Scammers Take Advantage When Health Care is in the News As the future of health care continues to be the topic of conversation, scammers are paying close attention to the news and may latch on to concerns about changes to health care laws. As such, consumers may begin to receive unsolicited offers – by email, phone or snail mail – for new or discounted health plans or services that promise to protect existing coverage. Scammers commonly use these types of nefarious ploys to bait anxious individuals and, ultimately, bilk their bank accounts. In one common scam, fraudsters cold call unsuspecting consumers and tell them they need new health care coverage due to changes in federal law. The caller often will go on to ask for personal identifying information such as a Social Security number, financial or insurance information. With that information in hand, scammers easily can steal a person’s identity. TIPS: • Do not share your personal information with unsolicited callers • Call your insurance company or Medicare to verify changes in the law • Report suspected health care scams to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-FTCHELP Jennifer Snyder, Head Deputy of the Healthcare Insurance Fraud Division explains the scam in the following video: http://vimeo.com/212950486.

Reader Responds to ‘At-Risk Teens, Senior Citizens Make Get Well Cards Together’ (4/13/17 Issue) Dear Editor: Throughout history, including that of ancient Egypt, we can be sure that at-risk teens dotted the social landscape. Even in that remote antiquity, there must have been a number of gray-heads who made themselves available as helpful guides to those youths with the wisdom that blesses many old people. How inspiring it was to see the photo that graced your front page, of the old and the young making get well cards together -- and to read of the harmony between those in the twilight of their lives and those in their sunrise. At rock concerts we only see the young. At senior centers we only see the old. What a beautiful sight to see them together! - David Quintero Monrovia

‘Asian Choral Festival 2017’ Coming to Arcadia During Asian-American Heritage Month The inaugural “Asian Choral Festival 2017” will debut in the Los Angeles area Sunday, May 7, at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center at 5 p.m. to kick off Taiwanese American Heritage Week. The Asian Choral Festival 2017 is the first of its kind to be hosted by an Asian cultural center in Los Angeles, the Taiwan Center of Greater Los Angeles. The festival will feature five musical groups representing the Armenian, Japanese, Korean, Filipino and Taiwanese-American communities across the Greater Los Angeles area. Choir groups include the Los Angeles Belfry Singers (Armenia), the Ensemble Echo and Yunkari Chorus with Yunjou Daiko (Japan), the Los Angeles Korean-American Musicians’ Association Chorus (Korea), the Philippine Chamber Singers Los Angeles (Philippines), and the Elite Chamber Singers (Taiwan). It is a moment for communities to come together and understand each other a bit more, experiencing each other’s interpretation of what defines Asian culture.
Celebrating Asian American Heritage Month, the festival is an opportunity for communities spanning from Western Asia to Southeast Asia to come together and celebrate the various music, cultures and traditions that unite the Pan-Asian American community. The festival also provides an opportunity for all Angeleno music lovers to experience the unique sounds, cultures, and traditional dress of different cultures. The importance of cooperation between Asian communities echoed throughout the conference from the various participants. Conductor Gelo Francisco of the Philippine Chamber Singers of Los Angeles exclaimed the choir group’s prayers had been answered, saying “If our small communities can come together, we will be stronger”. Mikayel Avetisyan, Musical Director of the Belfry Singers, noted how special the festival will be to the Armenian community, this being the debut performance of the Belfry Singers, expressing his hopes for this to begin
a long tradition, where more countries will be encouraged to participate in the festivals to come. Benson Wang, Deputy Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles thanked the Taiwan Center for hosting the event, saying “TECO-LA deeply appreciates the gesture made by the Taiwan Center to make this event possible, enabling the participation of various music groups to come together in friendship and create a harmonious environment”. “Music is an emotional connection that transcends every spoken language. It is my hope that continuing to share different facets of Asian culture will help to make Los Angeles a more vibrant community”, he said while wishing the festival success. Tickets ($10 for General Admission; $100 VIP) will be available for purchase at the Taiwan Center of Greater Los Angeles. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/TaiwanCenterLA.

