LEC FOUNDATION Residents at Life Enriching Communities have the gift of wisdom that comes from cumulative life experiences. You also have the opportunity to reflect on what has been most important – most meaningful – about your life. Using this wisdom, I am curious how you would answer this question: What is most important to pass on to your heirs? When this question was asked in a recent survey, 74% of respondents said “Values and Life Lessons.” Cornell University gerontologist, Karl Pillemer, who interviewed more than 1,200 Americans mostly 70 and up for the Legacy Project and his book, 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans, states: “We found that many of the elders see transmitting their values and core principles as their most important legacy.” While there are many ways you can choose to pass on values, the sad reality is that while most people formally plan to pass on their “stuff,” few actually focus on passing on their values. For example, your children are probably most familiar with your values. How familiar with your values are your grandchildren? What is important for them to know about your values? What are your core life beliefs you want to pass on? If your heirs are asked the question, “What was most important to your grandparents?” how do you think they would answer the question? How would you want them to answer the question? Your LEC Foundation has the expertise to help you create a plan for passing on values to those you love most in this world. Please stop in for a conversation to discuss various ways for you to pass on your values. Please reach out to Molly Talbot by calling 719-3540. Happy Spring! (This article was written by Barbara Culver of Connect-Gens. Connect-Gens is dedicated to strengthening families by creating lasting legacies through legacy families.) 3 News for You Birds chirping, trees budding, flowers blooming, days getting longer and warmer, Red’s opening day -- signs of Spring are finally here! Unfortunately, this time of year is also the time when solicitors, scammers and schemers prey on unsuspecting people. Twin Lakes has a notice of no solicitation filed with the City of Montgomery Police Department. If you encounter any solicitors or canvassers at Twin Lakes, please contact the Life Safety Dept. at x1375 or the Montgomery Police Department at 985-1600. If at any time you feel you are being scammed or find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, the top five things to remember are: If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. When it comes to a “now or never” opportunity, choose “never”. Keep account numbers, codes and passwords private. Shred bills, and receipts when discarding them (You may take them to the Welcome Center and use our shredder if you do not have one.) Don’t be afraid to report your experience. If you feel uncomfortable, tell someone. As part of Twin Lakes’ commitment to provide you with “exceptional everyday experiences”, we are going to deliver a ten question assessment to your mail box on April 4th. This assessment should take less than five minutes to complete and your input is very valuable and important. Please take time to fill out and return to the Welcome Center at your convenience. We are continually trying to improve our services at Twin Lakes. Again, thank you for choosing Twin Lakes as your home. Jim Mayer 4 Resident Corner Art & Betty Veser Did you ever go on a blind date? If so, did you find the man or woman of your dreams? Betty and Art Veser did! Once upon a time, two young women and two young men planned to meet for blind dates. The two young men rode together to the date, went to the door, and were admitted by the two women. Immediately, Betty was attracted to Art and hoped that he would be her date. He was! That date led to more dates, and those dates led to a long, happy marriage of sixty-two years. Both Betty and Art were born in Cincinnati, thirty-seven days apart, but they never met until that blind date when they were twenty-two years old. Betty attended Western Hills High School, and Art went to Hughes High School. After they graduated from high school, she worked at the telephone company, while Art spent two years at the University of Cincinnati studying engineering. Betty continued working at the telephone company for thirteen years while Art was employed at GE. In that time period they had two children, a son and a daughter. After the children were born, Betty decided to take time off until the children were old enough to go to school. Then she went back to work at a doctor's office for twenty years while Art worked at GE from 1950 to 1986 as a configuration designer of jet engines. Betty and Art are very close to their children. Their son, Dale, works at Camargo Cadillac on the same street where they live now, and their daughter, Sherry Franks, is a hairstylist in Kenwood. Art and Betty looked at many, many retirement communities before they decided to move to Twin Lakes. In fact, one day they took their car to Camargo Cadillac to have it serviced, and they decided to take a walk around Twin Lakes while they waited. They were impressed and especially liked the lake. They eventually looked at a Lakeside Villa, liked it and the view very much, and decided to move here where they are living happily now. They also have an activity that gives them immense pleasure now and has for all their life together. That is the love of traveling. They started taking trips by spending their honeymoon at Pikes Peak and have since taken many trips all over the world. For instance, among other things, they have bicycled in Holland, they helicoptered over the Grand Canyon, and they have taken at least twenty-five destination cruises all over the world. In addition to traveling, they both have hobbies they enjoy. Art loves to tinker with cars, and he also plays drums. He has played at wedding receptions with the Queen City Concert Band and at retirement homes, so perhaps we should have him perform at Twin Lakes. Betty has been an avid swimmer most of her life and continues to be involved in swimming. They both say very emphatically that they have had a wonderful life, and they are still living a wonderful life!
