Following 30 years of dedicated service to the Roosevelt Wlrm Springs lnstirute for Rehabiliration (RWSIR), including the last 19 as executive director, Frank Ruzycki recently announced his retirement. It was to be effective June 1.
A native of Connecticm who first came to Wlrm Springs as an assistant administrator with the then Georgia Wlrm Springs Foundation in 1974, Ruzycki left after three years to become assistant executive director of the Easter Seal Society in Pittsburgh, Pa. , before reruming as deputy director of what had since become the srate-managed Roosevelt lnstirute in 1979.
He was named executive director in 1986 and has since overseen a period of dramatic expansion and change in the lnstirute's management, facilities and services, including the sran of the Roosevelt Wlrm Springs Development Fund, the nonprofit, fundraising arm for Roosevelt Wlrm Springs and the organization responsible for raising over $15 million in public-private pannership money since its beginning in 1986.
ln announcing his depanure, Ruzycki said, "How lucky l have been to serve this fine, wonderful place with the greatest people in the world. l am grateful for the opponunity that l have had. "
Much more on his retirement will be fonhcoming in our next Spirit. You won't want to miss it.

Two Roosevelt Grandchildren Visit With Campobello Group
Recently, two of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's grandchildren visited Warm Springs as members of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission. Chris Roosevelt from ew York is the
son of FDR, Jr., and Chandler Lindsey of Dallas,
who was here for the first time, is the daughter of Elliott Roosevelt, the son featured most prominently in the recent movie "Warm Springs."
The expansive summer home where FDR first contracted polio in 1921, Campobello is actually located on an island off the coast of Maine and technically in Canada. Today it is a historic si te much like The Little White House. The Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission has equal representation from Canada and the United States and the group visiting Warm Springs numbered approximately 25 people, including Iowa Senator Tom Harkin.

David Wise, Keith Scott and Elva Pierce are typ ical of the clients benefiti ng from the Roosevelt Institute's Brain Inju ry Day Program .

By Martin Harmon
A year removed from its nearly five-year location in the Roosevelt Wmn Springs Medical Rehabilitation Unit (MRU) , the Brain lnjury Day Program is an example of progress through change, consistency and ex'Pansion, all at the same time.
Now housed in the RWS Vocational Rehabilitation Unit (VRU), its client base is up, its funding is more secure, and its space is better than ever.
"The decision to switch the program from a billing-based program in the medical unit to a residential program in the vocational unit funded by a Federal Gram was an immediate success, " said Roosevelt Wmn Springs Deputy Director Dave Parmer. "We already knew that 85 to 90 percent of our day program clients were coming from the vocational uni t and that many more potential vocational customers wanted access to the program

if we made it residential, so it made perfect sense. Overnight it went from a struggling program to one that has referrals from all over the state and is now well funded. "
Admissions have now been streamlined, the space available in the VRU auxiliary wing is larger and more conducive to therapy with fewer intenuptions and distractions, and the Federal money has eased the burden of keeping clients involved in treatment as long as necessary. As Kay Harbin, a certified brain injury specialist who has now directed the program in both the MRU and VRU settings stated recently, "It's much easier to do it here. "
Harbin, who moved with the program last April, leads a staff that includes Dr William]. Mclntosh, a consulting neuropsychologist to Roosevelt Wmn Springs for almost 20 years, Katherine Noonan, a psychology post-doctoral intern specializing in

brain injury rehabilitation and neuro-psychology, and program as.sistant Cheny Chapman. Supervising the program in its new VRU location is Carlton Brooks, the lnstitute's Director of Residential Services, who actually helped start the Day Program in 1998 while a member of the medical unit staff.
The majority of the program's clients are now students (mostly mid-teen to young adult) in the lnstitute's Vocational Rehabilitation Unit with easy access and better communication with the VRU's counseling staff. It's also stimulated more referrals for the VRU , "with a greater expectation of them being successful here," according to Harbin.
"Through our efforts with memory retention and cognitive activities, we are finding many of our students transition easier to ProWork and the Worksite Partnership Program, two of the big reasons many want to come here," Harbin added.

Kay Harbin (front) leads a Day Program staff that includes Cherry Chapman, Katherine Noonan and Dr. William Mcintosh .

