Many of my students are members of an Older Adults Centre, where folks can join as early as 55 years old.

This is great, because there are always new ideas coming into the centre. The down side of all of this is that sometimes health prevents members from continuing, or in fact they die.

I just experienced this with a man who was on the Board of Directors with me, and had become a friend. Last week he asked me to set aside a few hours to teach him how to use iPad that he had just purchased.

I found out yesterday that he passed away early yesterday morning and now I won't get a chance to watch him experience something new. I'm a bit sad today.
