Abigail Van Buren fielded reader letters about a married, bashful cowboy admirer and a demand for a go ahead to pursue him. Other questions cover a father delaying daughter’s tuition for a broken boat engine and a Mother's Day corsage dispute.
The piece highlights efforts like Project SCOPE in New York City where teens assist seniors with errands for pay or credit, and pilot programs in Philadelphia schools pairing older residents with students. It also profiles Life Centers in shared housing, Fairhaven College’s Bridge Project with tuition-free classes, and Bucknell University’s cross generation activities including carpooling and shared housing to foster mutual benefit and retention of older residents.
Athens residents show strong interest as the AAUW Tour of Homes showcases restored houses Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. A map comes with a $3 ticket. The Murphree house from 1815, once Daniel Stewart's, features original red pine floors and exposed beams. The Route 690 Baker home, begun as Harrison farm after the Civil War, preserves original oak floors and blends antiques with modern furnishings.
The Athens Messenger describes a home tour featuring the Monroe Johnson cedar and brick residence with a circular staircase and handmade furnishings, the Jesse Day house with Mrs Day's artworks, and the 1842 Roberts home saved from apartments. It notes Miss Davis's 1830s white brick home and a Rose Medallio collection. Tickets are sold through local banks and shops, with proceeds for women graduate and research stipends.
