They returned to Virginia and bought and built Blackwater Homestead in Rappahannock in the Castleton area.
They started the Rappahannock Speech and Learning Center. Mr. Gottleib works as a speech therapist under contract with Culpeper public schools two days a week and sees some private patients. Mrs. Gottlieb works with adults and children with learning problems.
They are both involved with the Rappahannock County Country Dancers, a group that performs at the Washington Fourth of July and Colonial Christmas celebrations.
Mr. Gottleib was one of the founders of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community and its first president. Now he is ort the board of Ki Theater and helps with fundraising.
However, the volunteer activity which gives him the most satisfaction now is his work with the hospice. He has a patient now in Orange County he is working with as a speech therapist because of an operation for a brain tumor.
Because he practices meditation he worked with one patient who wanted to learn to meditate. “I like the work,” he said. “I look forward to every patient. They are all different.”
The Hospice of the Rapidan is looking for volunteers to take training Oct. 14, 15 and 17 in Culpeper.
Tina Weaver, director of the hospice, says they always need both volunteers and money.
“We have patients we aren’t able to assign a volunteer to,” she said. Call 703-825-4840 to arrange to take the training.
“The training is fantastic,” Mr. Gottleib said. “They train you for life, not just the hospice.”
