When Jane Yeager was in her mid 70s
she told her son Tom Werner she’d enjoyed snorkeling while a big, “pretty
fish” swam around her. Werner glanced at the spot in the ocean where his
mom had just been swimming and yelled “Mother! That pretty thing is a
shark!” And for that, Pearlsong Press of Nashville, TN has chosen the retired swimming instructor as the first honoree in their national program recognizing “Splendid Seniors Among Us”—people whose activities and accomplishments after age 65 can serve as inspiration to all ages. As the first “Splendid Senior Among Us” honoree, for March 2007, Yeager will receive a certificate and an autographed copy of Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds by Jack Adler. The book, published by Pearlsong Press March 15, 2007, recognizes 52 people throughout history who withstood any disabilities of age to continue contributing to society well past their 65th birthdays.
Yeager, too, has experienced physical
challenges. She is hard of hearing due to eardrum damage suffered decades
ago when she was “beaned” by tennis balls twice while playing that sport,
Werner says. The blows burst her eardrums and affected her equilibrium as
well as her hearing. She gave up tennis as a result, but still hits a pool
daily to do six laps, and enjoys going to the beach as well. ___________________________ Author/Publisher Appearances Pat Ballard
