Tour through travel videos
AILSA CRAIG - The Keenagers
at the Craigwiel Day Centre for
Seniors thought it about time to
bring you an update on some of the
fun and good times we've been
having. Special guests, day trips,
crafts, pew games, student volun-
teers and more have kept us fasci-
nated.
One recent guest, Ruth Smith's
friend, Libby Winzer from Holly-
wood, California , who visited last
fall, endeared herself to the Keen-
agers all the more by sending a
wonderful supply of travel videos
from her own collection. Since this
generous lady also deals with the
fan mail for Leonard Nimoy (of
Mr. Spock fame) he also donated a
few videos of his films. The seniors
were glad to hear that the earth-
quake did not more than give her
Hollywood Hills home a good
shake, although houses quite near
to hers suffered damage.
The seniors video travels last
year took them right across Canada
from B.C. to Newfoundland. Be-
cause of Libby's gift, they are now
enjoying the National Parks of the
U.S. and European Travel with an
emphasis on Switzerland and Aus-
enthusiasm for, well everything
that promised a bit of excitement.
She truly enriched our lives, and
tria.
This school year, the Keenagers
have been delighted to have two
UWO students' energy and good
company. Maxine comes Tuesdays
with her enthusiasm, warmth and
wit. She's great with crafts and has
a way of getting us all involved.
Maybe part of the reason is that she
remembers all by name after only
one introduction!
Mark lends a hand on Fridays.
He's a great help with soup and
sandwich days,,i6 a good and inter-
ested listener and wonderful with
games.
The Keenagers were saddened at
the passing of Florence Noxell on
January 15. She would have been
96 on Valentines Day. They will
miss this grand lady who was
present from the opening of the
Day Centre. She challenged every-
one to forget their troubles and en-
joy each moment as it comes.
They'll never forget her spunky re-
torts, her good humour, her tender-
ness with our little visits, her keen
