In this volume-the third in a series-the new residents of the Saratoga Retirement Community in Saratoga, California have recorded memorable aspects of their individual and widely differing lives. Here the reader will encounter: Single-parent adoption in middle age, an amateur acting career, a small town Kansas beginning, family summers while growing up, the problems of a British immigrant and a family from Italy, a Turkish dam specialist and his wife and sons, training for a career in nursing in Canada, the Hayes family in San Francisco, physical therapy abroad, recording the weather for the Air Force, traveling by RV and by individual canoe, a Mayo Clinic wife, prospecting for retirement homes (and publishing the information collected), coping with illness and childhood disaster, friends of Edward R. Murrow, the distance from the Bronx to SRC, and a wanderer's hitchhike around the globe.Two poems add an intimate touch of family life.
