Many Of These People Have Been Older Relatives Friends And Acquaintances Who Have Been A Great Influence In My Life And In The Lives Of Others. I Have Endeavored To Honor Them Against A Thematic Backdrop Of Agelessness Which They All Represent. They Deserve To Be Celebrated Because Of Their Wisdom Knowledge Wit And Zeal For Living Wholesome And Exuberant Lives In Spite Of The Social Environmental And Health Related Obstacles That They Encountered.The Poem Lonnie Is Based On The Actual Words Spoken By An Older Gentleman Who Proudly Expressed To Me His Leisure-Time Activities. I Immediately Thought These Are Age Old Occurrences Because Old Age Is Just A Play On Words.
