Hi,
This posting was a thought provoking addition to my morning that I really enjoyed. It accords with a social work way of looking at the pople we work with in a fuller way.
As an aside, i'd love to see some info on issues like hearing and sight loss and how this affects folks as they age. Especially as the major age group now is the baby boomers who are hitting the big 65 and more.
