ARVADA, Colo. –
“When she was three, she said she wanted to play a violin. I tried to convince her we play keyboard instruments and I failed,” Dr. Cook laughs. Cook says she originally thought she was just going to be volunteering one day week. It quickly became much more than that. “They will probably say that she's nicer than me,” Mr. Randolph chuckles. “Dr. Cook has just such a lovely patient ethics with the students. She's no nonsense, and she's calm and supportive.”
