Patti Gorman shared two pieces:

An article about a book that features Seattle’s railings: https://frontporch.seattle.gov/2024/12/17/celebrating-the-legacy-of-bob-hayman-and-his-book-the-railings-of-seattle/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery The author’s personal experience with stroke-like conditions shaped the book’s purpose. He realized that a handrail could make all the difference for someone with mobility challenges.
I hope many of you are having fun as you socialize with your Wider Horizons peers! I hear that the parties we offered have been a great success. Thank you to all the hosts who stepped forward to offer their homes!
