James L. West 25th Anniversary Luncheon featuring Kathryn Childers

The James L. West Center for Dementia Care will kick off its 25^th anniversary at a luncheon on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at the Ridglea Country Club in Fort Worth.
 
Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price will provide opening remarks with Kathryn Childers serving as the keynote speaker.
 
Childers was one of the first five female U.S. Secret Service Special agents hired in 1970 who conducted counterfeit investigations as well as protected presidents, the First Family and foreign dignitaries. Notably, she protected Caroline and John F. Kennedy, Jr. while traveling with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis around the world.
 
She recently lost her husband of 45 years to Alzheimer’s disease and will address the life lessons she’s learned as both a Secret Service Special Agent and a caregiver.
 
“The mission of a Special Agent in the U.S. Secret Service is to protect and serve,” Childers said. “Not unlike the role of a bodyguard, I found my job as my husband’s caregiver a time to use skills honed in the Secret Service to keep him safe, happy and comfortable.”
