Resident Pete Benda created this acrylic painting of North Carolina musician Nina Simone in honor of Black History Month (celebrated annually in February in the US). Nina was a small-town prodigy on the piano who blossomed into a worldwide icon with her blend of jazz, blues, and activism.

Pete and his wife Judy were introduced to Simone’s work at an early age when she performed at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie. Much later, he was part of her large outdoor audience in Sao Paulo while on business in Brazil.

Pete says, “From my roots in an all-white suburb of Chicago, I have grown to know and appreciate the wide range of African-American contributions to our country and our way of life—not just in music, acting, and sports but also science, business, religion, and civil rights.”

In addition to 44 years with IBM in the roles of engineering, sales, and marketing management, Pete served as an Adjunct Professor at Fisk University (an HBCU) in Nashville more than 50 years ago.

Thank you, Pete, for sharing your talents and for drawing our attention to this extremely talented artist! If you’re not familiar with Nina Simone, do an internet search for her cover of the song “Feeling Good.”

Springmoor held our first-ever jigsaw puzzle contest in Jan. Can you complete a 300-piece jigsaw in 42 minutes? That’s the new standard this year’s winning puzzle team established.

Two teams of three faced off in the North Village Great Room, where Aurora Gregory called the contest to order. The teams assembled identical puzzles using their “secret weapon.” Team 1 brought a spatula to transport partially assembled sections inside the puzzle’s frame. Team 2 had plastic trays for sorting pieces by predominant colors. Though both teams assembled with speed and urgency, Team 1 walked away with puzzle-master bragging rights for 2026!

Noting the huge number of residents who enjoy assembling puzzles, the Pathways Wellness Team created this contest as a fun way to bring people together and promote puzzles, which have been shown to have positive mental and physical effects for older adults.

Aurora is hoping to recruit a Springmoor team for the “Speed Puzzling” competition that's part of this year’s Wake County Senior Games. If you’re interested, contact Aurora at 7561.

Springmoor’s 30th Annual Party Bridge Tournament is a shining example of a resident-coordinated community activity. In February, our bridge enthusiasts wrapped up the third and final round of the tournament with a close finish. The team of Lainie Adams and Fritz Kindsvatter, both newcomers to Springmoor, racked up 8,230 points. Second place went to Nella and Brent Smith, with a total of 8,140 points.

Several years ago, resident Malcolm Williams—also an avid bridge player, very often a winner, and this year in third place—made a generous donation to sponsor the tournament for a decade.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Wishing success, safety, and comfort throughout your life’s journey to all members of the Springmoor community:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

This traditional Gaelic blessing (Go n-éirí an bóthar leat) is often associated with St. Patrick.
