We’ve passed the half-centurymark.We’vewatched TV in black andwhite, driven to town ondusty roads.We remem-ber dial tones, party linesand clothes lines.We’vemade dinnerwithout amicrowave.We’ve sur-vived Florida summerswithout air conditioning.Thank goodness thosedays are over.

Thoughmodern conve-niences havemade ourlives easier compared to“the good old days,”they’ve alsomade it hard-er to find the naturalFloridawherewe—andour grandparents—learned to fish, swim,spot wildlife and collectseashells. Fortunately,our state parks preservemore than 700,000 acresof Florida landscapes.Better still, state parksoffermore than 50 camp-groundswhere familiescan stay the night, shar-ingwith children andgrandchildren the samethings our parents andgrandparents sharedwithus— stories, skills andlaughter— at campsitesnear sandy beaches, riv-ers, lakes orwoodlands.

Modern conveniences

have alsomade campingeasier. In Florida’s stateparks, full-facility camp-sites for tent campers andRVers includewater,electricity, a grill, picnictable and centrally-locat-ed restroomswith show-ers. An added incentive tobreak out the campfirerecipes—Floridians aged

65+ get a 50 percent dis-count on camping fees.(You’ll need proof of ageand Florida residency toget the discount.)

Want to shop aroundfor a park before you haulout the camping gear? TocelebrateGrandparentsDay in September, theFloridaDepartment ofEnvironmental Protec-tion is providing the Sen-ior Centerwith parkpasses for their guests.The one-time day pass isgood for one vehicle withup to eight people. Pickup your Florida StatePark day pass at the Sen-ior Center, 1400NorthMonroe Street,Monday –Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

We’ve lived longenough to become refer-ences; a primary sourceof information about whatlife was like 50, 60 or 70years ago. Our stateparks are also references,sources that remind us ofwhat we know. As grand-parents and citizens,we’re expected to in-

troduce the next genera-tions to yesterday’s land-scapes and lessons. Acamping trip seems like agood place to start.

Nearby state parks toexplore:

» Ochlocknee River,about an hour’s drive

fromTallahassee, offerspicnic facilities, a swim-ming area and trails. Aboat ramp provides easyaccess to the river forboth saltwater and fresh-water fishing.

» Florida Caverns,about 65miles fromTalla-

hassee, provides hikingtrails, fishing and pad-dling opportunities on theChipola River. Guidedcave tours are offeredThursday throughMon-day except Thanksgivingand Christmas.

» St. George Island,Tallahassee’s favoritego-to beach is about twohours away. The camp-ground is located behindhistoric dunes in the pineforest.

Keynote speakeris an expert onend-of-life care

With deadlines, sched-ules, and daily demands,sometimes our goals orplans can be put on holdindefinitely. Sometimesto the point that we thinkit is too late in life or toodifficult to come back,letting it become one ofthose things we never“get around to.”

HarryM. Fordham IIIdetermined that his edu-cation would not be oneof those things. Facedwith hardships and self-discoveries, Fordhamrecently graduated fromFlorida Agricultural andMechanical Universitywith a Bachelor’s Degreein building construction.On August 3, at age 59, hewalked proudly.

It wasn’t an altogethereasy road to the mortar-board. With his draftnumber coming up, hischoices included collegeor the army, neither ofwhich appealed to him atthe time so after highschool and during theVietnamWar, Fordhamenlisted in the US AirForce. After his militaryservice, he decided to goback to school and en-rolled in a junior collegein Ocala. There, he re-ceived his Associate’sDegree in building con-struction.

The young Fordhamtransferred to FAMU,where he remained foronly a year before takinga job as a radiation tech-nician. A cocaine addic-tion, arrest for drug pos-session in 2007 and hisincarceration for 11months, 29 days, and thedeaths of both parents(within a two-week span)put Fordham’s educationon hold.

Fordham took thistime as a turning point-

ing his life and began topray and reflect. Hecommented, “One thingabout jail is it gives youall the time to think.”Finding a way to copeand overcome the grief,Fordham took up draw-ing as a hobby. “Drawingwas therapeutic for me,”he said. “I drew everyday in prison.” He con-tinues to draw and haswon many awards fromthe North Florida Fair.

