At the Mansion, The Man In The Kitchen

by Jon Katz

I’ve been meaning to take Charlie’s photo for sometime. He’s the Mansion chef, the man in the kitchen. This is not a simple job, there are all kinds of federal and state regulations, all kinds of individual needs and health issues.

Charlie works with a great sense of humor and patience, he has a lot of fussy and fragile customers. The residents were glad to see  him there tonight, most of them have been evacuated to other residences while the Mansion’s roof and water lines are repaired.

Last night, there were only three or four people still in the Mansion with Kelly, an aide. Charlie made sandwiches for each of them, his cheerfulness and skill is much appreciated by the residents.