"Each weekday we scan wim one hour of independent work, followed by one hour of cognitive group work, one hour of adjustment to disability group merapy, lunch, and men me social or physical aspecrs of me program in me afremoon

such as arts and crafts, merapeutic recreational activities like learning sign language or horseback riding, and even aerobic acti'~ ties for srrengm and coordination, including aquatic exercise."
The typical lengm of stay in me Day Program

lasts four to eight months and, through such mings as Workers Compensation and private pay insurance, as well as me essential assistance of the Roosevelt Institute Transponation Depanment, participants (in addition to me residential VRU clients) come from mroughout a 50-mile radius.
David Wise of Smim, Ala., is one of mose within mat radius attending via Workers Compensation. He's picked up by RWSIR Transportation in Columbus and has been involved for over a year According to Harbin, he's improved to me point where he "rakes a leadership role wim me other students. ,,
Omer recent attendees, Elva Pierce of Livonia and Keim Scan of Valdosta, are typical of the VRU students involved in the program. Pierce, who was injured in an accident in 1998, just likes coming every day, "seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones." And Scott, who suffered his brain injury in May of 1999, likes the independence he's learning. "It's a cool program, " he said. 'Tm cooking, I'm S\vimming and I'm doing all kinds of mings mat will help me be more independent when l leave. That's important. "

By Martin Harmon Roosevelt Institute success stories are not hard
to f-ind. In fact, they are encountered on every level of service in Wcirm Springs nearly every day.
Whether it's a stroke patient or amputee regaining their ability to walk, a vocational student graduating with a GED or job training certificate, or a local wheelchair athlete qualifying for the Paralympics at the Dixie Games, Roosevelt Warm Springs is a place where happy endings have a way of surfacing.
Tim Butler is one such success story and you don't have to go far to f-ind the manager of the Institute's Rehabilitation Technology Department, where he's been employed since 1990. Prior to that hire, he was a vocational student at the Institute and before that an inpatient recovering from a serious car accident that left his left leg amputated below the knee, his right tibia externally fixated , plates in both wrists, rods in both femurs and eventually a bone infection so serious that he had to go back into the hospital and have much of it done all over again. eedless to say, he was a candidate to never walk again.
The one-car accident, in nearby Griffin , took place in December of 1987. After the 'jaws of life" separated the then 21-year-old Butler from the wreckage of his pickup, he was stabilized at Griffin Hospital and eventually airlifted to Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta (now Atlanta Medical Center), where he stayed for a month. What followed was a year of intense home therapy and over a year of recovery, including his second major surgery following the onset of osteomyelitis.
The man responsible for Butler ending up in Warm Springs was Bobby Caldwell, a Rehabilitation Services counselor in Griffin . "He got me set up here as an inpatient," Butler said . "At the time of my accident, I was working construction and really had no health insurance to speak of, but my Dad was a maintenance scheduler for Delta (Air Lines) and a guy he worked with , Charlie Bogan, started a Tim Butler Fund to help pay my doctor's bills, which by that time were running into the thousands." Later, Butler also used his auto insurance to repay about $50,000 to Georgia Baptist, which had written off all of his expenses.
Tim Butler now manages the lnstitute's ReTech Department, among the oldest and most respected prosthetic and orthotic providers in th e count1y.

Upon arriving at the Roosevelt Institute in a wheelchair, Butler was introduced to Dr. Paul Peach , his case manager, Bob Seymour, his therapist, Brian Iverson, and his prosthetist, Richard Broom, who fitted him with his first artificial leg. A month later, he walked out using a cane.
"Everything was a struggle, both mentally and physically," he now admits. "When they first put that artificial leg on, I felt like giving up all over again . But through it all I began to realize I was blessed just to be alive. Through the encouragement of people in Warm Springs and by seeing other patients worse off than I was, my attitude began to change."
Every four to six weeks, Butler would return to Warm Springs as an outpatient. Gradually his "stump" began to shrink and his leg had to be refitted two more times. Although previously denied disability payments, a local judge

eventually came to Butler's rescue and Caldwell instigated a job search for his still recovering client. About that same time, he learned of the lnstitute's Vocational Rehabilitation Unit.
Already married and a father, he found he could attend as a day student and the VRU 's Robert Vaughn became his counselor. Older than the typical VRU student, he seized on the opportunity to do his Worksite Partnership training (see cover story) in the Rehabili tation Technology Department, where Broom became his mentor. Five months later, he was offered a full time job as an orthotic trainee.
"The folks in the Brace Shop (ReTech) treated me like family from the start," he said . "Richard introduced me to Bill Crowder, the senior orthotist, as well as Sanford Bradshaw, Donnie Alford , Sidney Stevens, Charles Carter and Ellis Florence. They made me feel at home. I started out with Richard in prosthetics and later othotics,

and then wheelchairs with Ellis and Charles." A technician slot opened a year later. Butler
applied and advanced , and eventually he was promoted to orthotic tech IL In 1998, he was named onhotic manager and in 2003 department manager, a post he proudly maintains to this day as a member of the long and distinguished Roosevelt ReTech legacy
"Thanks to God and Roosevelt Warm Springs, I'm where I'm at today," he stated recently. "! don't mind telling you that I was a young hell raiser going down the wrong road fast and I got knocked down. I felt like life was over, but now I feel like God put me here to help people and myself, and I'm still being rehabilitated. I look forward to coming to work every day I've experienced the spirit of Warm Springs as both a patient and a caregiver and that's a double blessing I've been privileged to share."

