Avid might be a tame word to describe James “Jim” Beckerich’s love ofclimbing.Beckerich, who was a high school mathematics teacher for 36 years, as
well as a men’s soccer and baseball and co-ed floor hockey coach, enjoyedhaving his summers free.It gave him the opportunity to follow his passion.Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Everest base camp, Machu Picchu
in Peru, Ixta and Orizaba in Mexico, and Cotopaxi in Ecuador—the WestChester senior has conquered them all.And just last year, Beckerich climbed to 19,600 feet at Aconcagua Peak,
the highest peak in South America and only second in the world to MountEverest, before running out of gas, just shy of reaching the summit.But, he said, “there are amazing peaks right here in the United States.”Besides these adventures, for two months every summer, Beckerich takes
his Nissan, with his climbing gear and clothes, and drives to the Coloradopeaks—where he has climbed 40 of the 14,000-foot peaks—or other peaksaround the United States. He also has scaled Mount Whitney and Mount Shasta in California,
Mount Rainier in Washington, Mount Hood in Oregon, and MountWashington in New Hampshire.

“If you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens, you livedit twice,” says Michael J. Fox.
Do I need to spend my daysimagining something awfulhappening to my husband,Bob, or to me? A caraccident? A heart attack? Ahouse fire? If, God forbid,any of these things were tohappen, must I go throughthe agony of them beforethey even occur, if in factthey ever do? No.Although I’ve recently written about
my little cat, Jordy, he’s had anotherremarkable experience in his short life. A few months ago, I wrote that when
Jordy was a kitten, his back leg wasdestroyed. Given no medical care,someone had left him to suffer. Bob and
I don’t know the person who did this tohim, nor how it happened. Thank Godwe found him and adopted him. After his leg was amputated, he was a
happy kitten. Now he slips,slides, falls, and bouncesright back up, purring thewhole time. But last week, Bob and I
found Jordy crying in pain,unable to get up. Too earlyin the morning to see ourregular vet, we took him toan emergency clinic.
Although the doctor was great, she wasunable to help him.When I was a practicing
psychotherapist, I learned that traumas,particularly deaths, bring up older deathswith nearly the same intensity as if theyhad just happened. Helplessly watching

He said 50 percent of his climbs arerepeated, while 50 percent are newexpeditions.“I’ve had amazing adventures,” 67-
year-old Beckerich said. “It’s an amazingfeeling when you get over the top. You’veworked all day to attain the pinnacle. IfI could bottle it, I’d sell it.” But Beckerich only stays at the
summits for 15 minutes to half an hourbecause of how fast the weather canchange at those heights. “You don’t want to give it disrespect.
Lightning, hail, wind can strike at anytime.”Although retired from teaching math,
Beckerich is still teaching to the “curiousand committed” through ChesterCounty Night School and DelawareCounty Community College in his class“Adventures of a Lifetime.”
He also has given presentations atAshbridge Manor Senior Living Centerin Downingtown, Safe Harbor homelessshelter in West Chester, and EasternMountain Sports in Exton, as well asAfro-Asian classes at Rustin High Schoolin West Chester School District.Beckerich’s topics range from
choosing an outfitter and training tips,to organizing gear lists and getting theright pre-trip medical tests.“My mission is to motivate, inspire,
and educate people of all ages andinterests in their quest to make adifference on the planet, pursue theirdreams, and make each day count,”Beckerich said. “If you take care ofyourself and are not afraid to take achance, there are a lot of adventures todo.”Although he started out climbing
alone, Beckerich doesn’t recommend it. “Tragedies happen,” he said, referring
to a recent avalanche at Mount Everestbase camp. “I camped there two yearsago.”He also had a fall about six years ago
in the Colorado peaks when he was byhimself. “There was a mini-rock slide. I had to
self-medicate and walk to get help. I hadto be medevaced to a Denver hospital. Iwas lucky; I just had a severe lacerationto my lower leg,” Beckerich said.Now, after meeting other climbers
with his same passion, Beckerich goeswith them. This summer he spentseveral weeks climbing in the Denverarea.“Once you get started on adventures,
people give you other places to go,” hesaid. Now on his wish list is
circumnavigating around Mont Blanc inthe Alps.Beckerich said in order to take
adventures such as the ones he has goneon, you have to be in shape. He goes tothe gym once a day for a one-hourworkout and takes 1.5-hour to two-hourtreks through nearby parks.He also has trekked through the
Adirondacks on the Appalachian Trail “tomake sure I’m fit. The body has itslimitations … make sure your diet isgood, as well as your sleep habits andlifestyle. “I’ve been a lucky person. I’ve had my
health, the opportunity, and the financialability.”For further information about
Beckerich’s adventures, enroll in hisfall/spring sessions or contact him [email protected].

