By the time I retired from directing the Scripps Gerontology Center in 1998, I had surveyed and interviewed about five thousand people concerning their experiences of retirement. I had written two books and more than forty journal articles on [...]

While every one of us will experience the mystery we call death, until recently I could empty rooms simply by mentioning the subject of aging. Fortunately, this is beginning to change as more of us can no longer can ignore the signs. The first time a younger person offers you [...]

2017-01-26T19:33:51+00:00

What a curious title: What Aging Men Want. Don't they just want to retire, play golf, fish, travel, volunteer, watch sports and see the grandkids? What more could they want?

In her December 2016 Legacy Tips & Tools, Rachael Freed wrote about the importance of being in community in today’s world.  We truly need our friends, our communities, to help us make sense of a world that seems to be in crisis.  I think she was right on target, and it [...]