2007 was his lowestpoint, yet he knew hecould turn things around.After release from jail,he refocused on complet-ing his education. “I wasbrought up in a familythat believes in educa-tion,” he commented.With his family’s support,and that of past profes-sors and friends, Ford-ham attended Tallahas-see Community Collegein 2009 and transferredto FAMU in 2011, gradu-ating just two monthsago.

With degree in-hand,the young 59-year-oldplans to apply for profes-sional licensure as ageneral contractor. “Youare never too old tolearn,” Fordham says,and that’s an idea thatapplies to any ambition inlife.

Everlasting determination to gain everlasting education

St. Augustine, foundedin the name of Spain in1565, is America’s oldestpermanent Europeancolony. This colorful OldCity is pedestrian friend-ly, with a fascinating mixof famous and little-known attractions.

Castillo de SanMarcosNational Monument, builtto protect St. Augustinefrom enemy attack, issurrounded by 36-foot-high walls. Overlookingthe Matanzas River, itwas completed in 1695and is America’s oldestmasonry fort. Here, visi-tors can witness militarydrills, re-enactments andcannon firings.

Lesser known is FortMatanzas National Monu-ment. This stone fort,with its square walls and30-foot tower, was com-pleted in 1742 to protectthe southern end of theOld City. Due to its isolat-ed location on Rattle-snake Island, soldiersstationed there dependedon rainwater collected incisterns and provisions

transported monthly by asupply boat. The NationalPark Service ferriesvisitors to the fort forguided tours.

The Old City is linedwith publicly-accessiblehistoric homes dating tothe 1700s. The most fam-ous is The Oldest House

(Gonzalez-AlvarezHouse), once occupied bymidwife Mary EvansFenwick Peavitt Hudson.Mary, a widow, marriedJoseph Peavitt, paymas-ter for the British troops.After Peavitt died, Mary,age 56, married JohnHudson, age 28. What a

“cougar” she was!More obscure is the

Murat House, a pinkstucco house wherePrince Achille Murat(Napolean’s nephew)lived before marryingCatherine DaingerfieldWillis Gray, who wasGeorge Washington’s

great grandniece - thesame Catherine whoowned Bellevue, theplantation home on thegrounds of the Tallahas-see Museum.

Among St. Augustine’shistoric churches, Fla-gler Memorial Presby-terian Church is perhapsthe most architecturallymagnificent. It was builtin 1889 by hotel and rail-road baron Henry Fla-gler in memory of hisdaughter, Jennie. Flagleris buried next to Jenniein a mausoleum at thechurch. Designed in aVenetian Renaissance

style, the church is em-bellished with strikingterra cotta frieze workand is crowned with a150-foot copper dome.

Conversely, the littlewhite stucco First Con-gregation Sons of Israelsynagogue, dedicated in1923, is an unexpectedsurprise on CordovaStreet. The synagoguepossesses a Russian To-rah and aMegillah (Bookof Esther), both around200 years old.

Tolomato Cemetery,property of the Cathe-dral-Basilica of St. Au-gustine, dates to the1700s and is the subjectof local ghost tours. Less-er known is St. AugustineNational Cemetery’spyramid-shaped grave ofMajor Francis Dade, whowas killed by SeminoleIndians in the 1835 DadeMassacre.

LIFELONG LEARN-ING FOR SENIORS

Facts*:Lifelong learning is the

"lifelong, voluntary, andself-motivated" pursuit ofknowledge for eitherpersonal or professionalreasons. The term recog-nizes that learning is notconfined to childhood orthe classroom, but takesplace throughout life andin a range of situations.

Learn to dance, speak aforeign language, write anewsletter, improve a golfswing or repair a car—li-felong learning offerswonderful benefits foradults 50+. Those benefitshelp:

» Keep a mind sharp» Improve memory» Increase self-confi-

dence» Save money as you

learn to “do it yourself”» Introduce you to

others with the sameinterests

» Increase incomethrough learning a newskill or trade.

Almost half of the adultpopulation in the US en-rolls in some form oflifelong learning.

In the first comprehen-sive review of the re-search into “cognitivereserve” (the role of edu-cation, and mentally stim-ulating activities in pre-venting cognitive de-cline), researchers con-cluded that complexmental activity almosthalves the risk of de-mentia. The studies alsoagreed it is never too lateto build cognitive reserve.

Lifelong learning activ-ities are increasinglypopular among seniors,keeping them involved inlearning, enriching theirlives, their families’ livesand the community as awhole. Some of the activ-ities offered in our com-munity are listed below.
