What Men Don't Talk About with Bob Howell, June 16 at 10 a.m. Although men talk easily about cardiovascular risk and general health as they age, they do not often discuss the perceived stigma that comes with aging and the problems associated with being on one's own after their partner passes on. Aging does not have to mean loss of function or vitality. Revitalize your life, come to Bob's monthly men's conversation group and share your collective wisdom. It's also spring break, bring your grandson and share living history stories across generations. Call 563-1363 to let Bob know you will be joining his new men's conversation group.
