Centennial Video

We’re excited to announce that the Franke Tobey Jones Centennial Video is now available for everyone to see on the FJT website and on YouTube. You can find it here!

This 43-minute video is a historical look at Franke Tobey Jones in which much of the text for the script was taken directly from board meeting minutes, building dedication speeches, news articles and many other historical documents from 1921 to present time.  

It debuted at the FTJ Legacy Circle Luncheon on June 12th,  last Wednesday, then shown on June 14th to the residents who participated in the video before it was released publicly on June 17th.  During the next few weeks we will be showing the video in many of the buildings on campus.  We’d like to thank the eleven residents and two team members who voiced the various parts: 

• Mrs. Virginia Mason – Visionary and Leader: Voiced by resident Nancy Cook
