For Willie Gardner, 97,practice makes perfect

Willie Gardner has beenhard at work since he was justseven years old. For as long ashe can remember, hes helpedraise dairy and beef cattle onhis familys farm in Tallahas-see, and 90 years later he stilltends to his cows two to threetimes each week. Despite thisnon-stop responsibility, Gard-ner somehow still managed tomake room for a distinguishedcareer as an educator, findtime for military service, rear-ing a family with his wife,Juanita Gardner, and travel.

After serving in the AirForce during World War II,Gardner came home andearned bachelors and mas-ters degrees in educationfrom Florida A&M University.He went on to lead one ele-mentary and three highschools, and was recognized in2010 as a FAMU dedicated

scholar an honor that in-cluded induction into the FA-MU College of Education Gal-lery of Distinction.

Gardner always found timeto mix his knack for agricul-ture with his passion for edu-cation. While serving as prin-cipal at Raney ElementarySchool, for example, he built aflourishing garden on theschool campus. His leadershipas a mentor also extendedbeyond the classroom, helpingyoung males grow in otheraspects of their lives throughhis leadership as scoutmasterof Boy Scout Troop 161.

Now that his four childrenhave grown into FAMU gradu-ates and he is retired, Gardnerkeeps active as a class leaderat Bethel Baptist Church,where he practices his faith, isa Steward, and keeps mem-bers informed about ministryevents. In his free time Gard-ner enjoys exploring newplaces, and on a recent trip toSan Francisco he discoveredhis favorite city! So far, histravel has taken him to 45states.

Gardners advice to young-er people is to practice goodhabits: Bad habits are notworth the time in your life,he says. The best practices tohave are studying hard andstaying spiritual.

Hats Off to Thelma E. G.Lawrence, 95

Education has always beena priority for Thelma Law-rence. She never let anythingstand in the way of her owneducation not even the bur-den of walking 20 miles toschool during the era of segre-gation, watching white chil-dren take the bus. After over-coming that challenge, shewent on to spend 38 yearsteaching others to overcomethe challenges of life.

The Lincoln High Schoolgraduate embarked on a life-time as an educator after sheearned her bachelors andmasters degrees in elemen-tary education from FloridaA&M. Interestingly, her yearsat FAMU spanned a historicperiod as the school transi-tioned from a college into afull-fledged university.

Lawrence then dedicatednearly 40 years educatinghundreds of students at sever-al schools, teaching grades 1 8. Its no wonder she whole-heartedly believes everyoneshould obtain an education.Even after she retired, AuntThelma as she is known byso many in the community continued to nurturing collegestudents by feeding them,taking them to church, andjust being there for them.

Her passion for education

was shared by her husband of70 years, Freedman, who wasa school principal. He passedaway in 2013 and Lawrencefondly recalls that the founda-tion for their life-long lovewas always trying to under-stand and serve each othersneeds. For years, Thelma andFreedman spent time after

work catching crabs and fishfor cookouts with the commu-nity.

Aunt Thelma was consid-ered such an outstanding cookthat church groups competedto have her cook for theireventsjust ask folks at Be-thel AME Church where Law-rence has been an active mem-ber for more than 80 years.Lawrence also chaired thechurch Hospitality and theStewardess Board #3 commit-tees.

Advice from this 2015 Sil-ver Star to younger genera-tions: Respect elders andlearn from their wisdom. Mostimportantly, always do what-ever you can to help people.A wonderful cook, hostess,nurturer and exercise enthusi-ast, Aunt Thelma is truly aninspiration who proves theimpact education can have ona persons life.

Country roots and armysuits, Ed Walters, 87

Ed Walters picked up thefirst postage stamp for hiscollection in 1956 while he wasstationed in Alaska with theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers.As the stamp collection grewWalters pasted his storiestogether, each stamp markinga new experience over his 21years of military service andthroughout his post-militarylife.

Before serving in the Army,Walters worked on his familysKentucky farm. Later, hewould document his youngadult life in a book calledKentucky Roots, in which heshared stories ranging fromfarm work and walking bare-foot to grade school to servinghis country across the globe.Back in Kentucky he studiedmechanical engineering, andlater industrial engineeringand management at New YorkUniversity. With his degrees inhand, he spent 19 years teach-ing math to high school stu-dents.

Walters lessons werentconfined to public schools. Healso led Sunday school classes,welcoming the opportunity tobe a spiritual leader and helphis students connect with God.Today, his involvement withthe church remains a largepart of his life, whether atSunday services or duringhospital visits ministering topatients.

