Senior focus From England with love . . .

“RSVP Reflections,” submitted by Thelma Burkhardt, director Volunteer of the Week Dr. George Burdon has been a resident at Asbury Towers for six years, and he celebrated his 90th birthday on last May 12. To commemorate the occasion, he and his family invited the patients in the health center at Asbury to join them in the dining room for ice cream and birthday cake. His two daughters, Mildred Lorain Rossell and Sarah Elizabeth Chrissman, son-in-law Mr. Chrissman and granddaughter were present for the festivities. Although Dr. Burdon has been in the states for many years, he has still retained his British accent. He was born at Langley Moor, England, the 10th of 12 children. He had five brothers and six sisters. His father was a tailor and had the distinction of tailoring a suit for King Edward VII. BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER’S ill health the family came over from England in 1904. His father had taken out the first papers for citizenship when he died. If this had been completed, young George would have become a citizen through his father’s citizenship. However, he became a citizen later on his own. George Burdon’s mother gave him SIOO and her blessing when he left for the Moody Bible Institute. For a short time he was able to make ends meet by serving as a waiter in a vegetarian restaurant, but he later became a student pastor for two churches that helped finance his education. While at the Moody Bible Institute, he became friends with a fellow student who invited him to his home. On that visit Mr. Burdon met his future wife and his friend became his brother-in-law. However, that was some years later, after he completed his schooling. In the meantime, the future Mrs. Burdon taught school. They were married in 1917. DURING WORLD WAR I, Rev. Burdon was a member of the Home Guard in Illinois. He was pastor of a church in Griggsville, at the time, and he was asked to take an official position in the Home Guard, but he declined saying he wanted to be “one of the men.” He also served as secretary of the Red Cross and received a citation from the government for his services on the home front. He is the recipient of several other honors. He received the Certificate of Recognition from the McCormick’s Theological Seminary, a medallion for nearly 50 years of outstanding service to the Boy Scouts of America, and his name has been placed in the “Indiana Lives,” the Who’s who in Indiana. Before retiring from the ministry in 1957, Dr. Burdon served in several Methodist Churches in Indiana. He was pastor of churches in Lafayette, South Bend, Clinton and two in Terre Haute. AFTER RETIRING HE WENT back to England for the first time since coming to America. He and his wife spent several months traveling in Europe, three of the months were spent in England, North Ireland and Scotland where he appeared as visiting minister in thirteen Methodist churches. Now that he has settled in Greencastle, he says that he feels like “a stranger in a strange land.” Not knowing anyone, yet being a friendly person with the need to be useful, he became an RSVP volunteer a year ago. Since then he makes regular visits to see the patients in Sunset and Greencastle Nursing Homes, using the transportation offered only when the weather is too inclement or the distance is too far. He smiles and says “they know me now,” meaning the people that look forward to seeing him each week. *** THE RSVP ADVISORY Committee will
