Seniors: Do you have a story to tell? – Greene County Daily World (blog)

Senior Connections is a monthly section of the Greene County Daily World which runs on the fourth Friday of each month, meant to feature elderly members and related events of the entire community. This month, it will run on Friday, April 28.

Ive decided to try something a little different with my contribution this time around.

In addition to writing for the world, I also photograph weddings, portraits and commercial images, as I studied photography at Indiana University in Bloomington.

So, Im intersted in finding out more about the roots of my new community, (Im a transplant Pennyslvania native--I moved here just two years ago!), and I am reaching out to you, the readers--to tell me yours.

Do you have an old photo of a well-known landmark or business in Greene County you would like to share? If you have a some-what lengthy story to accompany it, I will be happy to help you tell it!

Maybe it was at the now ghostly Linton drive-in or the old ice cream shop on Main Street; perhaps you have an old prom photo of you and your friends from the past or maybe you arent quite old enough, but know of someone else who has an interesting tale to tell.

If you are open to sharing your memory, please send me an email via kslavengcdw@outlook.com or call the office and ask for Kelly.

If you are a regular reader, you probably also know I love animals. Maybe you have had a dog or cat for a long time--Im interested in how having a pet at an old age or living alone might enrich ones life? I know how enriching my own has been residing with an exotic bird and yorkshire terrier, and Im 23.

I want to help you tell your story--the only stipulation being that it come from a senior, of course.

Some of my favorite memories when living with my grandmother are simply sitting in her sunroom and reminiscing over a few cups of coffee--its never too late to share.

One of my favorite authors and role models J.K. Rowling once said, Youth can not know how age thinks and feels, but old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
