PATRON SPOTLIGHT - CLAIRE CHICCO
Our patron interviews are back! And Claire Chicco saved the day by
volunteering to be our first interviewee. She would tell you it was entirely
pain-free and actually quite fun, so please call us if you are interested in
sharing a little bit about yourself.
Claire was born in Columbus, OH and has lived in the area most of her
life except for brief periods in Indiana and Michigan. She attended Whetstone
High School. She obtained her undergraduate degree at OSU in corrections
and her Masters degree in counseling. She was a social worker for 30 years,
specializing as a drug and alcohol addiction counselor. Her last position was
at Netcare which she said was her favorite job. She also enjoyed working with
Native Americans during the time she lived in Traverse City, MI.
With good reason, Claire is very proud that she is putting all three of her
children through college. They are good kids and that is quite an
accomplishment. She also played a big role in allowing women to work within
the prison systems, something that was not permitted when she got her
degree in corrections.
While in college, she did a field placement in Europe. She later returned
and hitchhiked from London to Paris. Her favorite part was camping at the
white cliffs of Dover. She loves Paris and if she could travel again, that is
where she would like to return.
Claire has many interests, including cooking, gardening, art museums,
garage sales and music. One of her favorite places to go is the library. When
she became disabled with MS and had to leave her house, she found a place
as close to the library as she could. She feels her
new home is meant to be. Being in close
proximity to Dairy Queen isn’t a bad thing either!
What we learned most from Claire is that she
is a very strong person. Between her MS and being
a breast cancer survivor, she has learned to
appreciate the little things of life and is determined
to live life to its fullest. She was a true
inspiration to us and we thank her for sharing her
story .

First Dog
—-A Poem by Clayton Hughes—-
A hairy man with an ax of stone
Shattered the end of a burnt black bone
Then sucked out the marrow hidden there
And wiped his hand through his greasy hair
With eyes alert to dangers grave
He flashed a glance at the mouth of his cave
From just inside had come a sound
He gripped his ax and turned around
He saw two eyes reflecting light
Shine like stars on the darkest night
He bared his teeth and raised his club
Then he saw the frightened cub
An orphaned wolf had wondered in
And gone to sleep in the cavemans den
He gave the pup a piece of meat
And then sat down and began to eat
Then went to sleep til the morning light
And the dog kept watch through the long dark night
Now the hills of Appalachia ring
With the lonesome song that the fox hounds sing
The sheep dog works with skill and pride
In England’s peaceful countryside
The sled dogs mush and start to run
In the frozen land of the midnight sun
Today a tail will wag with joy
When the yellow bus drops off the boy
They’ve come a long long way since then
The night man finally found an friend.
