"Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more
powerful in the mature than in the young." So said W. Somerset Maugham,
one of the 52 people whose achievements after age 65 are featured in Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds.
The inspiring ensemble includes Mary Baker Eddy, who was 86 when
she founded the Christian Science Monitor; Alexander Graham Bell,
who received a patent for his work on a hydrofoil boat at age 75;
Benjamin Disraeli, who became prime minister of England for the second
time when he was 70; and Susan B. Anthony, who was past 80 when she
founded the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.
Splendid Seniors reminds us
that creativity, passion & influence can not only flower in later years,
but bear delicious fruit.
"The longer I live, the
more beautiful life becomes."
Frank Lloyd Wright

Praise for Splendid Seniors:
Great Lives, Great Deeds
"Jack Adler's new book is great!
Splendid Seniors should be in
every school library, if not on
every required reading list.
It contains a lot of things
I'd forgotten, as well as many new
and interesting facts about the
selected "senior achievers."
It makes me want to walk up
to people and say
'Did you know....?'
I found this book to be informative
as well as delightful --
a good gift
for "juniors" and "seniors."
My Dad will be getting a copy
for Father's Day!"

"While
having a senior moment means
you may have forgotten something,
reading Splendid Seniors:
Great Lives, Great Deeds is the key to remembering something:
the amazing accomplishments
made by those over the age of 65.
Written by North Hollywood author,
playwright and screenwriter Jack Adler,
the book recognizes 52
achievers who
are recognized for their creativity,
political and
scientific contributions,
personal expression and community
involvement.
Reading about Alexander
Graham Bell, Mary Baker Eddy and Benjamin Disraeli, whose lives were
rich with purpose in their later
years,
is an inspiration to all that it's
never too late to pursue a
passion.
As Frank Lloyd Wright said,
"The longer I live,
the more beautiful
life becomes."
"You gain strength,
courage and confidence
by every experience
in which you really stop
to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing
you think you cannot do."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"When one door closes,
another opens;
but we often look
so long and regretfully
upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
