Meet Vanita Oelschlager
Vanita Oelschlager is a wife, mother, grandmother, former teacher, current caregiver and, for almost 10 years, author and poet.
She was born and raised near Pittsburgh. She is a graduate of Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio, where she currently serves as a Trustee.
She has also supported and helped Jim as he built Oak Associates, ltd. into an internationally recognized investment management firm.
Today, as an accomplished author, Vanita shares openly the experiences that she, Jim and their families have had with multiple sclerosis.
She has likened MS to living with an elephant — one that won’t go away or be ignored. Together, she and Jim have found ways to live with this “elephant,” and to share some of the larger lessons about life they’ve learned through the disease.

Book Exploration
By Chuck Bowen
In his first novel The Kite Runner, and now A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini writes about the Afghans caught in the middle of a seemingly endless string of wars and battles for power. Both novels paint a grim and moving picture of life in a war-torn country, and of lives lived in the face of hunger, death and a bleak future. Hosseini makes you realize that, even while bombs rain down and people are dying of hunger, people still fall in love, seek friends and, mostly, try to remain human.