By Martin Harmon They come seeking independence. They come looking
for job skills. They come hoping for an employable future in their home communities.
They are young people with disabilities at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation , students - ages 18 to 25, from throughout Georgia enrolled in the Vocational Rehabilitation Unit, students who , for the most part, are bound for the Worksite Partnership Program , a key component of the Roosevelt Warm Springs vocational rehabilitation experience.
At any particular time, about 75 percent of the approximately 170 students in the VRU are involved, or will be, in the Worksite Partnership Program. Usually they have already been exposed to the VRU 's Independent Living Skills and ProWork Programs by the time they are ready to take on the role of unpaid interns at off-campus or on-campus worksites.
"The purpose is to provide students with work experience and transferable job skills when they return home. They are paid through knowledge and experience," stated Carol Morrison , one of six vocational coordinators at the VRU. The others include Gary Corday,Jane Bryant, Kathy Morgan,Joe Chrobak and George Zachry. Supervising them is Cathy Gates, an Institute veteran of 27 years who serves as Director of Employment Development Services. Chris Phillips is the program assistant.
Determining a student's vocational goals by exploring their individual capabilities and interests is among the program 's first priorities. The coordinators utilize the Georgia Career Information System, various interest inventories and a series of career explorations to determine a job match for each individual student. During this process the students are taught entry and intermediate level skills needed to secure job placement.
The next order of business is finding a match betv,reen the student and the worksite. "That means we've got to know as much about our prospective worksites and the management at those sites as we do about our individual students," Chrobak stated. "We need to know the management style, the environment the students 'viii be in and who they will be working \vith. As a result, we must be knowledgeable of a variety of worksites. The more we know, the better we can make the fit."
According to Bryant, about 20 percent of the worksites actually recruit the Institute. "There are negotiations, a give-and-take between them and us, " he said. "When we get a phone call or an e-mail saying 'we would like to work with you and your students again ,' it's always gratifying. "

There are usually 85 to 90 worksites involved with the program , including approximately 50 that never change.
ew worksites are added only after establishing that the student intern will not displace regular workers or take on previously established workloads. In other words, they are there to learn and assist, not to be solely responsible for regular tasks.
Through the help of the Roosevelt Institute Transportation Department, worksites can be up to 50 miles away, a bonus considering the Institute's location in a rural, small town setting incapable of providing the total number of necessary intern opportunities. Sites currently include locations as far away as LaGrange (35 miles) and there is hope of expanding the program to Columbus (40-50 miles) , where larger companies might offer more repetitive type jobs not as prevalent in the immediate vicinity.
Most of the businesses or organizations involved as worksite partners also provide assistance in job search efforts as graduating students return to their hometowns. Most will provide letters of recommendation , greatly enhancing counselors' efforts to not only provide on-the-job training but also full time or part-time job placement.
"Obviously, if you are a manager of a Kroger on the other side of the state and you get a recommendation for an applicant from the manager of Ingles in Woodbury or PigglyWiggly in Manchester (both participating worksites), that letter or phone call has instant credibility," Chrobak stated. "That reference along with the resume that is developed in our Employability Skills Class helps a lot with pro pective employers when our students are back home seeking that first job."
Horace Dennis, a vocational evaluator at the Institute when the program was started in the mid 1970s, remembers it as the On-The-Job Training Program in its early stages. Well-known Callaway Gardens in nearby Pine Mountain was among the first worksite partners to sign up.
"It's definitely one of the most efficient ways to introduce people to work and the develop job skills," Dennis said. "I think it's also added something really positive to our community. It provides a positive for everyone."

Along with Gary Corday, the other Roosevelt Wann Springs vocational coordinators include Jayne Bryan, Kathy Morgan , George Zachry, Joe Chrobak and Carol Morrison .

