4 Participant SPOTLIGHT Meet the TRANSYLVANIA Team Executive Director Alyson Johnson-Sawyer, BA Operations Manager Angie Williams, BA Administrative Manager Ruth Butler Hazel Adams There s adventure in Hazel s background that may have started when her grandparents immigrated from Sweden to America in the late 1800s. Hazel was raised in Massachusetts and as a young woman moved to New York to attend fashion design school. In the 1930s her bold spirit and confidence led her to open her own dressmaking business in New York. Hazel and her husband Richard (now deceased) raised three children - Janice, who lives in NC and Andy and Cori - both on the West Coast. Daughter Janice said Hazel knows about every road from the east coast to California. Hazel and Richard would drive across the country every year to visit friends and family...camping all the way.