Dan Cooper grew up in EastLiverpool, Ohio, the son of aNavy officer dad. Unlike
most sixth-graders, Cooper knewexactly that he wanted to do with hislife. That early, he had his eyes set on
attending the U.S. Naval Academyand becoming a naval officer. Andinstead of just dreaming about it, heknuckled down and prepared for it,seriously studying and gaining thebroadest knowledge he could get.When he graduated from high
school in 1952, he was first turneddown for an appointment because hewas unable to pass the eye test. So heattended Washington & JeffersonCollege for a year before he was ableto gain a waiver for his eyes andbecome a plebe at the naval academy.Graduating in 1957, he spent 18
months as an ensign aboard anamphibious ship before he was able tovolunteer for submarine service. Aftersix months in submarine school, hespent three years as a junior officer atsea on a diesel submarine, after whichhe was selected to spend a year atHarvard, studying internationalrelations.“Then,” Cooper says, “I was sent
orders to be interviewed by Admiral
Hyman Rickover, who personally metand selected every officer going intothe Navy nuclear power program.”How did that go? “Not real well,” Cooper says. “The
admiral had a very confrontationalstyle, challenging everyone to realizehow rough the job would be andquestioning frankly whether they’d beable to handle it. He asked me sternlywhy I wasn’t doing better.
“What I learned later was that thiswas his style. He apparently never metanyone that he didn’t feel could dobetter. And he let them know it in nouncertain terms,” he says. “I’ll behonest: I hoped that as I furthered mycareer, he wouldn’t be around. “Only later did I realize how much
he meant to developing a safe nuclearNavy. He was tenacious, patriotic,absolutely dedicated, and supremelygifted in all the other ways he had tobe in order the fashion the nuclearNavy we have today. Frankly, I can’tthink of one other person who couldhave pulled that off.”In 1966, Cooper became executive
officer on the USS Simon Bolivar, anuclear-powered ballistic submarinethat was longer than a football field. Itcarried 16 Poseidon nuclear missilesand had two separate crews of 14officers and 126 enlisted men.Rotating the crews’ time aboardallowed a much greater time at sea inthe sub’s mission of providing nucleardeterrence.Cooper served for two years aboard
the Simon Bolivar before he wasassigned as an aide to the vice chief ofnaval operations. That was followedby two years as commanding officer ofthe USS Puffer (SSN-652), a nuclear

