::. I. am an older, (past 50)
:female who has recently
:been laid off from the job I
hought I would retire from
:bne day. Silly me, I feel like
:! never planned or even
:thought I would have to look
work again.
• : I have found another job,
although it does not
)ay as well and I will be re-
quired to be on my feet all
day or night, I do thank God
that I have an option.
I write to you though, for
another purpose. During the
time after my layoff, I was
approached about an oppor-
tunity to return to school
and to learn a new trade. I
seem to find myself leaning
towards the new job more
than going back to school,
because deep down I fear I
am too old to learn a new
trade. I have never been
praised for my intellect, but
I am disciplined and a pro-
ductive worker.
I am very curious to know
what you think of my situ-
ation and any advice you
can give me. Thank you so
much.
Sincerely,
Never too old to learn?
Dear Never,
I sense from your name
you may hold out a glimmer
of hope to go in a different
direction during this phase
of your life, and I, I honestly
think you should go for it, if
it's in your heart.
I once attended classes
with many ladies quite a bit
older than I at the time and
they ran circles around me
as a student. Their focus,
discipline and work ethic
were a great blueprint for
me as a student.
I found the relationships
between the younger and
older students to be quite
symbiotic as well. We leaned
on them for their life expe-
rience and values and they
leaned on us for our youth
and vigor, although some of
them were hard to keep up
with too.
I don't think you are ever
too old to do what is in your
heart. If you can pay the
bills and go back to school,
then by all means, do so.
We're given second and
third chances in this world
so we can take them. Don't
waste yours now that it has
appeared if that's really
what is in your heart. Good
luck and God bless.

Tenor Bob Hixson, who is
the son of Stonley House
resident Marion Hixson, and
the son-in-law of resident
Pat Heacock, accompanied
the other members of the
group, lead Keith Tallent,
bass Harvey Fleming, and
baritone David Holcomb in
"Let" Me Call You Sweet:
heart," as well as several
other traditional favorites.
Almost every resident was
on hand to hear the love
songs and enjoy ice cream
sundaes, heart-shaped box-
es of chocolates, and beauti-
ful Valentine's cards hand-
crafted by the residents in
their arts and crafts class-
es.
"We would also like to
thank two local church
groups who brought Valen-
tine's goodies to our resi-
dents," said Stanley House
Community Relations Di-
rector Alex Alexander, "The
Euchee Valley Presbyte-
rian Church Youth Group
baked cookies and brownies
for us, and New Harmony
Baptist Church delivered
roses, small gifts and baked
goods. The love, prayers,
and special attention the
community shares with our
residents is phenomenal,
and we appreciate it very
much!"
