Seniors companions offer comfort and friendship

Volunteer Corner

Today it's reading. Tomorrow it's card playing, and next week it could be a quick fishing trip. This is all part of Dennis Robertson's daily routine that he shares as a Gentleman's Senior Companion. His service with Panhandle Health District Senior Companion Program is honorary in his eyes, a privilege to share time with these amazing seniors. "I provide respite for the full-time caregiver, usually the wife, allowing her a break from the daily, constant care of her loved one," Robertson said. "She is then free for up to 4 hours to take care of herself and her needs without concern for her mate's safety or care."

Reader reflects on career choice

My wife and I recently had a week’s vacation in Waikiki, Hawaii. It’s beautiful and every thing it’s promised to be. It was our birthday (62) gift to us. Something and someplace for everyone’s pocket book, homeless to mega wealthy. Which brings me to my visit to a high end wristwatch (Chronometer) boutique shop near the Royal Hawaiian and Hilton Village hotels. With some trepidation, — I wear a $10 Kmart watch with faux diamond — I spied a huge Liberace or Elton John style diamond and gold encrusted watch. I held in my hand $78,000. “Is it the most expensive?” I asked. “No, I’ll show you that next,” the reply. A large masterpiece of craftsmanship with multiple dials and buttons was laid out on fine velvet to behold. $228,000. Wow, I was impressed. Who could afford to wear the price of a nice home on their wrist? Then I remembered our nation is full of Goldman Sachs style bankers, healthcare and others on the government payroll and sweetheart deals. I had just made poor career choices.
