Saturday, September 13, 2008 | No comments posted.
Eddie Metcalf recently received a certificate of appreciation for contributing $700 to the Coos County Foster, Adoptive and Relative Parent Association.
Metcalf and his mother, Judy, raised the money during the National Foster Parent Walk Me Home event.
The money was raised in honor of “Grandma” Dorothy Quenzer, who babysat Metcalf when he was young, a press release said.
“May this gift continue the work in Grandma Dorothy’s spirit of giving and caring for the children of Coos County,” Metcalf said in the release.
At 72, Quenzer was certified as a foster parent in Coos County. From 1987 to 2004, she cared for more than 125 children here. In Montana, she cared for more than 300 children since she was certified as a foster parent in 1944.
“Dorothy provided care to many, many children,” former coworker, Nancylee Stewart, said in the release. “They were lucky to have this special person in their lives.”
