Meet the Author/Book Discussion Thursday, January 28, 11:00am There's still time to join author Bev Griffith (and Generations Participant) for a virtual book discussion. Read her amusing and sensitive novella Easy Out (an easy read) on your own, then join us on Zoom for a discussion of the book and Bev’s writing process. The clock is ticking for lively Mary and steady Jack Brown as they approach their 40th wedding anniversary. They are still adorable lovebirds, but Jack must... make a major decision about their future before time runs out. The situation is complicated by their fit and feisty daughter and her nerdy husband, as well as by an array of quirky characters who try to help them find an easy out. Love stories abound in this thought-provoking tale which takes an upbeat look at some of life’s most pressing questions. Which way out would you choose? Chat with Bev Griffith, a professional organizer and author of Full Steam Ahead, about the creative process and how her 21 years spent in England, France and Switzerland influenced her philosophy and writing.

Generations held a virtual event "Grounds for Discussion" on November 20. Generations staff Doug Eschbach and Amy Stover hosted the program which was "broadcast" from the Generations Library. Among other discussion topics, they explained the Witting Tree and shared with several Participants who were in attendance: "The Witting Tree is a public remembrance of the estimated 17 to 22 Veterans who take their lives by suicide every day. The phrase Witting Tree, explains that witting is an adjective meaning to be conscious or aware of the full facts of a situation. We hope these acts of remembrance will bring awareness, consciousness, and witness to the burdens of war." ~Glen Miller/Veterans Coalition/Bucks and Montgomery County
