On opening day of The Osborn; Tuesday; April 21; 1908; 12 elderly gentlewomen stepped down from horse-drawn carriages and into a new life; a life that happened because of the vision of one remarkablewoman: Miriam Osborn. Seven years later; the first recorded history of the institution noted; "Every effort has been made to make this institution the finest in the world; and not only a fine institutionbut a real home." Polished by the sands of time; the modern Osborn has sustained that world-class status as one of the nations premier retirement communities. This volume celebrates those who preserved not so much a way of life but a philosophy of caring and a commitment to provide a real home that has endured for 100 years.
