Gold Mine.

So it’s not often that you are able to get just about everything you need in one place, but today I just may have.

I followed up my phone call with Summerville at Oak Park in Clermont.  It’s an assisted living community with dozens of residents.

In speaking with a program director there, they have a program there called “Bridging the Generations” where local teens and community members volunteer their time to the residents. Great part about it is that the residents are full of rich stories about the past, most of which missed their senior prom because of the Great Depression.

It is exactly what I am looking for!

I think in order to understand where we are now with technology, you have to understand your roots and what came before you.

This will truly serve that purpose in my story telling especially when I get a dialogue between the new and older generations. Who knows, there might be more in common with between the generations that we think.

I’m all set to meet with them the second day I’m on the ground there and I can’t wait to meet everyone!

The difference between generations:

But when you think about it, you are still doing the same thing!

The only change is how, when and how often.

Think about it.
