An almost daily occurrence for me is seeing Frank Hoffman drive by our home smiling and waving from the drivers seat of his brown station wagon. Mr. Hoffman is around 90 years old but he is still able to safely drive around town.
Another oldtimer who pilots a vehicle down our streets is Gordon Dunn. At 97 Mr. Dunn carries out his errands in his minivan in our small town free from multiple lanes of whizzing traffic.
Mrs. Kydd is in her early 90's. She was my grade 5 teacher and is still in her own home close to Dr. Isman School. Several times on my walks I have stopped and chatted with her as she putters about her yard.
And the other day, I saw Sherry Polk (Manners) in town. Now living in Melville, Sherry was at visiting at her mother Jean Manners place after a birthday party for her Grandmother, Mrs. Fraser who lived in her own home until she was 100 years old.
It is evident that Wolseley provides a secure place for seniors to age gracefully. And for this I am grateful.

Dad consistently tells Ches and I that he wishes to live in his own home rather than move closer to us in Indian Head. He is luckier than most who cannot make this choice due to circumstances. We are grateful that he chooses Wolseley where people care enough to notice as he drives by. Thank-you. Carol Blenkin
