Laverne Maxwell, Bay Pines volunteer.

Laverne was more than just another volunteer at Bay Pines VAMC. She would be dressed as a clown and greet Vets at the modules, in the elevators or wherever she would see them. Her speciality was to visit each ward and bring a smile on the face to all. She never was too busy to say a few words or listen patiently to a Vet. I know she is missed by the nursing home patients as well as all whoever met her. {This Info. from Harold Macking, a former patient}