as Chief Operating Officer since January 1, 2017. He is a veteran of the health care industry, having led companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic sectors. He earned his Ph.D in Biochemistry from the University of Southern California and an MBA from the University of Miami. Bishop’s prior employment includes Chairman and CEO of AutoImmune Inc., Division President for Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Division President for Allergan Medical Optics, and a series of increasingly responsible R&D and executive positions at American Hospital Supply Corporation. Experienced in nearly all of the steps in developing new technologies into viable businesses, he has served on the Board of Directors of five public and four private companies. “PBC is fortunate to have such an accomplished executive to succeed Mr. Blomstrom,” Mr. Bogaard said. “His background in
corporate management, entrepreneurship, and pharmaceuticals is a perfect fit for our current needs. The Board is very confident that Bud’s focus and strategic vision will serve PBC extremely well.” Mr. Bishop thanked the Board for their confidence, adding that his goal is to expand upon the success achieved by Mr. Blomstrom. “I’m proud of PBC’s many accomplishments during Mr. Blomstrom’s tenure as President. He has hired an exceptional staff and over the last year has prepared me to make a seamless transition. With this strong foundation, I look forward to continuing in his successful footsteps.” During the April 14 ceremony, Dr. Bishop described PBC’s enhanced mission and expanded facilities, and Wendie Johnston, Ph.D, Lab Director, showcased some of the expanded educational programs. The event was attended by city and community leaders, including,
William Covino, CSU Los Angeles President, former State Senator Jack Scott, who played a major role in establishing PBC, and Pasadena City Manager Steve Mermell. Pasadena City College’s Wendie Johnston, director of the LA/Orange County Biotechnology Center, collaborates extensively with the incubator. She brings equipment largely donated by industry to the collaborative and strives to develop a workforce for the San Gabriel Valley’s biotech industry by teaching courses that give students more lab experience. Many of her students have interned for the collaborative’s companies. Pasadena Bio Collaborative Incubator was established in 2004 by the City of Pasadena, Pasadena City College, and CSU Los Angeles to work collaboratively with Pasadena’s higher education institutions, entrepreneurs, investors and other stakeholders to nurture high-tech bioscience start-ups.

currently cannot? Thought Exchange is unique in that is allows participants to assign “stars” to the ideas/ responses they like best, thus revealing which topics are of most importance to the test group. The three themes of most concern to participants were as follows: a safe and caring environment, academic achievement, and qualified teachers/staff. Conversely, when it came down to things appreciated, the same three themes received the most amount of “stars,” only in reverse order – qualified teachers/staff came in first with over 3,000 “stars,” followed by academic achievement and safe/caring learning environment. In response to the third question, the top three themes were as follows: academic achievement (nearly 5,000 stars), safe/caring learning environment, and student wellness/ development. Under the theme of academic achievement, over 2,000 participants said they would
like to see more enrichment programs, with another 1,000 interested in seeing more STEM and advanced learning programs. Several board members questioned the survey’s validity, fearful that results may have been skewed due to its electronic nature. “Many of our northwest schools had low parent responses … I am concerned we may have heard again from people we often hear from …. [this] might just lead us to want to do other kinds of outreach” said Kimberly Kenne, president of the board. Longtime Board Member Scott Phelps brought up the idea of a “digital divide” between higher and lower income parents. “Even if we do outreach, it doesn’t mean they are going to respond,” he added. “I think there was good participation, but the issue raised about it being skewed is serious,” said Dr. Meg Abrahamson, director of student support programs. The board also discussed the prioritization of future projects funded by MTT.
GET Ready
Nelson Cayabyab, chief facilities officer, proudly announced that, for the first time, the district is in full compliance and “will not be in a situation where future tax audit will be an issue.” He revealed that the district has spent over $235 million of MTT funds, leaving $126.75 million to fund a list of 27 projects, ranging from the modernization of sites, to the construction of new swimming pools. At the top of the list are four projects already under contract – projects include a variety of upgrades to Washington Accelerated, Pasadena HS, John Muir HS, and Blair HS. It is now up to the board to submit their thoughts on the re-prioritization of items that have not been contracted or have not entered bidding. The updated list will then be submitted to the facilities committee, before returning to the board for final approval, possibly as early as May. One project on the list, the re-opening of Linda Vista Elementary School, saw much sup-
port during public comment. Residents and representatives from local associations argued that the Linda Vista neighborhood has undergone significant demographic changes since the board voted to close the school in 2008. Speakers revealed that there has been an influx of young families over the past years – young families who would love to send their children to a local public school. The Linda Vista project currently stands at number 10 on the list, but the $900,000 in MTT funds committed only cover the planning/design phase. Cayabyab revealed that, as currently conceptualized, construction for the school would require an additional $11.5 million. Another speaker urged the board to prioritize projects for Wilson Middle School and PHS – sites which she argued have been forgotten and lack district support. To view the full Thought Exchange results and list of prioritized projects visit PUSD’s website, under the April 13 agenda.

