On the recordMarch 1, 2000
It is a beautiful thing that people are finally recognized. At least in America, seniors are recognized for the value that they bring to our communities. One of the most important things I want to strongly note is that the seniors are the most important life link not only to the past but to the future. We can learn so much. Many people in my generation and below my generation, particularly all these new Internet people and Internet-challenged children, if you will, they are looking to the 21st century as the new unique and opportunistic place in time; and they are forgetting the wonderful gains made by those who are now over 65 and those who have brought so much insight and wisdom to our communities.
