One afternoon, music therapist Christina Britton Conroy was taking nursing home residents to activities. She was thrilled when a sweet, disoriented lady joined her group. Mary, it's so good to see you. Do you want to go to the Bible study or BINGO? she asked.
Mary replied, I want to go to Lithuania.
