Produktinformationen "Stories, Poems, and Secrets Beneath the Waterfall"
Some call the Army Residence Community an old soldiers home on steroids. It is an unusual residence for veterans, spouses, and civil servants, some arriving here before they can draw social security. Most residents are active, referring to themselves as inmates (those who live in the Highrise) or street people (those living in Legacy cottages, or Lakeside homes). For the most part, they willingly revealed their secrets as did Count Rostov, The Gentleman in Moscow, living in The Metropol. Resident writers may have altered names and embellished some stories, creating a mixture of fact and fiction, but in truth life is how we tell it. This is not a daily diary of events at a retirement home, as penned by Hendrik Groen in The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen. Groen spoke of weak tea and potted geraniums, exasperated by the indignities of aging and did not inspire this collection of stories. These are stories of people who lived a life of service. There are more stories to be told by retirees and centenarians living among us, waiting to be discovered if only we listen.
