Meningitis Miracle

“How close I came to dying didn’t register until I later told anyone who would listen that I’d watched from a corner of the ceiling in my hospital room as Father Vaughan began praying over what looked like me sleeping on the bed.

As fascinating as it was to ‘see’ my body below as the young priest from St. Ambrose in nearby Latham anointed it with oil, I was far more captivated by a glow that began to draw me into a radiant realm. I “felt” that I was on my way to meet Jesus and was overjoyed as I made my way into the light.

It is the closest thing to bliss I have ever experienced and I was sad when it was communicated to me (without any words) that it was not yet my time to enter the place I so yearned to be.”

James Vaughan half a century earlier when she was a critically ill child fighting for her life.

The literary tapestry Ann has woven over the past five decades includes threads spun from exclusive interviews with such celebrated personalities as Andy Rooney, David Hyde Pierce and Marylou Whitney. In addition, Ann -- who founded Saratoga Living magazine in 1998 and served as its editor and publisher until 2004 -- has drawn readers into the lives of legions of lesser known, but nonetheless fascinating, individuals. “I learned early on in my first job as a general assignment reporter at The Canadian Champion in the 1970s that every person has a story if you just take the time to listen,” says Ann. “I was intrigued to discover that seemingly ordinary people were often doing rather extraordinary things with their lives.”
