First day of 18th Grade! As my retirement/rewirement project continues, I’m headed back to school. Though I have my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I’ve always wanted to learn for the love of it. So I’m auditing a class at UW-Milwaukee this semester. Did you know Wisconsin residents 60 and older can audit certain classes at UW system schools at no charge? It’s pretty cool. And I love the campus vibe.

There was an incredible moment before Saturday's Rangers-Islanders game when a 104-year-old World War II veteran played the national anthem on his saxophone.

When he was done, the arena erupted into "USA" chants.

It's guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

Northeast Iowa School of Music is now offering piano lessons to senior centers via Zoom. Thanks to the generosity of one of our donors, we were able to purchase 3 keyboards. Here are residents of Sunset Park Place enjoying their lessons with teacher Pam Crawford. Thank you to SPP Life Enrichment Coordinator, Shelly, for making it possible on their end. Any Dubuque senior living centers interested in classes, let me know!
