Smiles, tears mark donation of auxiliary's assets

Amidst smiles and tears, Dotty Metcalf, left, executive director of the Foundation for Senior Care, accepts the donation of a wheelchair-equipped van from the Fallbrook Hospital Auxiliary from auxiliary members B.J. Johnson, right, president; Marilyn Qualls, van dispatcher; and volunteer Peggy Comeau. Since Fallbrook Hospital has closed, the auxiliary is disbanding and donating its assets to other worthy efforts in the community. Christine Rinaldi photos
