Sept. 2013

We continue to grow and develop socially, emotionally and intellectually throughout our lifetime. A study conducted by Dr. Helen Kerschner, executive director of the Center on Aging at the University of New Mexico, helped identify key drivers for successful aging. Upon conclusion of the study, three broad groups of key drivers had been identified. Involvement. Positive mental attitude. Relationships.

Involvement. Whether it’s participating in physical or mental activities, if it’s an activity you enjoy, you are likely to stay involved.

Neighbors Help Each Other in Successful Aging

Exercise, playing bridge, or working puzzles – stay actively involved.

Positive mental attitude. Focus on laughter. By being hopeful and looking toward the future helps you to maintain a positive mental attitude.

Relationships. Make friends and stay in contact with them. Mutually beneficial relationships with family, friends and people in your community have shown a strong link to aging successfully. Having the ability to converse with them on current events and social

activities has been proven to contribute to an overall social wellbeing.

Focusing on these three key factors found in successful aging could add years to your life and certainly will add life to your years. So, build relationships with your neighbors that are beneficial for you both and have meaningful conversation full of laughter over a game of dominos, cards or while exercising your mind or body. Together, you and your neighbors will be aging successfully.

Evelyn is now enjoying her new home at St. Elizabeth. She especially loves the wonderful friends she has made and all the fun activities.

A Very Unusual Case in the FBI FILES

A week or so ago Leon Dobbs and I were expressing positives comments about the US Senate’s confirmation, 93-1, of James B. Comey as the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although neither of us is personally acquainted with Comey, we do know about his significant work earlier in the Justice Department. Our conversation somehow led to questions about Leon’s experiences as an FBI agent. Most cases were “off limits,” but he did let me read one from his 1959 files that would probably bring a chuckle from everyone.

The story began on an April Friday shortly after 9:00 a.m. in the Norfolk downtown branch office of the Bank of Virginia. Daniel Dough, 19, entered and cashed his weekly paycheck with Teller Eileen Thomas. About 20 minutes later James Anderson, 20, whom she thought to be Dough, appeared with a note demanding money without saying a word. She tore up the note and warned him that he would get into trouble if he did

that again. He stepped away but hung around the bank for several minutes before leaving.

When Mrs. Thomas took her break at 10:00 o’clock, she shared her story with another teller who insisted that she tell the manager. It was he who contacted the FBI. Later that morning Dough was arrested, and both tellers identified him as the man in the bank. It is of interest to note that Dough was a Virginian, a customer of the bank, and Anderson was a native of Niagara Falls, N.Y. They could easily have passed as identical twins.

Report of the arrest of Dough in the weekend news media prompted Anderson to go to the FBI office Monday morning saying that his conscience forced him to give himself up, alleging that it was he who attempted the robbery. His recent medical discharge from the Navy had left him with depression, such that he wanted to die, and thought a bank guard would shoot and kill him when he tried to rob the bank.

That afternoon the tellers

a note from Charles Tolbert

went to the FBI office to view a lineup, including both Dough and Anderson. Mrs. Thomas was certain it was Dough who handed her the note, even though evidence was piling up to the contrary, following extensive talks with Anderson and analysis of the hand written note. Only after FBI agents took both men into the bank—each dressed in the same clothes he had worn on the day of the attempted robbery—was Mrs. Thomas able to identify the culprit: James Anderson.

Any One for Bridge?

If you have been a bridge player and would like to get involved again, drop by Christy’s office and chat with her.

It takes only four players to make a table. And don’t forget, card playing is one of those Activities that exercises the mind!
