Scott Miller is my hero. Truly. If anyone can contribute to the way we look at aging and add a unique slant to stereotypical perceptions, it is Scott. He is Director of Marketing at Garden Spot Village and has become a valuable contributor to our interpretation of the findings throughout our research here. Read my 8-3 blog posting and read Scott’s response. I think it is dead on…

“I found your Mermaid blog interesting. The way you described it sounded like any other learning/performing process regardless of age. The aquatic director could have been talking to 18, 25, 35 or 50 year olds. What makes the learning process/performance different because they are over 90? Or is it simply surprising that it doesn’t really matter if we are 18 or 90? I makes me think of competitive ice skating. It is not uncommon to hear the TV commentators point out how an Olympic skater missed or forgot a move or how they improperly completed a jump or spin.”
