Computer Clinic returns January 11, using ZOOM technology!
Is your computer, tablet, or smartphone giving you fits? Is there
something you want to do, but can’t figure out how? Do you have
questions to ask about email, the internet, or some program you’d like
to find or use? We have good news! Our computer experts, most of
whom are members of the Sequim PC Users Group, or “SPCUG”, will
do their best to help you online via Zoom.
The Clinic will be “open” at its usual time of Mondays at 1pm. To
get an invite to the meeting, please call the office at 360-683-6806 and give your name, phone
number, and email address, and you will get an email before the next meeting, telling you how
to join in!
You can also tell our office staff if you have a PC or MAC, android, or apple device, and
the general nature of your issue you’d like help with. Our office staff will pass the info along
and you will be connected with the tech gurus!
This will all start on Monday January 11, 2021 at 1:00pm, and due to Martin Luther King
Day, will continue on January 25, and most Mondays after that. This member benefit is for
current members only, and there is no charge, but donations to the Center are appreciated if
you feel the help was valuable.
As with anything else, there are no guarantees, and you will be asked to hold harmless the
volunteers, SPCUG, and Shipley Center. Our volunteers will do their best to help. If your
problem is beyond their scope, they will advise you on how to get professional tech help and
where to get it.
Congratulations to our Afghan winner!
In November we had a free raffle for veterans to enter to
win this beautiful red white and blue hand-crocheted afghan.
Army veteran Norma Pierce is our winner!
An entry was made on her behalf by her friend Ruth Messing.
Congratulations Norma!
We want to thank you, and all who entered, for your service
to our country.
(This is not part of the Quilts of Valor program that also
honors veterans.

10:00 AM. That's a firm start, as we need to begin at the beginning. You will want to set the stage to
have all the benefits of the class and your time. Class ends about 10:45 AM.

2021, Our 50th Anniversary Year is Here!
By Michael Smith, Executive Director
By the time you read this, the papers may have published a photo of Clallam County’s first baby
of the New Year, 2021.
At the other end of the spectrum, the oldest person in the world, as of this writing, is Kane Tanaka
of Japan, who is 117 years old, and will turn 118 on January 2, 2021! The oldest person in the
United States is Hester Ford of South Carolina, who is almost 115½. She has 12 children, 68
grandchildren, 120 great-grandchildren, and more than 120 great-great-grandchildren! That’s over
320 descendants! (How would you like to shop for all those kids for Christmas?!)
Our New Year baby’s challenges are just beginning, as Kane and Hester are almost at the end of
life’s road, after active and full lives.
We are all part of this thing called the human “race”. Some of us run it, some walk it, and others
just endure it. Some of us smile and brighten others’ path along the way, and some of us complain
and fight at every step. How is your “race” going lately? As we enter the New Year, we hope you are
doing well in every way possible.
Shipley Center has put 2020 behind us and is ready to face 2021 with optimism and courage.
Many await a vaccine to protect them from the virus; and, perhaps in a few months, we will be able
to meet in person again at your Center.
Our newest way to help seniors is the reactivation of our Computer Clinic to help our members
with tech issues on Zoom. See article on page one. We intend to pick up the pace a bit, with even
more activities, classes, and fun on Zoom at first, and then in
person as soon as it is safe to do so.
I want to thank our board members who have held on
through this year, including the three who have just been
re-elected to a 2nd 3-year term. Together, with you, our
members, we will make 2021, our 50th year as a senior center,
the best year ever! Our organization was founded in 1971
here in Sequim, and we will have more news and history about
that in future issues and throughout our Golden Anniversary
year.
For now, please join me in some suggested New Year’s resolutions for 2021:
1. To be more connected with others by participating in more activities, even if that means using the
telephone and technology more to stay in touch.
2. To take care of finances, by learning how to avoid fraud and dubious investments and schemes,
and to ask for advice and 2nd opinions when in doubt.
3. To learn a new skill or new knowledge in areas of interest to me.
4. To find safe ways to volunteer to serve causes and people I care about.
5. To explore transportation, insurance, healthcare, and other options available to me as a senior, by
making my needs known, and looking for the resources that are out there to meet them. (Need
help finding resources? Contact us, or call Senior Information and Assistance, at 360-452-3221.)
6. To remember Shipley Center in my 2021 charitable giving and estate planning, so that it may
continue its good work at least until I am 115 or 118!
7. To connect with at least one child, teenager, or young adult outside of my family by learning their
name(s) and greeting them as they run or skateboard by. I want to help younger generations
know they are noticed, appreciated, and loved.
These are just some suggestions, but following them could actually make us live longer, as
studies have shown that those who are active in their connections with others have more meaning
and purpose in their lives--and live longer because of it!
Happy New Year!
Michael

QUILTS OF VALOR: To cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war
with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
Are you an active or retired serviceman or woman who served in a war or conflict area? You may well qualify for a
meaningful, comforting “Quilt of Valor”.
The Quilts of V alor (QOVF) is a national non-profit organization with volunteers spread out in several communities across the
United States. The North Olympic Peninsula Group makes quilts for the nominated veterans in Clallam and Jefferson counties as
well as an occasional one at Whidbey Island in Island County. Since 2016, the group, which currently has 33 members, has made
about 500 quilts for veterans in the two counties.
The roughly twin sized quilts take 30 to 60 hours each to make. The cost of the material averages about $250. While free to the
recipients, the group accepts donations for material costs.
QOVF awards quilts only to active service members and living veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. They are not given
posthumously or to families of service members.
For more information, and/or if you think you, or someone you know would qualify, go to www.qovf.org where there is an
easily accessible nomination form.
Olympic Peninsula quilters who want to volunteer to make quilts can contact Kathy Bates,
team leader 1kathybates@gmail.com or call (360) 316-9708.

