As reported in Madison Magazine by Joel Patenaude
Madison Magazine is hardly the only 40-year-old business in Madison. Many area businesses have lasted just as long, if not longer. Although they represent different industries, legacy companies are not unlike this publication in that their dramatic evolution was driven by personalities whose influence can still be felt.

Many hairstylists would consider it a day of work, but those who spend Thursday mornings at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg think it’s a day of magic.
“I love it,” Cost Cutters volunteer Angela McIntosh said. “It’s definitely the highlight of my week to come in.”
“This is my day off every week,” volunteer Beth Anderson said.
The volunteers wash, blow-dry and curl patients’ hair, all before the clock strikes noon.
“It’s that comb and that hand, that magic hand,” a hospice patient named Mary said.

As reported by Channel 3000.com
Dr. William Rock, teacher, mentor, father and U.S. Navy veteran, passed away on April 25, 2018.
Dr. Rock was an old fashioned doctor, who never stopped making house calls to dying patients and pulling over at car accidents to see if he could help.
As a Chief Resident at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, Dr. Rock met an amazing woman and ob/gyn nurse, Joan Cox. Sparks flew and the fire lasted 63 years and beyond. He often said that he couldn’t do anything without Joan’s support and wisdom. He loved singing and dancing in many of the hundreds of theatrical productions Joan directed over the years, and when he was in the audience, always cheered the loudest.
In 1958, Rock began his career as an internist at the East Madison Clinic. He has been a faculty member at UW Medical School since 1957.

It’s just a four-by-eight foot box of soil near Lawrence Avenue. But for Lincoln Square resident Jim Javenkoski, the raised bed garden is a memorial where he can think about his late mother Mary, who passed away in May following a brief but intense battle with cancer.
“Our garden is a place of comfort for me, at a time when I really need it,” Javenkoski said.
