I am almost overwhelmed (but mostly just incredibly excited) to put all of these wonderful folks' experiences and wisdom and expertise together with our observations to open the door to the rest of the world. Thank you, Karen, for your dedication and love. Funny I was thinking the exact same thing about Karen after listening to her perspective for the generous time she gave me last week.

It's odd, but with one week left I find myself looking forward to the end, and also lamenting leaving. With the richness of the data we've collected this will be a foundaitonal piece of research for working with seniors, but it also has impacted me personally quite a bit. I can tell you now... I will be back to visit. Karen-

Thank you so much for your thoughts. It’s odd, but with one week left I find myself looking forward to the end, and also lamenting leaving. With the richness of the data we’ve collected this will be a foundaitonal piece of research for working with seniors, but it also has impacted me personally quite a bit.

I can tell you now… I will be back to visit.

I sat down this evening to pay household bills and I thought I'll take a quick look at your website first. (Something I've been wanting to do but had not slowed my fast forward life enough to do.) I read ALL your blogs! The blogs are like reading a good book that you can't put down. I'm amazed at the depth of your observations, sensitivities, and ability to capture the individual's unique personalities and stories. My unpaid household bills will still be there for me tomorrow... but tonight I was able to enjoy experiencing GSV life from your project looking glass perspective.