Also a 15-year volunteerwith One Blood, Tallahasseesblood center, Walters has beenable to influence numerouspeople to donate to the cause.This 2015 Silver Star says OneBlood provides a way for himnot only to help those in need,but also to keep his own bodyhealthy and revitalized. Andbeing a member of the TSCStamp & Cover Club for 27years keeps him involved withhis passion of collecting.

Life is also about living theexample. Its about loving andsharing with those closest toyou. This past Easter was a

particularly special day forWalters and his wife Anna asthey celebrated their 62ndwedding anniversary. Waltersbeams with excitement whentalking about celebration withAnna and their three children,four grandchildren and twogreat-grandchildren. Nothingtruly competes with the oppor-tunity to spend more time withloved ones and watching ourchildren nurture their fam-ilies, he says thoughtfully.

Its all colorful for NancyJohnson, 87

This lady is an outstandingexample of something youdont see much of these days: alife of blissful balance. NancyJohnson maintains an idealmix of family, activities, com-munity organizations and theserenity of Tai Chi.

Johnson started buildingher resume three-quartersof a century ago, when shestarted her first job at age 12and never looked back. Sheworked everywhere fromdepartments stores to a muni-tions factory, with many yearsas a camp counselor with theGirl Scouts. She enjoys lifewith an exceptional sense ofhumor, and admits to some-times feeling like an encyclo-pedia of information that noone wants to read but herfriends and family insist that

shes indispensable.These days, you can find

Johnson giving voice to herartistic side at the TallahasseeSenior Centers drawing andwatercolor class and ex-pressing her more tranquilside as a long-time volunteerfor the Tai Chi Society, whereshe has served as set leaderfor more than 15 years.

Johnsons greatest adven-ture she says is life with (hus-band) Craig. We married in1952, with no limits on thefuture. She spent a few yearsas the wife of an Airman inIllinois, and then the pairstarted a less conventionalquest: traveling with a carni-val. No, they werent reallycarnies, but Craig helpedassemble and pack up rideswhile Nancy sold tickets. Byworking together, they keptlove in their hearts and foodon the table.

Eventually finding her wayto Leon County Schools, our2015 Silver Star worked as aspeech language pathologistfor 30 years, helping countlesscapital city school childrenimprove their verbal commu-nication skills.

Now married for 62 happyyears, Nancy and Craig John-son enjoy their two children,four grandchildren and onegreat-grandson.

So whats her secret to along and prosperous life? With

characteristic humor, Johnsonexplains, Keep healthy, keepbusy, and most importantly dont die.

Hazel and D.W. Harris, 84and 85, Serve withAmazing Grace

Some things in life just gotogether like the fixings of afine recipe. Hazel and D.W.Harris are a shining exampleof two ingredients that whenblended together, make a cre-ation you just want to share!This amazing couple continuesto make life fuller for others.

The duo retired this yearfrom cooking for their churchsenior group. For more thantwo decades, D.W. and Hazelserved warm meals and evenwarmer smiles at GenerationsChurch (previously Oak CityChurch), where they havebeen members for 32 years.Over the last 24 years, thisgenerous couple dished outalmost 17,000 meals, cookingfor seniors, youth groups andspecial gatherings or occa-sions. Hazel is known for add-ing her own special flair toeach recipe, making everydish one of a kind. It seemsthat nothing can keep her outof the kitchen, where her com-mitment to service and pas-sion for cooking are in charge.

This pair of 2015 Silver

Stars still participate withKeenagers (Generationssenior group) and D.W. con-tinues to usher, along withother activities, as he has formore than 20 years. His spiritof service began with the U.S.Army in Korea, and after re-turning home, he spent 30years as a Tallahassee fire-fighter. That same selflessdesire to serve others led himto serving meals, side by side,with the love of his life. Thecouple helped organize anddistribute food throughSHARE (Angel Network) andthe church pantry. They con-tinue to visit individuals in thecommunity who are ill or inneed of support.

Hazel and D. W. reared fivedaughters and now enjoy timewith their 10 grandchildrenand more than a dozen great-grandchildren. Their largefamily is a testament to theirsuccessful and inspiring mar-riage, now spanning 68 blissfulyears. Its amazing to thinkthat it only cost $7 to get mar-ried back then, D.W. Harrissaid with a chuckle. We weremarried by the same womanwho married my parents.

Hazels tip for a strong,happy marriage: Take andgive a lot, and dont go to bedmad at each other. D.W.sadvice is a little more straight-forward: When she sayssomething, I say yes maam!

Another slam dunk for EdwinaB. Martin, 84

In her college days, Edwina Mar-tins long black braided hair, swungback and forth, just as she swung fromshooting hoops to hitting spikes acrossthe volleyball net. In classrooms andwith her teammates, the young athleteabsorbed valuable health educationskills, practices she would use andteach to others throughout her life.

