Charles Tolbert

Three Cadillac and two Oldsmobile Dealers in the Detroit area had reported 36 new vehicles stolen over the previous year. They had no idea how they were being stolen. George and the RCMP had learned from their informants that two Canadian businessmen would go alone to the new car dealers, test drive a new car alone, make a wax imprint of the two keys (door and ignition) and return the vehicle to the dealer. Keys would be made by the businessmen and given to the thieves with a good description of the vehicles and the approximate location on the lot. The thieves would check on the vehicles daily until they were moved and parked near an exit. They then would get in the cars and drive them from the lot to a house in nearby Royal Oak, Michigan. (Having worked on the case for sometime before Leon’s arrival in Detroit, George showed him the house with its detached double

garage.) The businessmen would have their friend in the registration office in Windsor issue new car tags for the stolen cars and send them to the thieves to put on the cars before driving them to Windsor.

Surveillance at the house began early on a Sunday morning. George parked the van with the hood up to give the impression of having car trouble and walked away, leaving Leon in the back hidden behind heavily darkened windows. The van was parked on the street directly in front of the driveway, so all activities in both sides of the garage could easily be seen. As action started, Leon was able to get pictures of two men and the car they drove there, as well as the two stolen cars parked in the garage. He was also able to photograph the men placing the Canadian license tags on a Cadillac and an Oldsmobile and driving the cars out of the driveway around 8:00 a.m. Leon

Frances was born in Oklahoma City – “got to Texas as soon as I could” she said. When she was nine (9) years old the family moved to Canyon, Texas where she graduated from high school in 1948.

New Friends at Providence Park

Frances attended Baylor from 1948 to 1951. She met her husband while at Baylor and they were married in 1950. Her husband worked for Diamond Shamrock and 3M and she said they moved about 25 times during their married life.

Frances had three children; a boy and two girls. She lost her son when he was 19 years old. He had a rare blood disease called Aplastic Anemia. Her daughters are both teachers, one here

remained behind to watch the car left by the two men as other agents followed the stolen cars through Port Huron, Michigan, into Sarnia, Ontario. At that point, the RCMP took over and followed the cars into Windsor where they were left in a busy parking lot. No arrests were made.

On Monday George learned that the car dealers did not know those cars were missing; however, on

Wednesday he was advised that two Oldsmobiles were not accounted for. Early Thursday morning, Leon and a partner were back in the van, parked in the same position without the hood up. They observed no action at the garage throughout the day. Leon was back in position early Friday alone in the back of the van. As before, about 8:00 a.m., the same two men and a third man arrived together. The third man got out of the

back seat, reentered the car and drove away. The other two men opened both garage doors, put the plates on the stolen Oldsmobiles, backed the cars out of the garage, locked the garage doors, and drove the cars away together. Leon was instructed to drive the van, first participating in the surveillance of the stolen cars, and then joining the RCMP in Sarnia as they followed the stolen cars. The RCMP officers coordinated the arrest of the two men at

the same public parking lot in Windsor.

The car thieves were very cooperative. Around 3:30 p.m., RCMP officers monitored two telephone conversations the thieves had with the Canadian businessmen. The first call was about where they should park and leave the keys to the new cars, claiming several policemen were “all over” the regular parking lot. In the second, they urged the businessmen to come out of their offices onto the street where the cars had been parked and remove them before the 4:00