attack submarine operating out of PearlHarbor. Then came three years ascommander of a submarine squadron,home based in New London, Conn.In 1980, he was selected to flag rank
(admiral), serving as comptroller, seasystems command. And after two yearsthere, he served for three years as budgetofficer for the Navy. He continued to getmore responsibilities, becoming director ofnavy program planning and budgeting andbeing promoted to vice admiral (threestars).In 1986 he became commander,
submarine forces, Atlantic fleet. Then itwas back to Washington again to serve forthree years as assistant chief of navaloperations for undersea warfare, his lastpost before retiring from the Navy in 1991. As an aside, he recalls that when the
film The Hunt for Red October was to befilmed, the script came to his office tomake sure it revealed nothing classified. He says, “I took the script home to read
and told them the next day that it revealednothing classified and that, except for oneoff-color story that didn’t reflect well onthe Navy, I saw it as a fine, G-rated filmthat I’d be comfortable in having my wifeor grandmother see.” Did they delete that story before
releasing the film? With a smile, he says,“They did.” You might think that after shedding all
the responsibilities he shouldered duringhis Navy days, retirement would becometime for a life of relaxation … and perhapssome serious golf. But, when he wasoffered the job of undersecretary forveterans benefits, Department of VeteransAffairs, he felt he had to say yes. During his six years in that position, he
testified before congressional committeesseveral times a year. That had been acommon experience for him during all hisyears in Washington, when he testifiedbefore Congress frequently as a submarinerand navy budget officer. He also remembers vividly the time
when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA with whichthe senator needed to be familiar.After retiring a second time in 2008,
Cooper did a detailed analysis ofretirement communities and found one inCentral Pennsylvania where he and hiswife, Betty, came in 2012 to live inretirement. As can be expected, his “retirement” is
so full of activities that most people wouldconsider it going full throttle. And hereflects that it’s frosting on the cake that somany other Navy men have discovered thesame retirement community.

Jordy cry, I relived the last day of the lifeof my cat, Eddie. Therefore, instead of imagining the
worst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice, I’m reliving theworst-case scenario of the past. Two years ago, when Bob brought
Eddie’s body home from an emergencyclinic, he gently placed him, still warm,in my arms. I cradled him while I rockedhim and sang to him for one last time.I am only hurting myself by reliving
that day again and again. Only recentlyhave I allowed myself to relive the goodtimes, the funny times, like Eddie’sfamous glare, his eyes half shut in anintense stare, looking for anything thathad been added to the room or movedan inch so that he could pounce on itand smash it to smithereens. I can choose what to think. And now
I have a choice with Jordy. I can imaginethe worst-case scenario or not. Jordy’s day turned out gloriously. Our
regular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated. That very afternoon, with no pain
and no crying, Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened. Jordy sleeps between Bob’s knees. Bob
doesn’t move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat. That night,Jordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort. Jordy wasn’t dreaming about whatever
bad thing might come his way. Twitchinglightly, he was probably dreaming aboutthe chipmunk he loves to watch from thewindow. I’ll always learn my most important
lessons from my cat.

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers: Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel
By Andrea Gross
There’s no doubtabout it. If I livedin the days before
air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare, Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley. I would have it designed
by one of the top architectsin the country, decoratedwith the finest art and antiques, andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe. As the weather heated up and the
winter social season wound down, myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome, take a steamship—or possibly arailroad—to the east bank of theHudson, and move into our 50-, or 60-,or 70-room manor house. Once we were comfortably ensconced,
we’d picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city.During the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers. Themen, who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs, wanted to live as thoughthey had, in both the literal and
figurative sense, been to the manor born. Many of their opulent estates are now
open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area, a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City. My husband and I anchor ourselves in
the Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty, which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting, or at least
the most well known, of thesuper-elites.
The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop: the
Vanderbilt Mansion, ownedby Frederick Vanderbilt,grandson of railroad baronCornelius “Commodore”Vanderbilt. As we tour the mansion,
the guide tells us that atGrandpa’s death in 1877, hewas worth $105 million,which, if converted into
today’s dollars, would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates. When I hear this, I’m surprised that
the house, although filled with carvedceilings, marble columns, heavy drapes,and delicate tapestries, has only 54rooms.“This is the smallest of the
Vanderbilts’ 40-plus homes,” explains theguide. “His relatives called it ‘UncleFreddie’s cottage on the Hudson.’”
Up Close with the Upper Class
New York’s moneyed class likedto build summer estates along
the Hudson River.
The Vanderbilt Mansion wasextravagantly and elegantly
furnished, as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America.
A statue of FDR and ER sits outsidethe Wallace Visitor Center at theFranklin D. Roosevelt National
Historic Site.