Martin earned her bachelors andmasters degrees from Florida A & MUniversity, did additional studies atFSU and earned a professional degreein special health education from theUniversity of Connecticut.

Her passion to inspire creativity inyoung people drove her to spend 48years teaching in public schools and ather alma mater, FAMU. Perhaps themost enriching work during her careeras a professor were during three sum-mers at the Pentagon. It was a beauti-ful experience, Martin says. I re-searched womens activities and thoseof the special population (today calleddisabled).

She also earned a reputation as atasteful chef and event plannerthrough the many weddings shesplanned and baked goods shes madefrom scratch a successful businessshe managed from her own kitchen!

The 2015 Silver Star recalls that hergrandmother noticed how diligentlyshe cared for flowers and advised thatas long as I loved and treated peoplelike I did those flowers, Id be ok.Martin says, between loving othersand maintaining a good relationshipwith the Lord, Ive been able to staypeaceful and happy.

Today, Martin teaches exerciseclasses three times a week at Jack L.McLean Community Center, and isactively involved in Alpha Kappa Al-pha sorority, Red Hatters Society, andFAMU Ladies Art and Social Club. Alifelong member at Philadelphia Prim-itive Baptist Church, Martin findsherself involved in many ministries.

She shares with younger people,dont let fear keep you from goingafter opportunities. If you take thechance, these experiences can deeplyenrich your life much as they havemine.

Ed Duffee, Jr., 77 hes first onthe list

From legal work to community in-volvement to crossword puzzles, EdDuffee, Jr., always looks for solutions.Duffees friends and family knowtheyll always find a crossword withinreach, part of his daily practice to helpkeep his mind sharp. His determina-tion to find solutions isnt limited tochallenging puzzles, but stands evidentin his accomplishments.

After graduating from Florida A &M University, Duffee enlisted in theU.S. Army, spending three years trav-eling both domestically and abroad.While stationed in Germany, he real-ized his desire was to become a lawyer.

In 1965, Duffee graduated first inhis class from Florida A&Ms lawschool and landed a job with Floridasthen-Secretary of State, Tom Adams.Duffee proudly claims the distinctionof being the first African-Americansince Reconstruction to work in a pro-fessional position in the Capitol. Hewas also the first African-American tohold an instructor position at the Flori-da State University College of Law.

Duffees sense of justice is evidentfrom his career choices. He estab-lished his own law firm, was a found-ing member of the Tallahassee UrbanLeague, and served as member of aJudicial Nominating Commission, anadministrative judge and an unemploy-ment fraud prosecutor.

Duffee has established a stronglegacy for young minority profession-als to follow. He encourages youngerindividuals to never take shortcuts.Be diligent and see it through, hesays.

Dottie Daniels, 78, searching toserve

Dottie Daniels knows that if youwant to help others, you cant alwayswait for them to come to you. Some-times you have to go out and bringyour generous spirit to them. Almostthree decades ago, Daniels turnedtragedy into inspired commitment toothers. As a result, she is now widelyknown as the bread lady, helping ourcommunitys neediest residents makeit to another day.

Daniels left the mountains of NorthCarolina for Tampa back in the 50s.There she met her husband and togeth-er they moved to Tallahassee. Theyeach had two children, and this ex-panded Daniels family became her

whole world. Sadly, in 1986 she lost oneof her beloved children. But instead ofletting her heart be filled with despair,she filled it with people.

On her journey to turn sadness intosomething positive, Daniels beganvolunteering at a homeless center.Noticing that the pantry was stockedonly with PB&J, she became deter-mined to fill the void by foundingAgape Food Ministry. For the past 20years, she has provided food to thosein low-income neighborhoods. Togetheras a partnership with Publix, she picksup bread and delivers it to numerousapartment complexes and neighbor-hoods four times a week. She servesothers through affiliations with the BigBend Homeless Coalition, LighthouseChildrens Home, Westgate, CAREMinistry and Good Samaritan Ministry.

Daniels actively seeks people tohelp. With the support of an outstand-ing team, she goes into the woods andvisits tent communities populated withthose less fortunate, bringing food andclothing and sometimes even takingthem to the doctor for check-ups. Shesimilarly extends a helping hand to theelderly, ensuring that even the sim-plest tasks receive the attention theyneed.

Each relationship Daniels forms isunique and special, and she is workingto pass her philosophy to the next gen-eration. She tells others, Always makeyourself available to minister to theless fortunate. Because each circum-stance is different, be careful not tojudge.

