intense when you're all alone
and you think about them.
They become unbearable,
whereas if you are in a group
of people, everyone's talking
and you are not even aware
you're hurting. If you have a
meeting to go to and you
wake up with something ach-
ing, you just go anyway. You
have an obligation. You don't
sit home and nurse it.

Mickel is also involved in
the Jewish Book Fair at the
Jewish Community Center;
she is the representative on
the Jewish Community

group and on the board of the
United Hebrew Schools as a
representative of the
Women's Auxiliary. She is
active in the Michigan Senior
Advocate Council and the
State Advisory Council to the
Michigan Council on Aging.
In September she accom-
panied a group of residents
from Borman Hall to the
Butzel Conference Center in
Ortonville, where they get a
chance to be away from their
regular daily life in a vaca-

What does being busy like
this mean to Anna Mickel? "I
live alone. I've been widowed
30 years. I've raised my chil-
dren. Now it's my turn to do
what I want to do, and I'm
doing it. I love everything I
do. There'll come a time
when I'll have to sit home
and I will always say to my-
self, 'When I could do it, I did
it,' not 'I should have.' That
is my philosophy.
"I just hate to see those
people who wait for the corn-
munity to act upon them,
who've told me 'I am now a
certain age, and therefore the
community owes me.' That's
all wrong. It's too bad, but
there are many like that.
They sit like bumps on a log.
Of course, I'm lucky. I have
my health, pretty much, and
I drive.
"If you're busy," she goes
on to say, "you don't have
time to worry over pains. You
know how pains become more

think I'd still find something
to do, like making calls for
Service With Love. We have
no control over the changes
in our bodies and minds. But
we should never stop learn-
ing. That's why I have al-
ways taken courses ... in
gerontology, Hebrew, Yiddish
and so on. I want to take a
computer class sometime."
Refusenik Gets
Permission
To Emigrate
New York (JTA) — Soviet
refusenik and cancer patient
Rimma Bravve received writ-
ten permission last week to
leave the Soviet Union with
her husband, Vladimir, ac-
cording to her sister, Larisa
Shapiro of Rochester, N.Y.
The Bravves were told to pick
up their visas at the OVIR
emigration offices. The
Moscow couple have been
refuseniks since 1979. Rimma
suffers from ovarian cancer.
Shapiro said that the
Soviets are not only finally
giving the Bravves the visas
they promised them almost
four weeks ago at the Vienna
meeting of the Helsinki Ac-
cords follow-up talks, but are
now "eager to get them out as
soon as possible." Shapiro
said the Soviets are waiving
half the paperwork usually re-
quired to leave the country.
