Smiley represented the fifty year olds, the Haleys the seventy year olds, and I the ninety year olds. (a stretch as I am only 87) Above is a picture of Smiley at the podium and the Haleys on deck.
Rebecca and Ben Haley. I received the distinct impression that they are enjoying old age. They mentioned dancing to the Glenn Miller Orchestra next weekend. I recall dancing at the Palladium in Hollywood to Glenn Miller before WW II.
Sure was a good looking class. It was a pleasant experience meeting them. I enjoyed the talks by Smiley and the Haleys.
Professor Rhonda Boyd.
I had my best clothes on and had trimmed my beard. I hope the class got something out of my remarks. I wanted to say that you can fight the sadness, loneliness, and depression that can come with old age by building new skills and interests. I became a sports fan, a bluegrass fan, an amateur genealogist, and a blogger.
I have to make myself exercise. I was born lazy. Exercise is probably one of the most important things I can do for my health. The water class at Tech is a vital and important part of my life. The $54 per quarter, $216 per year, and $1296 for the last six years is some of the best money that I have spent in my life. THANK YOU, SMILEY/RHONDA/TECH !
The class brought back memories of my days at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California
Your so cool!