Citrus College Named Military Friendly® School for Seventh Consecutive Year Designation reflects efforts to recruit, serve military students Citrus College has been named a Military Friendly® School for 2017. This is the seventh consecutive year the college has earned this recog-
nition. The Military Friendly® School designation by G.I. Jobs, a monthly magazine published by media company Victory Media, is awarded to
the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students and ensure
their success in the classroom. “I am proud to be a part of Citrus College’s welcoming community of students, faculty and staff who are here to support our service members,” said Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, superintendent/ president of Citrus College. “This designation of a Military Friendly® School is a testament to the dedicated support and assistance available at the college to members of the military transitioning to student life.” The college’s Veterans Success Center serves ap-
proximately 500 veterans annually. “We are honored to be recognized for the work we do for our students who have served, or who are currently in service to our country,” said Dr. Monica Christianson, director of the Veterans Success Center. “These men and women make a valuable contribution to our college community every day.” Located in a 3,700 square-foot facility that offers computers, quiet rooms for studying and a garden for veterans to maintain and grow food, the Veterans Suc-

Octavia E. Butler Exhibition at The Huntington Library By May S. Ruiz
O
ctavia E. Butler was the first science fiction writer to receive the prestigious MacArthur Foundation ‘genius’ grant and the first African American woman to win recognition writing in a genre dominated by male authors. For all her literary fame and awards, however, hers is not a household name. But this is about to change if Natalie Russell, were to have her way. She curated ‘Octavia E. Butler: Telling My Stories’ which opened to the public on April 8 and goes on until August 7, 2017 at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. On view in the West Hall of the Library in chronological order,
the retrospective includes approximately 100 items that reveal the author’s early years and influences, highlighting specific themes that repeatedly commanded her attention. States Russell, “I want everyone to get the same experience I had; find something new, thought-provoking, and inspiring. That’s what I hope I have done with this exhibition. ” Butler was born in Pasadena on June 22, 1947 to a maid and a shoeshine man. Her father died when she was very young and she was raised pri-
marily by her mother. A painfully shy, introverted child, she spent her time reading at the Pasadena Public Library where she discovered science fiction. At age twelve Butler saw a film called ‘Devil Girl from Mars’ and was convinced she could write something better. She later enrolled in every creative writing course at Pasadena City College to her mother’s disappointment, who wanted her to have a more reliable job as a secretary. In the early 1970s, Octavia E. Butler was the first science fiction at a workshop for minorwriter to receive the prestigious MacArthur Foun- ity writers, Butler met dation “Genius” Grant. science fiction author - Courtesy photo / The Huntington Library, Art Collec- Harlan Ellison, who introtions, and Botanical Gardens duced her to the Clarion

to have an after-school program and I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t come to the Village after school.” The funding rate for ASES, which subsidizes programs for students in kindergarten through ninth grade, has not changed in the past decade. “For me, I want to see successful programs firsthand,” Portantino said. “These kids are spectacular and it’s great to see such a successful program. This helps me articulate to the state what a thriving program looks like.” Selene Lockerbie, mother of two Monroe third-graders, attended the visit to speak with Portantino about the need to add after-school program funding. “Being a part of the Village program has been life changing for our fam-
ily,” Lockerbie said. “When we were told our girls had a place in the program, I was able to go back to work. If this program became unavailable to our family, I would have to stop working.” Monrovia Unified’s Village Extended School Program is supported by an ASES grant and serves more than 600 students, before and after school, at Bradoaks, Monroe, Plymouth and Wild Rose elementary schools, and Clifton and Santa Fe middle schools. Village fosters student academic, physical, social and emotional development. “These before- and after-school programs are a point of pride for our District,” Monrovia Unified Board President Bryan Wong said. “We were all very happy to have Sen. Portantino here to see our
MUSD
amazing Village Extended School program and what this funding does for our students and their parents.” Portantino chairs the state Senate Budget Subcommittee on Education, which reviews funding for after-school programs. Already, the static funding has prompted ASES programs to cut enrollment, enrichment activities, academic support, staff hours and staff training. Additional shortfalls and service cuts are anticipated statewide if funds do not increase. In addition to making the trip to Monroe Elementary, Portantino offered to pay for a flight to Sacramento for a Monrovia Unified student who would lobby for Senate Bill 78 on the Senate floor. The bill, authored by Sen. Connie Leyva, would provide additional funding to support
before- and after-school programs. “Our Village program is vital to the success of our participating students,” Monrovia Unified Super-
Science Fiction Workshop. There, among other likeminded writers, she learned to hone her craft and even sold her first story. Success proved elusive for a while, until 1975 when Butler sold her first novel, ‘Patternmaster’ to Doubleday, which quickly followed with ‘Mind of My Mind’ and ‘Survivors’. This trio came to be known as her ‘Patternist’ series, which depicts the evolution of humanity into three distinct genetic groups.
Butler’s readership continued to grow and with the publication of ‘Kindred’ in 1979 she was able to make a living on her writing alone. In 1984 she won her first Hugo Award for the short story ‘Speech Sounds’. Her

