Doris Holmes Blake - Correspondence with Lucy Wentworth Holmes, March 1945 - January 1946
In a crisis or in long-term challenging circumstances, it is usually the most visible participants who receive recognition—a general or president handling a global conflict, emergency responders and health officials navigating a deadly pandemic—and not enough attention is given to those everyday heroes at home and in our communities who continue to work tirelessly to keep life moving forward. In the aftermath of the second World War, Lucy Wentworth Holmes, Doris Holmes Blake's mother, is one of those people, whose intimate knowledge of and care for her friends and neighbors is a credit to humanity. Be inspired along with your fellow volunpeers by her resilience.
Doris Holmes Blake - Correspondence with Lucy Wentworth Holmes, November 1948 - May 1949
Have you ever had a problem you just couldn't shake? An irritation that becomes a preoccupation, that flavors your thoughts and peppers your conversation with others? For Lucy Wentworth Holmes, mother of Doris Holmes Blake, in the spring of 1949, that particular bugbear was an infestation of termites in their woodpile. But true to form, while it is continually on her mind, Lucy remains practical and focused on a solution. Join your fellow volunpeers in seeing what other struggles Lucy solved as she went about her day-to-day!
