Genuine affection found by Elizabeth Broomfield, June is Seniors' .Month. ,My first' thought was to profile seniors in our community who have made a difference; but as I began to put pen to paper, I. realized I was in over my head. Not a day goes' by without meeting a senior who has a special gift to share. How could I possibly pick just one or two in- dividuals. During one recent visit to.. a seniors' group, I met a woman who is over 100. This centenarian al- ways has a smile; a joke and a kind word for everyone she meets. I've ' never met anyone who has so many friends! At least two for every one of her years. I.'ve met dozens of movers and shakers in every community that I've visited, folks who, though often not feeling well themselves, encourage 'others to become more. active rather than give up and grow old faster. Almost every senior I meet • teaches me a little about coping with change. I'm always astonished at how resilient most seniors are to changes in their own lives. As one woman told me, "It's . because we've seen it all. From the Model - T Ford to the space shuttle. From the potato chip to the computer chip." 'The amount of genuine affection and care in the senior community is remarkable. I've witnessed countless incidents of seniors joining together to support eacltrl other in times of crisis. When families are not around, they reach out to each other. Their concern is Rennie Graham of Toronto and John and Jean Lowndes of Queensville attended the evening Anniversary Service at South Kin- loss. Rev. Dr. Alex and Ruth Mac- Donald spent' the weekend at the home of Ira and Elizabeth Dickie. On, Sunday they had lunch with the Maclntyre family and relatives at the home of Marilyn Maclntyre. The. Bell Ringers of New Ham- burg were invited to the home of Del and Margaret Burkhart after the morning service. Ruth Langen returned Sunday from Montreal, where she attended the Centennial Celebrations of the Royal Victoria Hospital. She en- joyed meeting classmates from her Graduating class and also the trip by train. in seniors ,not reserved for their peers alone. This' past winter, there have been numerous kind, caring seniors who have said to me, "Don't come to our meeting if the weather is bad. We want to know you are safe." I never cease to be amazed by the human capability to smile. Even seniors struggling with health problems too numerous to mention remember the power of a smile. So toall the seniors I have met this past year, for all the lessons in positive thinking, humor, loyalty, courage and support you have -taught me, I applaud you. For the. folks' I haven't had the opportunity to meet yet, I hope our paths cross in months ahead. Feel free to call your local Health Unit office to find out about our dif- ferent programs for seniors. 1 FORTHCOMING MARRIAGE.