Get Ready to Travel to Distant Lands story and photos By Emily G. Peters
I
t’s not just a bookstore. It’s not just a luggage shop, or even a travel agency. Distant Lands is a resource; a travel emporium designed to equip those suffering from acute wanderlust. Distant Lands Travel Bookstore and Outfitter is one of those shops that makes you glad to live near Old Town Pasadena. Founded by Adrian Kalvinskas, this son of certified world traveler Louanne Kalvinskas spent his youth trekking the globe before graduating with a degree in history in late 1980s. Moved by his love for travel and books, Kalvinskas opened for business in 1989, ultimately joined by his wife, Susan Hickman, and mother. Together they expanded from bookstore to their present state as complete travel outfitter. “Since the beginning, Distant Lands has offered the best in travel guides, travel writing, journals, phrasebooks and more,” said Hickman. “We also carry a wide variety of maps, atlases and comprehensive selection of travel accessories, day bags, luggage and travel clothing.” More than retail, Distant Lands provides end-to-end travel services to the community. A freshly renovated website makes it simple for travelers to purchase travel goods online. Monday nights are reserved for in-store speakers, spotlighting authors, photographers, world travelers and packing experts who

freely share their expertise. And perhaps most conveniently of all, Hickman runs a travel agency right in the shop—a service she finds increasingly significant. “We’re most scared of things we don’t know much about,” she said. “More travelers will create understanding and leave less space for fear and suspicion. We want to help Americans be well-informed ambassadors to the rest of the world and welcome travelers from other countries and parts of the U.S. to Pasadena and California.” With plenty of self-appointed travel experts and slick travel scams
online, a store like Distant Lands becomes especially relevant to help travelers protect their vacation time. “There are lots of true clichés about travel—it makes the world smaller, brings people together, shows us how people in different cultures have more commonalities than differences,” said Hickman. “But if you’re uninformed, you can end up miserable and get ripped off. We want to equip travelers with the best information, gear and clothing they need to relax and enjoy their travel experience.”
In an era of online shopping, rising rent and staffing expenses, one could question their stability for the future. Yet Hickman remains confident that travelers’ need a way to sort through the glut of inaccurate travel information. “We will continue to help travelers find the best information along with the most useful tools and equipment for their journey,” she said. For the Distant Lands owners, the moti-
vation for this is simple. “Ultimately, we want to help people travel well.” Distant Lands Travel Bookstore and Outfitter is located at 20 S. Raymond Ave. in Old Town Pasadena.

Hanging Out in Huntington Beach, California By GREG aragon
H
untington Beach is legendary around the world as one of the best surfing spots. It's waves and beaches are so great, it is also officially known as "Surf City." But as I learned on a recent getaway, the town is more than just tasty swells and beautiful white sand; it also boasts gourmet restaurants, luxury, ocean-front hotels, great shopping, and tons of California coastal charm. My visit to Huntington Beach
began last week when a friend and I checked into the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel (www.shorebreakhotel. com), a surfer-chic boutique hotel centrally located in the heart of downtown, across from the iconic pier. Featuring four-star touches and ocean view guestrooms with modern furnishings, the Shorebreak makes a perfect beachfront base camp. Our fourth floor room came with a colorful beach-inspired décor,
two queen beds, large TV with two big comfy chairs, office area with desk, a fridge stocked with goodies for purchase, and a spacious bathroom with a shower big enough to wash your surf board. The highlight of the room was the balcony which overlooked town, the Pacific Ocean and the pier. Once acquainted with the hotel, we went exploring. Our first stop was lunch across the street at Sancho's Tacos. Here we filled up on authentic
Arroyo Boulevard in Pasadena. At the time, the restaurant had 37 seats and quickly became known as the premier hamburger place for the finest hamburgers, onion rings and hand-dipped fountain specialties. The present location featured memorable drive-up carhop service from the 1950s to the mid-1970s. The Little Stink-O, clothes pin and tear logo was trademarked by Mr. Twohey in 1943. It originated when he overheard a woman patron of the restaurant exclaim, “Oh-Stink-O,” when a gentleman next to her was served a hamburger generously garnished with onions and pickles.
Travel carne asada and chicken tacos, and nachos. We then we walked across Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Hwy) to the pier to check out classic cars at the 17th annual Beachcruiser Meet. Located on the Pier and a few nearby streets, the car show was highlighted by incredibly well-maintained "Woodies," those old woodpaneled wagons made for beach postcards and surf songs. The event also brought scores of immaculate convertibles, VW transporters and
other classics. After drooling over the cars, we walked a block to the International Surfing Museum (www.surfingmuseum.org), where we examined historic surf boards and memorabilia and learned about some of the most famous surfers of all time such as George Freeth and Eddie Aikau. The museum also has a life-size recreation of the Silver Surfer from Marvel Comics.