By Ken Harris
About Angels and Doves : American history has been enchanted by the extraordinary deeds that enhanced this republic, by the exemplary contributions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There are libraries, monuments, former residences, streets, highways and even towns that bear his name to memorialize the changes in the world during one generation. There are national programs he initiated that to this day continue to enhance lives one citizen at a time. But, FDR's beloved Warm Springs is where his heart and spirit still oversee that defining legacy of repairing broken bodies and souls.
FDR inspired an unending stream of guardian angel volunteers (the Doves) to raise money. Sixty years after he quietly, and in storied fashion, took his las t breath in his place of peace, his Guardian Doves still do what he must have known they would do, perpetuate rehabilitation one person at a time. We always hear the gentle but resonant cooing of Doves, but almost never see them. Their defining characteristics as people are advocates of peace, conciliation and negotiation.
The Roosevelt Warm Spring Development Fund's Guardian Doves of today are a cadre of special people dedicated to these hallowed grounds. Led into the 21st Century by Chairman ]. Bruce Williams,Jr. , (Bruce) who it appears was born to be the modem benefactor. Often organizations speak in terms of "born to be
leaders," but our Bruce was literally born to Warm Springs. His recent late mother,Jane Elizabeth Crowder Williams (August 23 , 1917 - April 24, 2005) , and father, John Bruce Williams, Sr. , met while employed at the
Chain nan]. Brnce W illiams, J r.

Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, so Bruce's

roo ts and spirit are of this land. His infectious

and resonant talk of Roosevelt Warm Springs

grabs the unsuspecting listeners as his riveting

eyes tell them he is a true believer and would

have them love and support the vision as he

does . He is a servant leader who does not ask

anything of others before he does it himself.

Therefore, 25 other Guardian Doves raise money

and "fund the vision" in his brilliantly lit wake.

The Trustees or Guardian Doves, however, are

not a stoic or crusted group that the stereotypical

image of the title might engender. They are a

collection of quick-witted, gifted communicators

who can give an intelligent listener enough one-

liners in a single sitting to launch a comedy

career. Our vice-chairman , Senior Judge James

W Oxendine (of the Gwinnett Coun ty Superior

Court), for example, is dynamic and one of our

muscular Doves , one who can spin a listener

into a 360-degree circle with five one-liners in a

row before the realization occurs that they have

been asked and have agreed to become a

supponer of his beloved Roosevelt Warm Springs.

In fact, judge Oxendine and his wife, Phyllis,

were the Co-Chairs of our 17th Annual 2005

Georgia Hall Ball, which raised in excess of

$220,000. If you're lucky enough to talk with

Phyllis, she'll give you a different southern

antidote every day on a different subject. But

she too is a gifted and fearless fundraiser who

will telephone a complete srranger and ask for a

donation of their best product for auction at the

ball and get it for free! In other words, she

delive rs.

The Ball's 2005 auction chairperson, Gwendolyn

Dean Dykes (CEO, Dean Diversified Services,

Inc.), who became a

Trustee at the end of

2003, also stepped

up in a big way and

applied her

"diversified" skills

right away. A very

savvy and experienced

volunteer fundraiser

and advisor, she had

auction items coming

from every comer of

Metro Atlanta.

Gwendoly n

Rounding out this

Dean Dykes

GHS Ball team was freshman Trustee Wayne

Reece (principal, Reece and Associates) the

2005 sponsorship chair, who, with the help of

Georgia's Insurance CommissionerJohn

Oxendine, helped raise over $122 ,000.

There are other Guardian Doves - for instance

Judges Frank]. Jordan,Jr. (Chattahoochee

Judicial Circuit), ]. Dixon Belk (Worker's

Compensation) and Douglas C. Pullen (also

wi th Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit). There's also a bevy of Guardian Dove Esquires such as attorney James E. Butler, Jr. (Butler, Wooten, Fryhofer, Daughtery & Sullivan) and both current and former elected officials like State Rep. Carl Von Epps, Senator Daniel W Lee, State Rep.Jimmy Skipper and " ookie" Meadows.
When the subject gets around to "where is the money" our Guardian Dove bankers stop smiling like some silent signal went off and one wonders if the calculators in the computer software can be trusted. That group includes Daniel W Brinks (president and CEO, Bank of Upson), Edgar E. Chapman ,Jr. (chairman and president, Talbot State Bank), jimmy Hill (chairman of the board, Greenville Banking Company) , D. Gaines Lanier (chairman and CEO, ]. Smith Lanier and Company) and our treasurer, Stephen A. Melton (president and CEO, Columbus Bank and Trust) They provide a loyal financial watch.
Then there are doctors, who are both Angels and Doves many times over, and Board members, too - James P. McGowan , M.D . (president, Clark-Holder Clinic) , David L. Foy, DDS, and]. Harper Gaston, M.D. (president, Gaston Enterprises) .
The capitalist Guardian Doves represented by Mrs. Paula W Dougherty (business owner), and Donna R. McNeilly (retired former president of a Manpower subsidiary) ,James Edwin Johnston , Sr. (president, E.L. Johnston Auto Parts), Charles H. Hood (vice president, Georgia-Pacific Corporation), and secretary Erik Vonk (chairman and CEO, Gevity HR) are all business leaders.
And our one college president, Dr. Stuan Gulley of LaGrange College, who manages to raise money for two loves at the same time, exemplifying how very special this place, Roosevelt Warm Springs , is in the hearts of all our Trustees.
The fact is these wonderful Guardian Doves keep a constant Oow of revenue for the needs of Roosevelt Warm Springs, which is what FDR always put in the forefront of his efforts to fulfill his vision of a world-class rehabilitation center. The $15 million already raised by the Fund has: co-funded one building and will soon co-fund another; renovated historic Georgia Hall ; paid for advertising and marketing of our diversified rehabilitation and vocational services ; continued the education of a plethora of staff disciplines; built Camp Dream for special needs children and adults; hosted numerous international competitions for disabled athletes; and, a multitude of other things even FDR couldn't have imagined.
We salute them on behalf of the patients and vocational students (6 ,000 a year), our more than 500 staff members and our administrators - thank yo u!

