On November 10, East Hartford residents Fran Jones and Walter Kelso were guest speakers for Goodwin College’s 老年学问题 and Intro to Counseling classes. 琼斯和凯尔索还记得，当河滨大道校园还只是一片荒芜的棕地时，他们对皇冠app社区的建筑、景观和友好印象深刻。
Jones, 86, and Kelso, 94, are remarkable examples of healthy aging. They met at a bereavement support group facilitated by Goodwin 人类服务 faculty member Karen Carney several years ago after they each had lost their spouse, and they became very good friends.
They shared with the Goodwin students some of the stories of their lives and how they have managed to survive — and thrive — during difficult times.
Jones gets up at 3:15 a.m. at least three days per week to go to the gym for a “spinning” workout. Walter is the “social planner” of the duo and finds fun things to do each day. In the face of struggles and challenges, they told the students, focus on the positive things in life and be thankful for family, friends, and good health. 他们说他们每天晚上都花时间积极思考和感恩。 在这个感恩节的季节里，这是多么伟大的信息啊！
这些课程是皇冠app向社区的朋友和邻居寻求知识和生活经验的另一个很好的例子，我们的学生可以利用这些知识和经验在他们的职业生涯中造福他人。