Sustained Happiness Starts From Within for Millennials
“W
hat is happiness? We can say happiness is this or that, but in terms of life, your life energies are happening in a more exuberant way than it normally happens,” according to yogi, visionary, and thought leader Sadhguru. Although children are naturally happy with things as simple as an empty box or a bucket of sand and some water, the cost of happiness increases in adulthood, Sadhguru explains. Many adults find that their happiness depends on outside forces, such as relying on someone else, obtaining something else, or engaging in additional activities. “Everybody has been happy, but the problem is they’re not able to maintain it,” Sadhguru notes. “All this effort of life, everything that you did — education, career, business, family, whatever you did —
was in pursuit of happiness. Everything that humanity has done on this planet is in pursuit of happiness,” he observes. But these factors can be seen as externally rather than internally driven. By contrast, another way to achieve sustained, long-term happiness involves starting from the inside. Sadhguru’s latest book, “Inner Engineering” offers guidance on how to achieve long-term happiness by focusing on yourself. The role of an Isha yoga practice, as outlined by Sadhguru, is one element in the process of developing sustained happiness. Isha yoga can help individuals develop happiness from within by building confidence and health. According to a recent survey of 536 adults who practiced Isha yoga, 98 percent reported improved mental clarity, 94 percent reported improved inner
peace, and 92 percent reported improved emotional balance. In addition, the Inner Engineering course “helps you put your life on self-start so you become in charge of your happiness, joy, and peace,” according to Sadhguru. The course includes guidance on how to manage all aspects of one’s being: mind, body, emotions, and “the fundamental life energy within.” Interested individuals who have read Sadhguru’s book and taken the Inner Engineering course online may be able to attend in-person classes this spring. Sadhguru will be conducting Inner Engineering in Spring, 2017, starting on April 29-30 in Tampa, Florida, and May 27-28 in Vancouver, British Columbia. For more information about Sadhguru and Inner Engineering, visit www.innerengineering.com.

Monrovia Edges Temple City, 2-1 Story and Photo By Christian Romo
W
ith two aces starting the game, the Rams and the Wildcats delivered the quick, low-scoring game many expected. But after capitalizing with two fourth-inning runs, Monrovia held off their league rivals to stay in second place in the Rio Hondo league. Getting seven strong innings from pitcher Britney Lopez, the Wildcats (9-10, 5-2 Rio Hondo) beat the Temple City Rams (311, 2-4 Rio Hondo), 2-1, Friday afternoon in Monrovia. Temple City starter Elliana Zellien had faced the minimum amount of batters through three innings before Monrovia’s bats broke through in the fourth. “We were getting jammed with inside pitches,” said Wildcats sophomore Ashley Oliva, “but once we recognized that, we were able to adjust and get some hits.” Oliva went 2-2, pulling an RBI single through the left side of the infield that put the Wildcats up 2-0 in the fourth.
But despite Oliva’s hitting, Monrovia’s offense was quiet, putting up only two hits from the other eight starters. “Our bats are a little weak right now,” said Lopez, “but we’re working, we’ll get there.” The Temple City bats were just as silent, matching Monrovia with four hits and managing only one run off a fielding error in the sixth inning. “We didn’t hit,” said Rams coach Bob Ellingsworth. “Our defense did fine, but we didn’t hit the ball.” Zellien bettered her counterpart’s performance with seven strikeouts through six innings, disorienting Monrovia’s batters with high velocity and spin, but three singles and a sacrifice fly in the fourth was all the Wildcats needed to win. “We can’t make our defense be perfect, and we can’t make our pitchers be perfect,” said Ellingsworth. Though Zellien shined, Lopez managed just as well, getting her third win of the season by forcing easy plays for her defense. “The last game, our infield

