Senior Perspective columns 2022-2023

    After writing stories for Senior Perspective for nearly 20 years, the decision was made to relinquish story generation to others and focus on a column. Starting in February, 2022, this column features year-round workout experiences and ideas to encourage older residents to get outside.
