Rick Crandall – Host

The good old days. There really were good vibrations, never forgotten and definitely a cause for celebration. You really did Love Lucy, muscle cars, Elvis, and poodle skirts. You asked “not what your country can do for you,” but rather “what you can do for your country.” “I have a dream” resonated and became part your soul. We remember, we celebrate, and together, let’s pass it on!

There are many factors that impact infectious disease for senior adults. We know that seniors are more likely to acquire CAP (community acquired pneumonia ) and to have more serious complications than younger patients, including hospitalization. Vaccination is the best line of defense for seniors.  Drug therapy for prevention against influenza for elderly patients at  high risk may also be initiated for seniors who have household exposures.  Smoking cessation support should also be offered because seniors who smoke or have smoke exposure are at a significantly higher risk of upper respiratory infections.  Even with the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, seniors are consistently heavily impacted by the illnesses. It seems that some flu seasons are worse than others. Stress can make patients of all ages more susceptible to illness and seniors with diminished lung function have difficulty clearing mucus.

I always recommend following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's every day recommendations to decrease the spread of infections. Seniors should avoid others with known illness, seek medical care as soon as symptoms appear, avoid contact with others if possible to avoid spreading the flu, cover nose/mouth when sneezing/coughing, place all tissues in the trash after use, wash hands frequently with soap and water and clean potentially infected surfaces frequently.

Debbie James

VOA Brunetti Lofts

On behalf of the Volunteers of America Denver Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, we would like to recognize Debbie James for this quarter’s Volunteer Spotlight.

The Community Room at the Brunetti Lofts, a provider of transitional housing, comes alive the 2nd Tuesday of every month with an artistic flair.  For the children 9 years of age and older the evening “art club is a special time for unlocking the elements of art theory and imagination under the direction of Debbie James. 

Each student joining the club reaps from Debbie’s generosity and is issued an art kit packed with goods she has purchased, such as markers, crayons, glue, pencils, paint brushes and more.  Art journals are also made available. With these items in hand, inspiration between meetings is fostered for many different projects. When asked how art benefits children and teens, Debbie’s finds that building confidence and opening the mind to new possibilities and perspectives rank high.

She is patient and kind-always willing to go the extra mile for her students.  Because of Debbie’s kindness and dedication, the lives of the youth who call Brunetti Lofts home have been enriched.  The RSVP program thanks Debbie, for sharing her skills and works-of -heART.

Rick interviews the great Tommy Roe, famous bubblegum singer/songwriter. Some of his hits include "Dizzy" and "Sheila." He tells Rick about his start how he became the "King of Bubblegum" and his time in the Army and much more. Pick up his Autobiography called “FROM CABBAGETOWN TO TINSELTOWN.” Highly recommened read by Rick. Listen every weekday morning for more.