was a little shaky,” said Lopez, “but the last practice we worked hard to
make sure we had a strong defense.” After escaping a first-inning jam, the senior
captain finished with five strikeouts, giving up only four hits in seven innings of work. “Britney accounts for a lot of the team,” said Mayorga. “[The Rams] are a good hitting team, but
today Britney had her best coming.” The Wildcats are now 2-0 against the Rams this season and will go for the season sweep on April 28 at Temple City.

Wessie Mae was born October 20, 1924 in Tylertown, Mississippi to Penny Quinn and Wes Mc Gee. At the age of 12 years old, she accepted Jesus Christ in her life and ran the race her entire lifetime. According to Ecclesiastes 9:11, “The race is not given to the swift nor the strong but he who endures to the end.” More than 60 years ago, Wessie Mae came to California to seek better opportunities for her little children. Eventually making Pasadena their home where all her children were raised and educated.
All 16 children grew up in the church, and have come to know the Lord because of her strong faith and life style, a living example of the Word of God. She believed that her light must shine so other would see and ask, “What must I do to be saved?’ She was an active and faithful member of Lincoln Avenue Celestial Temple, in Pasadena, California for more than a half of century. At the time of death, she was the senior church mother. The Holiness Church, Church of God in Christ, was her entire life. Over the years, she was faithful on the 5 a.m. prayer line, led the 6 a.m. and noon day prayer, known as a prayer warrior, sat on the Mother’s Board, graciously and consistently supported the Building Fund “2408”, and shared her wisdom among the congregation. She was working in the ministry up until her death. She was preceded in death by her husband Fedro Dillon Sr., daughters Frances Hickingbot-
tom, and Mary Bell Sneed, and son Fedro Dillon Jr. She was blessed with 16 children and a plethora of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Wessie Mae’s loving memory will be cherished by daughters Barbara Harris, Katie Jefferson, Gloria Echols, Dorothy Grissom, Sheree Dillon, Centra Williams, Marion Barnes, Sheila Daniels, Judith Powell and Pamela Dillon; and son’s Sammie, Jesse and Wesley Dillon; and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends. More importantly, she will always be remembered by her favorite scripture Psalms 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd…” and hymn, “Call his name Jesus.” Official Home Going Services: Monday, April 24, 2017 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Metropolitan Baptist Church 2283 N.

Anna Mae Reidenbach Noble 1927 – 2017
O
n April first, shortly before midnight, Anna Mae Reidenbach Noble’s world adventure ended. Born February 23, 1927 to Frederick and Frances Reidenbach, Anna Mae was raised in South Orange, New Jersey, where she graduated from Columbia High School in 1943. In July 1945, she married James Noble, and in 1946 gave birth to the first of seven children. A few years later the young couple set up home in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, her home for nearly fifty years. In 1998, Anna Mae and Jim moved to San Clemente, California, and in 2015, she relocated a last time to Seattle, Washington to be close to family in the Northwest. In addition to raising seven children, Anna Mae gave back to the community in a myriad of ways, including serving as PTA president and scout leader, and working as a volunteer for numerous charitable causes. She explored artistic expressions through painting and decorating, and

produced an endless supply of hand-knitted gifts and expertly tailored clothes. She opened her home to all, including family, friends, foreign exchange students and a plethora of pets. In the 1970s Anna Mae enrolled at Pasadena City College where she earned an Associate of Arts degree. In 1984, after the nest had emptied, Anna Mae established Noble Adventure Tours, which had her escorting travelers to exotic destinations on all seven continents. She embraced challenges of all sorts, whether pushing herself
physically with treks in Tibet, or fighting for political and social causes in which she believed. A forty-year breast cancer survivor, she often visited women in the hospital who were facing the same challenge, and in the last few years of her life, not only battled effects of Parkinson’s Disease, but also established a Parkinson’s support group in Seattle so that others might be helped. Anna Mae is survived by her seven children: Kathleen, James, Mary, William, Christopher, Julie and Linda; fourteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren, with a fifth on the way, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Jim in 2010 and her sister Frances in 2015. She was a remarkable woman whose warm smile and boundless energy touched lives around the globe and will be dearly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Parkinson's Disease Foundation or Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research would mean the most to Anna Mae and her family.
