Many of you may already know Marian as one of the smiling and friendly faces at the cashier station in the North Hills Cafeteria. Besides her cheerful nature and sense of humor, she's probably best known for calling everyone she meets "Sis" or "Bud." What you might not know is that she has an absolute passion for movies.-Washington Regional Medical Center Employee Newsletter. There is no more employee newsletter, so we started a blog.

MARIAN IS TURNING 80.
That's right, Marian aka Granny, is turning 80 on December 11th. Please send her a birthday wish via the comments on this page! She has no idea that anyone reads this thing. Granny has been taking me to movies since I was able to sit through one. We have seen everything from "The Shaggy D.A." to "The Return of the Pink Panther" to "Sixteen Candles" to "Porky's". Her selections then were just as random as they are today. I love her dearly and couldn't be happier that she's turning 80 and isn't even thinking of slowing down. She retired from Washington Regional this year, but has continued to travel and keep herself busy. She's a very special lady. I love you Granny!
One other note: I'll be running in an Arthritis Foundation Jingle Jog in honor of Granny who suffers from arthritis. The run is on December 14th. Feel free to pledge a few bucks if you have any to spare. http://JBRW.brooklyn.kintera.org/dawnmadell
Thanks!
