What a special afternoon at One Lincoln Park!
We wrapped up our Better Than Ever series with a memorable session featuring Jim Dwyer, retired counselor, poet, singer, and a true Dayton original. Jim shared stories from his life, his perspective on growing older, and the importance of humor, music, and continuing to learn throughout life.
Our Assistant Executive Director, Mike Bessler, introduced Jim, sharing their longtime friendship and the lessons Jim has taught him over the years. Prospective residents and members of our Men’s Discussion Group filled the room as Jim captivated everyone for nearly an hour with his stories, and wisdom.
Our Better Than Ever series has been all about connection, staying active, lifelong learning, and embracing each stage of life. We couldn’t think of a better way to close out the series.