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage.
Springwood, Top Cottage, and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and
Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually, but the property,which comprises The Franklin D.Roosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark, contains three separate homes. Springwood, where FDR spent many
of his pre-presidential years, is a mere20,000 square feet, and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos. Ofcourse, the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States!After FDR’s father died, the home and
surrounding land passed to Sara,Franklin’s mother. From that time on,she not only controlled the familymoney, but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son. For example, before allowing him to
build a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property, she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house. She worried that ifhe needed medical attention, anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark. Roosevelt, who at that time was
probably the most important man in the
world, protested but eventually agreed tohis mother’s demands, and Top Cottage,which is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the word,was built in 1938.
Our 32nd president, says our guide,may have had his way with world leaders,but not with his own mother!The only part of the estate that wasn’t
under Sara’s direct control was Val-Kill,
the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt. She wanted cozy andcomfortable, and that is exactly what shegot. The knotty pine walls are covered
with photos of family and friends, theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched, andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th century—including my own mother-in-law.
Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates: Wilderstein,
the home of Margaret “Daisy” Suckley,who was a distant cousin and “closefriend” of Franklin Roosevelt—“Howclose,” says the guide, “is not known”—and Locust Grove, the home of SamuelMorse, a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name.
We’ll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit. As we’ve learned, theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer. The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so.

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt areburied in a garden on the Hyde Park
property.
Springwood, which was purchased byFDR’s father in 1866 and updated manytimes thereafter, was modest compared to
the estates of its neighbors.
Eleanor Roosevelt’s home, Val-Kill, isthe only National Historic Sitededicated to a first lady.
Locust Grove Estate was owned bySamuel Morse from 1847 to 1872.
He was an outstanding painter but isbest remembered as the inventor of
the Morse code.

Dear Savvy Senior,What can you tell me about online
memorials? My uncle recently passed away,and some of the family thought it would beneat to create an online memorial to paytribute to him and accommodate the manyfamily and friends who are scatteredaround the country and couldn’t attend hisfuneral.– Grieving Niece
Dear Grieving,It’s a great idea! Online memorials
have become increasingly popular overthe past decade, as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed
loved ones as away to recognizeand rememberthem.
OnlineMemorials?An online
memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere theirfamily and
friends can visitto share stories,fond memories,and photographsand to comfortone another andgrieve. The memorial
can remainonline for life (ora specific periodof time),allowing peopleto visit andcontribute anytime in the
privacy of their own space.Online memorials started popping up
on the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known. But now, these sites arefor anyone who wants to pay tribute totheir departed family member or friendand ensure they will be remembered.Content typically posted on an online
memorial includes a biography, pictures,stories from family and friends, andtimelines of key events in their life, alongwith favorite music and even videos.Another common feature is the
acceptance of thoughts or candles offered

MEMORIAL from page 11
by visitors to the site who want to sendtheir condolences and support to thegrieving party.An online memorial can also direct
visitors to the departed person’s favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers.
How to Make OneTo make an online memorial, you can
either create an independent website oruse an established memorial site, whichis what most people choose to do.Memorial websites are very easy to createand personalize and can be done in lessthan 30 minutes.
There are literally dozens of these typesof sites on the Internet today. To locatethem, do an online search for “onlinememorial websites.” In the meantime,here are a few good sites to check into.The biggest and most established site
in the industry is Legacy.com, which alsopublishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliations.Creating an online memorial through thissite (see www.memorialwebsites.legacy.com)will run you $49 for the first year, plus anannual $19 sponsorship fee to keep itvisible.Some other popular sites to check out
are ForeverMissed.com, which offers afree, barebones option, along with apremium plan that runs $35 per year or$75 for life, and iLasting.com, whichruns $49 per year or $99 for permanentdisplay.If you’re on a tight budget,
consider LifeStory.com, which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to it.iMorial.com is free if you allow ads to beposted on your uncle’s page, or it costs$50 without ads.Or, if your uncle used Facebook, you
can also turn his profile into a memorialfor free when you show proof of death.
Once his page is memorialized, hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stop,but (depending on his privacy settings) itstill enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences. In addition, you can also request a
Look Back video, which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting youruncle’s pictures and most liked statusmessages.
