Dear Ms. Reitkopf:

The members of the recreation program and myself want to thank you for providing a wonderful evening of music on April 6, 2001. The entertainer was Roy Ramos, who provided us with an evening of wonderful music. Mr. Ramos was very sociable and related exceptionally well with all the members. He performed for an hour and was well received by the twenty-five members present.

The evening was extremely therapeutic from several viewpoints. Mr. Ramos music suited the senior members as well as the younger ones. He motivated the members to sing along, creating a delightful sensation and an immense interaction between the members and himself. Mr. Ramos was very conversational and created a feeling of partnership.

Again, than you for such a wonderful evening, and I hope you will be able to provide this form of entertainment to the members of Fedcap in the future,

Regards,
Albert Hernandez

The residents' response has been overwhelming; aphasic residents keep time with their fingers and toes, severly cognitively impaired residents blink their eyes and smile; agitated/restless residents are soothed.

Roy always manages to find enough time to visit residents in the day room of the three units he visits. As soon as the residents see him getting off of the elevaotr, those who can , self-propel their wheelchairs toward him while making requests. Some residents begin singing along, clapping their hands to the sound of familiar songs, and, now and then, we see a tear rolling down a cheek and hear a resident say, "I'm crying because he brings back such wonderful memories."

Roy brings hope, comfort and encouragement; he taps the residents' memories and brings forth a sense of calm and peace as he helps them remember the richness of their own identity.

The service for the wandering minstrel is fully supported by a grant from the Brooklyn Home for Aged Men.
