My guest today is Jean Wine. Jean is a thoughtful, engaged, inspiring women, who at age 97, happens to be the oldest guest I have had on my podcast! Jean grew up in Worcester, MA, attended college in Maine, where she met her husband, Buddy, before settling in Westchester County, NY. Jean combined her gifts in art, education and enriching lives with her career at American Field Service (AFS). She cultivated lasting friendships with people around the world and traveled extensively. Jean is proud of her beloved children, Linda, Buzzy and Judith, their partners, her four grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She reflects on what she's done to age gracefully and the importance of making new friends and staying active. Although we recorded this conversation on a snowy day in January, I waited for this rainy day in May to release this episode. Today, May 25th, is Jean's third child, Judith's birthday. Happy Birthday, Jude, thanks for our 55 year friendship and heartfelt thanks for sharing your wonderful Mom with me and Paul! We treasure Jean as our "Bonus Mom"!! Enjoy the podcast!
