MACKEN
PENNY |
"The weekly conversations I have with my host, Penny, are insightful, interesting, and exciting. Penny always offers an informed angle on current and historical events around the world, largely because she has spent so much of her life abroad in Asia, Europe and South America. When we’re not engaged in political discussion, Penny and I share life stories, which allows us to both learn from and better understand each other. I’ve been able to do more than just learn from Penny’s experiences through our conversations—they have also allowed me to improve my abilities to communicate and empathize with others." - Macken

STELLA |
"It was great to be able to talk face to face with a younger person during the time of Covid isolation. Stella and I had many excellent conversations sharing information about our activities and our goals for the future. I especially enjoyed talking with Stella about her classes, her family, and the clothes she made. Rose is an incredibly talented clothes designer but has different goals for her life. Our weekly talks this past year really brightened my days when many of my usual activities had been cancelled. Many thanks to Stella and to the people who came up with the idea of pairing college students with seniors. Our talks brightened my life this past year and gave me some badly needed person to person connection." - Susan
