MSNBC INTERACTIVE SLIDE SHOW: "Aging in America"
[September 2003 - MSNBC] Eight years ago, photographer Ed Kashi and reporter Julie Winokur started documenting the changing face of growing older in America. Two years ago, MSNBC.com brought you �Years ahead: Aging in America,� with photography and audio reporting about youthful seniors and innovative elder care. In 2003, MSNBC.com publishes an updated report on how seniors are staying engaged in their later years, and the love and loss that accompanies growing old together.
ageing as exile?
This blog explores the intersection of aging, creativity, purpose, transition, learning and well-being. It is edited by Steve Dahlberg.
