As I strolled through the parking lot my eyes were down to dodge the puddles so I wasn't expecting to see a Life EMS vehicle in front of the Fred Meijer building and immediately concerned for whomever was inside. Imagine my shock when my eyes locked with none other than Lena Meijer herself. She was waiting patiently to be assisted into the building, a slight smile on her face and looking every bit the matriarch. I was thrilled to see that she was still spry enough to be attending board meetings, even well into her nineties, turning 97 this month!
I was also surprised how many people stopped in their morning routine to greet her, and share their gratitude for her presence. There was talk of the weather, of the upcoming LPGA tournament and of course how lovely she looked in her suit today. I was touched by their care and was happy to have started my day sharing a smile with Lena Meijer.
