How an afternoon snack led to building a Senior Retirement Center in a town of 8,000 people.
When the pastor called, Martha Kiggins, a shut-in, was finishing an afternoon snack of a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. It was a Wednesday afternoon in 1961. He asked her when was the last time she had eaten a good full-sized meal.
She thought a bit, then answered, "My nephew brought me a fine dinner on Sunday noon." Sunday to Wednesday! She said she wasn't hungry most of that time, so just had a piece of toast now and then. She looked like she needed nourishment.
