Ed Jenkins -- A member of CWW, Ed is a senior research astronomer at the Princeton University Observatory, interested in interstellar medium, atomic depletions, and for one of our younger members, a lot of things that are very, very old. Ed is an outstanding and enthusiastic speaker who never speaks over our heads (except it is astronomy).
OUTSTANDING ASTRONOMY LINKS!

Jane Brody spread less than accurate information about living wills, designation of health care representatives, advance directives, DNR orders and other things we try to avoid discussing. Even though Senator Frist may not be around, there are some things we really ought to discuss. Bill Besser, Allen Porter and Henry Powsner will share in a panel.
EXCERPTS, NOTES AND FORMS AVAILABLE

Nutrition Program will address changing nutritional needs of older people and how best to address them.
          "As we age our bodies process nutrients differently. Even with a balanced diet, older people are prone to deficiencies which can have serious effects. Sabina Beesley, a nutritionist from The University Medical Center at Princeton will talk about nutrition and aging."

Jill Jaclin with the Jewish Family and Children's Service will bring us up to date on our development of a VIRTUAL RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. A number of us have signed up. What is anticipated? Will there be a sufficient number so that this will be available when the time comes, in the future, when we unexpectedly need what it can offer.
 

We did not inherit the environment from our parents, we have borrowed it from our children. By May 20th we will have tried to learn what many things CWW members and their families are doing to do less harm to our planet . . . some of these are interesting; some may save money; some may not work, but we do them anyway! We hope to have local examples as well as explanations of hybrid cars, geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, power-saving light bulbs, recycling, etc.
INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENT LINKS!

He is a cancer surgeon and cancer patient who has long been interested in complementary and alternative health care and “a panoramic view of cancer treatment.” Formerly director of the division of general surgery at Hunterdon Medical Center, his is a perspective on complementary medicine that you won't often hear from oncological surgeons with his credentials..

Margaret Lancefield, M.D., Ph.D.

Favorite physician of many members of CWW until she recently gave up her private practice to become a full-time hospitalist, Dr. Lancefield was especially appreciated by her patients for an ability to listen to her patients, and to hear what they had to say. We have asked Dr. Lancefield to help us understand how we might better communicate with physicians, so that they might be better able to care for us.
 

Sam Glucksberg, Ph.D.
Aging and Cognition

A cognitive psychologist with a long and distinguished career at Princeton. Sam will be our speaker on Feb 17. His topic will be what we know about the effects of aging on cognition. Sam will also give us some exercises of the kind that help to postpone some of the effects of aging.
 

Mimi Schwartz
Good Neighbors, Bad Times
Echoes of My Father’s German Village

Mimi Schwartz will read from her new book. Those of us who heard Mimi at Barnes and Noble are eager to come back. A beautiful and moving story. Mimi quotes her father, “before Hitler, everyone got along”. . . It was after she heard a remarkable story of the Torah from that very village being rescued by Christians on Kristallnacht that Mimi gradually became compelled to pursue the clues and names left by her father, to travel to that village, to meet, be welcomed by and interview the Christian families who remained, and travel elsewhere to meet Jews who had fled.
