Gloria used to develop education programs for seniors, but these days the retired mother of two draws, makes jewelry and stays active with her two grandchildren, speaking at their
school during Black History Month. “I never thought I’d get here – to the senior years – but here I am. It’s really no different; in your head you are whatever age you think you are. I am rediscovering things that I enjoyed as a girl. My grandchildren call me Oma, but they see me in-line skating, skiing and dancing. They don’t see me as an old person.”
