Aging









A senior center lunch hour is like walking into the diner of a lost generation. Here sit old movie stars, ex-opera singers, former businessmen and their wives, painted and dressed by the Goodwill boutiques just for lunch “out”. This is a “Hall of Elders”; the clientele are the ones we get up for on the bus, stand behind in line at the pharmacy and read ever exponential life statistics in the newspaper.