Larae Donnellan and JudyLyle are competing at the 2015National Senior Games in aneffort to put Tallahassee onFloridas Pickleball map. Witha womens doubles medal totheir credit from the 2014 Flor-ida International Senior Games& State Championships, theyqualified for the 2015 NationalSenior Games in Bloomington/Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minneso-ta and will play in the crowdedand talented 65-69 age group.

It will be interesting, saidDonnellan, speaking betweengames at the Lafayette ParkSue McCollum Center. Judyand I are training like crazy.We play six or seven days aweek.

Donnellan and Lyle comefrom creative backgrounds.Larae Donnellan recently re-tired as a journalism and pub-lic relations professor at Flori-da A&M after a career in high-er education that began in1975. Judy Lyle is an artist whomade and sold her own pottery.

Since their retirements, theduo exploded on the FloridaPickleball scene and are takingsteps to shape Tallahassee asthe next hotbed of the sport inNorth Florida. Donnellan start-ed playing pickleball while stillworking at FAMU but herschedule only allowed her toplay once or twice a week.Once she retired on June 30,2014, there has been no lookingback.

Im really having fun as asenior athlete, Donnellan said.I have always been busy andactive in my career and havealways been competitive. Ivefound another part of me. Thespirit Donnellan brings to thegame is reflected in Lyle, whohas a strong tennis backgroundof playing at a high level. Sheplayed on several league teamsover the years at the number

one position and according toDonnellan, is the best femalepickleball player in Tallahas-see. Im a newcomer to thesport, Lyle said. Ive onlybeen playing about two years.Most of the top pickleballteams have a tennis back-ground.

Lyle seems to be the strate-gist of the Tallahassee duo andclaims she is still learning thedifferent strategies and shotsof the game. She watchesvideos of top players onlineand videos her own matches to

find ways to improve. In pick-leball, you can improve withage, she said. Its more of anet game and theres not asmuch movement. The size ofthe court allows people to pickit up and improve their gamein their senior years.

With Donnellans enthusi-asm for the game, evident atFlorida Senior Day, where shedemonstrated with local part-ners and curious onlookers inthe Capitol Courtyard, com-bined with Lyles strategicinsights and talent, expect a

smashing success.Other Tallahassee senior

athletes registered to competein the 2015 National SeniorGames, July 3-16, 2015 inBloomington/Minneapolis/St.Paul, Minnesota (as of April20) include Kermit Brown(Archery), Barbara Goltz(Swimming) Anthony Hardi-man (Golf) and Carol ZippyWartenberg (Softball).

periences. 2016 L3X will be offered April 4-8.

GAP SUPPORTLUNCH When: Wednesdays, May 27& June 24, noon 1:30 p.m.

Where: Leon County PublicLibrary, 200 W Park, Programroom A.

What: Complimentary lunchprovided for grandparentsand other relative caregivers.Reservations required for allattending.

What better way to spend aday during Spring Break thanfishing with friends at the JoeBudd Aquatic Center? Thatsexactly what a group of Grand-parents as Parents (GaP) par-ticipants did! Grandparentsand their grandchildren whohad a holiday from schoolspent an enjoyable day fishing,hiking and having a picniclunch.

First, everyone learned howto bait their hook but mostended up leaving that job tothe professionals. Then every-one grabbed a pole and headedout to the docks. By the end ofthe hour-long fishing session,everyone had caught at least acouple fish. But the honor ofcatching the most fish and thebiggest fish went to the grand-children.

They were also the oneswho found the most insects andwildlife on the nature hike. Thehalf-mile long walk throughthe woods was guided by DougEngel and his assistants, whotaught GaP all about the wild-life that lives in the woods by

the lake. The hike ended withgrandchildren and theirgrandparents running up tothe top of the dam. All thegrand-families had a greattime together at Joe Budd. Infact, everyone wants to goback again!

Grace and Autumn Mathis would agree that nothing beats a good dayfishing.

FACTS

Florida has passed New York inpopulation, growing by nearly 800people each day in 2014, moving itfrom 4th in the country to the 3rdmost populous state.

With more than 4.8 million residentsage 60 and older, Florida currentlyranks first in the nation in percent-age of elders. Floridas senior pop-ulation is expected to increase to 7.1million by 2030.

73% of Americans over age 45 wantto stay in their homes for life; how-ever, most homes are not designedto accommodate the needs of peo-ple over age 65. According to theCDC, thousands of older Americansfall at home every year.

Residents age 65 and older areresponsible for 35.9% of homeown-ership in Florida and 27.4% in LeonCounty. Nationwide, homeownersage 65 and older have enoughwealth to cover nursing home costsfor 42 months. However, the aver-age older renter cannot afford evenone month in a nursing home.

The vast majority of seniors in the USwish to age in place but most ofthese seniors live in suburbs or ruralcommunities without access topublic transportation.