Spotlight on… Rhonda Huchonson
By Margaret Cox
If you’ve ever had footcare at Shipley Center, you know you leave floating on air, with happy feet! You
certainly are familiar with this month’s Spotlighted person, Rhonda Huchonson!
Life for Rhonda is hectic, but I managed to catch up with her between her busy work day here, and driving
home to Kingston, to find out a little more about this special woman.
Born in Spearfish, SD, at four years old, Rhonda’s family moved to Forks, WA, where her Dad got into the
logging industry. She spent her childhood there, graduating from Forks High School.
Not knowing exactly what she wanted to do with her life, Rhonda took some courses at Peninsula College,
then spent four months aboard the Alaska Packer, a seafood processing ship. Herring and salmon were
processed on that ship; but she left just before crab season.
But what an experience that was! The repetitive nature of the work resulted in three weeks of having her
painful wrists wrapped for carpal tunnel syndrome. During an instance of 70-foot waves over the bow,
everyone had to strap themselves into their bunks! (I know I would have been terrified!) After four months,
she returned to Forks, where she married and had two daughters.
It was when they moved from Forks to Port Angeles that Rhonda
decided to go back to school, this time for courses in foot reflexology
and footcare. She opened a hair and nail shop in PA; then a small
nail shop in Sequim . . . but found out she was allergic to the acrylics!
During this time, she found that seniors would come into her
shops, not so much for the need for nail care, but came in just to talk,
some wanting her to come to their homes for the service. She treas-
ures those conversations, relishing the history and personal moments
they share.
It was like an “aha moment” for Rhonda! She realized she loved
relating to seniors, and in 2005, contacted Shipley Center (then,
Sequim Senior Center) about becoming a footcare provider for its
membership. She was hired on . . . and, as they say, the rest is
history!
After the death of the girls’ father in a logging accident in the fall of
2010, Rhonda was still trying to help her almost-adult daughters cope
with the loss. They encouraged her to find something she enjoyed. So, it was back to Alaska, this time to
King Salmon, to cook for and help run a B&B, the Blue Fly Fish. “THAT was quite the experience!” she
recalls. With eighteen hours of daylight, she decided to put in a garden along the Naknek River . . . and was
eaten alive by mosquitoes! Bears frequented the area, so there was protective “bear wire” around the
chickens. One morning, the B&B owner woke up to a bear in the hallway, eating the dogfood!
Today, Rhonda creates happy feet for customers at Shipley Center and Dungeness Courte. She is also
the sole footcare provider for the Clallam County Special Needs, serving over 20 people each month.
In 2016, Rhonda became a certified Holistic Nutrition and Life Coach through the Institute of Integrated
Nutrition. She hopes to expand her line of work, to help others live healthier—and happier—lives.
Rhonda is a very active “younger senior”! She likes to hike, walk/run (has completed three Peninsula
marathons), snowshoe, and garden on her large property. Calling herself a bookworm, she loves to read.
At the moment she is training to be a leader for meditation.
Her younger daughter manages NorthWest Coffee Brothers in Forks, is married and the mother of
Rhonda’s “two amazing grandchildren”. Her elder daughter, is a very successful bio-medical engineer in
Seattle. She and Rhonda are in business together, owning an Airbnb, Upper Left Landing, in Kingston.
Continued on p. 11SHIPLEY CENTER NEWSLETTER PAGE 11 January 2021
Continued from page 10
Rhonda is the property manager and host . . . and does pretty much anything else that needs to be done!
She is proud that their B&B is rated as #1 in the area!
Rhonda tries to spend as much time as possible with her granddaughters. She loves being a
grandma! Every few months, the girls come to stay with her, quarantining at home before coming.
Snowshoeing with her daughters and granddaughters is on the activity calendar early in the new year.
Guess who’s going to give who snowshoes for Christmas!
What about Rhonda’s relationship with Shipley Center? While an independent contractor, not a staff
employee, she enjoys collaborating with everyone at the Center. “Working with ‘my seniors’ (some 350 of
them!) at Shipley Center, conversing with them, chatting with office staff, and having lunches from The Café .
. . it’s a very upbeat place to be!”
Rhonda wants everyone to know that, over the years, she has seen many senior center newsletters, and
she says, “Shipley Center has the best!”
We think so, too . . . and we think Rhonda is “the best” and are glad she provides one of Shipley Center’s
services to the Sequim community.

Brian Davis, above, is presented with the
volunteer of the quarter award for 1st Quarter
2020 by Executive Director Michael Smith.
He is also receiving a Bronze Medallion and
certificate from the President’s Volunteer
Service Award program.
Brian is excellent at taking on tough
projects, sorting, filing, and organizing,
helping us decide what to toss and what to
keep, and has helped in many areas all year
around the Center.
In addition, he faithfully volunteered many
hours at our Annual Benefit Sale.
Brian works full time locally, and donates his
days off to various nonprofits in the area. We
are very thankful that Brian stopped by one
day over a year ago and offered to help us out!SHIPLEY CENTER NEWSLETTER PAGE 12 January 2021
