REMEMBERING A WONDERFUL DOCTOR-Today is the unforgettable birthday of my favorite otolaryngologist (a doctor dealing w/ disorders of the ear, nose, and throat). This post is dedicated to him. I met him because I had hearing problem. In the late 80's and on the early 90's, I experienced a decade of devastating, progressive, and profound bilateral hearing loss. This was the most challenging experience I had in life. But thank God, I live in an advance world of technology where it's still possible for a deafened artist like me to go back to the world of sound. On February 27,1997 I had a successful cochlear implant surgery at the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood, California.
WHAT IS A COCHLEAR IMPLANT? It is a miniaturized computer device that helps hearing impaired people like me to hear environmental sounds and understand the spoken words. Cochlear implant is not like magic. I didn't get my hearing back overnight. It took months of rehab and practice to decipher the mechanical sounds from my cochlear implant. Today I am a happy recipient of the cochlear implant technology. I am forever grateful to my ear surgeon, Dr. Jim who gave me the chance to recover 80% of my hearing.
Comment….I have posted this not as an ad. This personal experience may help those that are interested in hearing loss technology….. LLOYD THE DECON

A Date to Remember
virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”-Proverbs 31:10
Every year there is one special day put aside for mothers. What else could it be called but “Mother’s Day.” On this day we remember our mother who mattered to us and have also affected us in some profound, meaningful & permanent way. A mother is one person in our lives who has done more for us than anyone else.

Do not worry ...
Don't Worry
At age 20 we worry about what others think of us;
At age 40 we don't care what they think of us;
At age 60 we realize that no one is looking at us.
So the key is what we think of ourselves
So be happy You are the greatest

We are to be Respected and vailable
1970, when the United Presbyterian church informed 65 year-old Maggie Kuhn that she would have to retire from her executive position, she was suprised and unprepared. But, instead of bemoaning her fate, she proceeded to do what she'd done all her life: changed the rules. She and some older friends who were nearing retirement age organized.
They discovered common bonds with younger people during the turmoil of the Vietnam War. They forged an intergenerational organization they called "The Consultation of Older and Younger Adults for Social Change". Their motto: "Age and Youth in Action". At the suggestion of a television producer, Maggie decided that her group's name should be changed to the "Gray Panthers". Adoption of this name, according to Maggie Kuhn's biography "No Stone Unturned", "gave us a sense of urgency and, after all, we did want to create a stir".
Shortly after the Gray Panthers was formed at a national level, Oak Park native, Lillian Rosinger, heard Maggie Kuhn speak on a television talk show. Lillian was impressed with Maggie's intergenerational philosophy and her involvement with youth protesting the Vietnam war. Early in 1978, after working 25 years as a secretary, Lillian decided to take an early retirement so she could devote more time to social issues.

Administrative History
The Gray Panthers is an intergenerational advocacy group of citizens who are concerned with and active in improving the social conditions for everyone. They were founded in 1970 by a group of six women who were forced into early retirement. One of the most active cofounders of the organization, Margaret E. Kuhn, participated in picket lines and protests up until just days before her death in April of 1995. Some of the group's main objectives include the equal treatment of all people regardless of age, influencing social policies, and providing structure for grassroots populations to facilitate social change at a community level. The group emphasizes the problems of the elderly because social injustices affect them particularly hard. During the 1970s and 1980s some of the main issues that the group focused on were affordable housing for senior citizens and universal health care.
Initially called the Consolation of Older Adults, the group adopted the name Gray Panthers in 1972. They went on to secure non-profit status in 1974 and were instrumental in the establishment of several other non-profit organizations including the National Caucus of the Black Aged and the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform. They also worked closely with other groups including the Coalition for a National Health Service, Progressive Alliance, National Senior Citizens Law Center, and the Older Women's League. The Gray Panthers implemented their goals with varied techniques such as massive education programs, petition drives, consciousness-raising
