“Nurture Humanity”

Reach out your hand,

love, meet hope.

Peace and respect.

Still, man is dying

of neglect.

John W. Sweazey retired Emeritus from the University of Washington at fifty, having mentored a number of students who continued to visit him for many years so they, and he, could nurture humanity together!

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).

SHARING STORIES is featured on http://www.northwestprimetime.com, the website

for Northwest Prime Time, a monthly publication for baby boomers, seniors, retirees, and those contemplating retirement.
