K. Jennings-Hancock - Response to D. Grant DeMan

A Response to D. Gramt DeMan's "Coming Alive at 65"

....By Kathryn Jennings-Hancock

Dear Bill,

I have a habit (more accurately, I have a foible!) of tacking anything I've read which particularly inspires me, to the front of my refrigerator door with magnets, preferably after I've appropriately enlarged it on the copier. This way I can re-peruse it each morning over Raisin Bran, which is not an entirely bad way to collect your thoughts for the day.

Having just read and re-read Donald Grant DeMan's Coming Alive at Sixty Five, I have a huge problem to solve before breakfast tomorrow. How in the world am I going to find that much open space on the fridge's doors? Because the whole thing is inspiring. His "Five F's" I find as important as the Three R's, his thoughts on getting off one's 'but's' and just doing what's there to be done are just what I needed to hear. He poses the question I so needed to hear, and I suspect I'm not alone in that: What in the world are you waiting for? And finally, he attempts to express what your entire Inditer family feels, when praising your dedication to us all, Bill, and to this forum which has, as Don so succinctly puts it, made us family. We all know there aren't enough words in the world to adequately express that, but the ones he's chosen do make such an admirable dent in the task. Thanks for Coming Alive at 65 -- certainly the wake - up I needed. And now I must go, and rearrange those refrigerator doors....

All the best,

Kathryn Jennings Hancock
