Mary,
I would recommend the type of approach advocated here:
http://pragdave.pragprog.com/pragdave/2006/01/sharing_externa.html
Basically you would create one AR model that establishes a connection to
your legacy DB and one that connects to the other one, both of which are
abstract and then you just subclass models from the appropriate DB -
specific base class.
Other options may be found here:

Good luck!
