Steve’s Number One!

Family

We had a delightful and unexpected surprise today. When we went to the gym, the receptionist asked Steve if he had his Silver Sneakers card with him. They had just learned this morning that they could begin accepting Silver Sneakers effective immediately. And Steve got to be the first! This is a bit of a triumph for the Jackson County Recreation Center and for us. Working with Rusty Ellis, the director, we helped create the ground swell of interest and series of telephone calls that convinced Healthways to consider the two applications that JCRC had submitted and to approve it as a Silver Sneakers location. For those of you not in the know Silver Sneakers is a program offered through some Medicare supplement programs and serves as a gym membership at approved locations. It’s one of the perks of being an “old fart”. To all of our friends who made phone calls, thank you so very much, your effort paid off!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
