Zane Gray – Boulder Dam in Large Print

  One of the first books I read was by Zane Grey. It was about a Mountain man and his adventures hunting, trapping, and fighting Indians. His books show a very descriptive frontier life and with boyish enthusiasm. Most of the Zane Grey books I’ve read were about the early frontier or Westerns, but he also wrote books that were more contemporary (for the time). His book Boulder Dam has been re-released in large print. Boulder Dam is about the construction of the Hoover... Read More

First Crush Last Crush?

  Facebook has been a great invention for seniors- a magical way to reconnect with friends and family you thought you’d never hear from again.  A friend of mine has been divorced for several years. He is a great guy and a world of fun, but he hasn’t really been interested in finding a new love. He dates, but he hasn’t tried to find someone really special. Recently, while he was on Facebook an unexpected opportunity presented itself.  A girl from our hometown that... Read More

Seniors Date Night: “The Artist”

For many of us, our first date was to see a movie. Some of us may have called it “the show” or “the pictures”, but the experience was the same- a couple of hours in a dark, air conditioned room with someone we wanted to get to know better, escaping from the reality of daily life. To this day, when someone says “first date” I picture two teenagers blushing when their hands touch in the popcorn bowl. However, many are having new first dates after a divorce or spouse’s... Read More

The Alzheimer’s Association commends the Obama administration for developing the country’s first-ever National Alzheimer’s Plan released today.

Stroke strikes younger, more often in Hispanics

Each year, 795,000 Americans suffer a stroke. Though stroke has dropped from the third to the fourth leading cause of death, it remains the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. Even more alarming is that strokes occur more often and are deadlier for Hispanics – including young and middle-aged adults – than for other races and ethnicities. In fact, the average age for strokes among Hispanics is 67, considerably younger than for white Americans. Not all... Read More

Is your income affected by your ability to hear?

Baby boomers continuing to work longer in life before retiring might notice a decrease in income – and the reason for that decrease could be caused by one of the five senses. Untreated hearing loss can decrease a person’s income by as much as $30,000 a year, according to a survey conducted by the Better Hearing Institute. Hearing is critical to effective communication in the workforce. The ability to hear and listen well enables employees to be more productive and... Read More
