The focus seems to be on those who can get to meetings, which hardly is the whole story of life here. And on those who just make their living in the 'seniors industry', perhaps with different agendas from those born by the war's end, vs the upcoming brief demographic band of the veterans' offspring until the introduction of the Pill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-63726080121392063052010-07-20T09:46:12.365-04:002010-07-20T09:46:12.365-04:00This week I'm giving two poetry workshops at t...This week I'm giving two poetry workshops at the Dearness Home Summer Arts Camp.

Society changes and we acknowledge in greater scheme how these changes are true to nature of freedom. Residents are free to express love or grievance against rulers as has been the case for centuries. However opinions differ amongst residents we strive to build Strong Robust Communities in London. We all win. Sacrifices of few contribute to London's remarkable transformation from rural outpost to industrial hub to manufacturing center to future prosperity and individual rights for which many assure me are necessary for attracting bright vibrant minds.Graeme Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449977608628660489noreply@blogger.com
