Stories mentioning Arjean
- Early Morning Journeys and Friendship in the HospitalDiana traces the unexplained falls and progressive skin and leg changes that led Dr. Menton to refer her to Illinois Research Hospital in Chicago. Early morning family drives combined the comforting smell of coffee and cheese sandwiches with the fear of examinations and long waits. As illness interrupted school, Mrs. Lynch tutored her at home. Repeated hospital stays brought painful procedures and treatments, but also friendship with Loopy Gonzalez, hallway races, water-balloon mischief, Friday hamburgers, parties, special dresses, chapel services, and visits from family and friends. She also remembers homemade food and a church-donated basket from which she could open one present each day.
- Elmhurst Visits and a Zoo-Day TreatThe family made short trips to visit Ray and Arjean Moos and their four boys in Elmhurst near Chicago. Mom held a book in front of her eyes to avoid watching Daddy's fast driving and weaving on two-lane roads. The trips were special treats, often including a day at Lincoln Park Zoo.
