To the Editor:Bee, Nunnawauk Meadows was referred to as an "institutionalized" place. I object to the usage of this description when mentioning my apartment complex. While the dictionary describes that word as "regulated, traditional, standardized, foundation, organization, asylum," we are well known as "independent living for seniors," and I would like Nunnawauk Meadows to be described as such in the future, if possible.

In last week's

This might be a minor thing to some, but it was important to me. I do not consider myself as living in an institution!

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Shirley Kopnicky
