New in 2023: a retrospective of the work of artist Nancy Packard Leasman. This project has been made possible, in part, by a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council with funds from the McKnight Foundation.
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.

Old hand pumps are still to be found at several of the town hall sites. Reminiscent of the low technology of the past, they remain as a reminder of able functioning of seemingly simpler times. |
