    Host: Carol MacAllister Guest: Dick Coyne Description: Dick Coyne and his wife moved to Willow Valley in 2019 after a substantive career in the US Department of Health and Human Services. He spearheaded the program that ensures children enter public school with the key vaccines that prevent highly contagious, devastating childhood diseases. Then he created a system within the Department that put evidence-based medicine and medical equipment in front of Medicare for the betterment of all mankind. What a legacy. After retirement he became a tour guide for several years and then the Coyne’s moved to Willow Valley where Dick immediately joined the Resident Council for the North. When that tenure was done, he led the WV Team Member Appreciation Fund, reaching record contributions even without full resident participation. What’s next? Listen and find out. It will amaze you

    Host: Candy O’Donnell Guest: Ray Loewe Description: In this podcast, Ray Loewe describes the Conference Event that he is planning for June 12th, 2025, at the Willow Valley Conference Center. The purpose of this conference, The Magic Continues, is to learn about tools and techniques to live life to the fullest. This conference, similar to Mr. Loewe’s Conference Event held last year in 2024, is part of a series of conferences started 30 years ago by Mr. Loewe. This year, the Conference will have two speakers, followed by lunch at the Willow Valley Conference Center Ballroom. The first speaker, Tracey Gates, who wrote a book entitled “ The Power of a Few Kind Words,” will describe her project of writing one letter of gratitude a day for a year, and what she gained from this. The second speaker, Deborah Brandt, the Producer of Fig Magazine Lancaster, explores what we can do and who we can meet in Lancaster to help us live life to the fullest. Afterwards, there will be a lunch, which will allow people to network, to meet speakers, and to bounce ideas off others at the conference. Ray’s Goal is to continue this conference event a few times a year, to be held at Willow Valley.

  • E154: The Smallpox Vaccine and Bobbie Walsh

    E154: The Smallpox Vaccine and Bobbie Walsh
    2025/03/20
    Host: Carol MacAllister Guest: Barbara (Bobbie) Walsh Description: Today, we all take vaccines for granted, and some even ignore them, but most seniors remember the diseases that plagued our childhoods and for which vaccines were miracle cures. Bobbie Walsh was one of those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly for 32 years creating vaccines for many diseases, but notably smallpox, which killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone. This is the story of how the smallpox vaccine was created in our central PA backyard (the Wyeth Labs in Marietta). On May 8, 1980, the World Health Organization declared smallpox eradicated worldwide. But if it should rear its ugly head again, the CDC still has enough vaccine to stop it.