2005 GHS Ball... A Dream Come True!
By: Dawn Fr ee/in
Our mys tical February journey to fabled Siam now seems like a dream and , like most dreams, it ended all too soon. The 2005 Georgia Hall Society Ball took gues ts on a journey filled with the allure of ancient Thailand.
Approxi mately 400 guests participated in the 17th Annual Georgia Hall Society Ball , February 12th . The evening was elegant, with exotic decorations furnished by Details of the Gardens. Special musical guest, Dr. Pat Sallarulo, provided musical entertainment while guests socialized and perused the large array of silent auction items on display. An exotic gourmet dinner followed, courtesy of Ursula's Catering. Follmving the excitement of the live auction, 14 Karat Gold , a topnotch Motown band, provided plenty of inspiration as the evening progressed.
The evening was also a great finan cial success, \vith net proceeds exceeding $220,000. Ball chairs, Senior Judge James Oxendin e and his wife, Phyllis, along with Sponsorship Chairman, Wayne Reece, played significa nt roles in raising and increasing financial support fo r the event. In addition, Georgia Insurance
Commissionerj ohn Oxendine helped coordinate donations fro m the insurance industry of almost $120 ,000. The combined efforts of each of these individuals resul ted in a tremendous financial achievement and "raised the bar" for sponsorship expectations in the future. Auction chairs, Gwendolyn and Jim Dykes, also worked diligently to make the silent and live auctions successful, both fro m an economic and fun stand point.
As yo u know, the Georgia Hall Society Ball is an important source of private support for the Roosevelt Institute and its Development Fund. This gala event is patterned after FDR's Presidential Birthday Balls that were held duri ng the '30s and '40s on behalf of polio treatment and research. Today the Ball provides opportunities to support the Institute's diverse rehabilitation services and significa ntly impacts the thousands of Geo rgians who depend on these services. The Ball also provides a special occasion to thank our loyal donors, the Georgia Hall Society (listed at right), who an nually support the Institute's mission "to empower individ uals with disabilities to achieve personal independence''. As this year evolves, I hope that you will consider becoming a partner in the great wo rk that takes place here and share in the ac hieve ments of this importa nt cause. If you have any questions about the Institute or the Georgia Hall Society, please contact Dawn Freelin at 706-655-5670 or dawn.freelin @dol.state .ga. us. Help make our dreams come true.

In Memory of John Conant
john Conant, a longtime friend and supporter of the Roosevelt lnsti rote, passed away in March 2005.
Mr. Conant's association \vith the Institute began 60 years ago, when in 1945 he contracted polio while stationed \\oth the U.S. Arrny in the Philippines. He was one of 20 servicemen who were sent to Warrn Springs that year for rehabilitation. His stay in Kress Hall so profoundly impacted his life that in 1988 he and his ,vife Mariam "Bimby" Conant (whodassed away in 2003) extensively renovate the builaing. Since then , Kress Hall has provided housing for countless outpatients coming to Warrn Springs for services and family members of those who are here for inpatient services.
Mr. Conant's involvement continued through the 1990s when he served as Honorary Chairman of the campaign for construction of the Center for Therapeutic Recreation and as the Convenor of the Roosevelt Warrn Springs Development Fund Advisory Board.
An avid supporter of pastoral services at the Institute, Mr. Conant for several years supported the chaplain's salary before making a major gift in 2004 to the Chaplaincy Program Endowment as a challenge to others to support the !ns.titute's programs of ~e~abilitation of the mind, body... and spmt.
