10/1987 Senior News � FRIDLEY SENIOR NEWS " Coming Together �Q) ' CENTER CITYOF _-_- (612) 571-1304 FRI DLEY - - - OCTO ER 119, 87 Grief hurts! Who wants it? Dear Seniors, The Senior Center is offering a group called "Coping with Grief" starting November 4th for six weeks. I 'm going to be co-facilitating it with Fruth Smith. Most of you know Fruth and a few ��f you know me. I thought I ' d approach you with a little commercial so I could make you a little more comfortable with grief and we could have a profitable group. The definition of grief is a deep and poignant distress due to bereavement or a cause of much suffering, or the process of dealing with loss. No matter what the definition, I don't know anypne who wants it . The trouble is, it is a little more complicated than that. We all suffer with loss in life from little on up. We have to deal with grief whether we like it or not . Sometimes our losses asses are bigger than others orl�user together than ethers and we get stud; in the process of grieving and need a boost. . I think, and there are a lot of people who agree with me, that grieving is normal and in fact that it is a healing process that has to be done. Lass is a wound and grief farms a scar . Without grief, the wound continues to hurt and maybe affect our functioning. Fain is no fun and so people say, " I don' t want to grieve. " or " I grieved enough now" or " It ' s been a long time I should be over grief by now. " or "I don' t i want to open old wounds. " All these things refuse to recognize that grief heals, it does not wound. The lass is the wound and we can' t avoid the lass. Grief is necessary. Everyone handles grief in their own way but there are tools that make it easier . I have studied what people who are experts say and I can pass some of that ��n to you in this group we are going to have. We want to talo: and care and share and dog, all tools that help us to move on in our lives soy that we can grow and take control over what our lives become. Please check: with the Senior Center to register for our group. We are trying to keep the numbers to a comfortable level so that we can get to know each ether well enough to share, so register early.

OPTIONS RETIREMENT: A TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS, CREATIVITY There are three or four times in life when we need to sit down and re-invent ourselves; sometimes it's a divorce situation, loss of a spouse or children leaving home, But the most important time for re-invention, a period that most everyone goes through, comes at retirement , That's Howard Shank's view of life, Shank, who was president and chief creative officer of the Leo Burnett advertising agency in I Chicago, retired in 1979. He said he didn't look at retirement as an end. Instead he saw opportunity and challenge. Now, in between playing golf and painting for fun, Shank speaks about .the "Art of Self-Reinvention" and has written a book, Managing Retirement, He' ll present his speech as part of the Pre-retirement portion of Senior Options from 6-7pm on Monday, Oct, 19, Senior Options, held October 19 and 20 in the Minneapolis Auditorium is the Midwest's only maJor Expo designed to acquaint pre-retirees seniors and children of the elderly with a wide variety of lifestyle opportunities . Shank's speech and his book are full of ideas on how to take advan- tage of what many think are stopping points in their lives. He is firmly against what ne calls "settling for coping", when a great change takes place in a person's life. "To cope is to gr.i.t your teeth and hang in there as lousy as you feel," said Shank. 'It's putting on a good face. Whereas to create is to recognize that life is full of possibilities no matter how much of a standing start you are coming from, "Instead of taking thepassive 'leaf in the wind' approach to life, we have to .respond to the challenges and use the creative process," says Shank, Senior Options will offer a number of seminars and special activities including an Older Workers.- Forum,_ destgned' to assist those preparing for retirement. In addition the expo will explore all areas of prime Interest to seniors including housing options, health and wellness, life-long learning, finance, public policy, religion and spirituality and safe living . Tickets are $5 ($3 in advance) and are good for both days of the Expo. Bus transportation from convenient locations throughout the Twin Cities is also available.

Marian is empathic about anything relating to the Histor- ical Society and would appreciate any available help. Just a few closing notes, unlike many families, Marian's family with one exception, still lives in the near vicinity of Fridley; Marian has thirty-five grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren ranging in age from three montihs to ten years . Marian still serves as steward on her church council and continues to make herself available as all around friend to people. As recognition of all of Marian's deeds and accomplishments, she has received many certicates of merit and was 1987 Outstanding Senior Woman for Fridley. To say-Marian Anderson is a pillar in her community would be an understatement, Marian has placed herself in that select group that belle'ves that they have a duty towards the welfare of their fellow people. One can sometimes wonder how these select few are compensated for their efforts. Somehow Marian doesn't seem worried. Maybe that's her secret, BOB TUTTLE Bob Tuttle was born in Chicago, 11.1 , in May., 1908 and was adopted by the Tuttle family while in his infancy. Bob's parents apparently tired of big city life, sought roots in minnesota, first in Pipestone and then Lake Benton. After ten years of school, Bob interrupted his education to enter the Army-Calve.ry.,. From 1933-36, Bob was in training and service at Foot Meade, S.D . In 1936, the Army Air Force caught Bob's attention and he transferred to that Service Branch, He spent the next three years in Hawaii serving on ground crew duties . In 1939, Bob returned on tKe last ship out of Hawaii before the war and continued his traint-ng as a mechanic . When WW -II broke out, Bob was among those who saw duty in. .NoBrtohb Africa serving there until .1944 when he was transferred to Italy, recalls some events from those days such as seeing Shirley Temple in person, being present when Am lia Earhart landed at his homebase, and having the opportunity to sha a hands with Pope Pty s XII , In 1947, after touring much of Italy on occupational duties, Bob returned to his native land being assigned to Williams A.F .B. in Arizond� From there, Bob went to Europe where he was involved in-the Berlin Airlift, and later was reassigned to the Phillipine Islands .. . Bob finally found his roosting place in California at the Marsh A.F .B. where in 1959 he retired with twenty-six years of unbroken service and a Good Conduct Commendation, But 51 was too young an age to quit work entirely so Bob took a position as Maintenance at University of California where he worked another fifteen years retiring in 1974. While he was employed at the University, Bob remet a former girlfriend named Adelynne and not too long after they were married, After Bob's second retirement in 1974, the Tuttles settled in Fridley. Bob finding that 66 was still too young an age to put his engeries away signed up as Maintenance man at the Fridley United Methodist Church. After nine more years of work, FRIDLEY's OUTSTANDING SENIORS - 1957 MARION ANDERSON In 1890, Andrew Johanson was born, one of Fridley's early residents, spending a good share of his life in his hometown, Andy met, courted, and won the heart of a little girl named Mae and from this marriage five little girls and five little boys were born. One of the little girls was given the name of Marian. Marian was born in October of 1914 while her parents were living in Minneapolis, When Marian was three years old the Johanson family returned to Fridley and became long time residents . Through one of her sisters, Marian became acquainted with another Fridleyete, Alfred Anderson, which later blossomed into marriage. Marian and Alfie lived in a number of quarters until they settled down on Ashton Avenue and raised eight children. Prior to her marriage, Marian attended eight years of school in Fridley and one year of high school in Minneapolis. Her schooling I was interrupted by the need of her help at home. Though Marian's first interest was her family of two girls and six boys, she still found time to be active in her church and school affairs. Marian was Sunday School Superintendent and a member of the Council at the Episcopal Church on East River Road. When that church left Fridley, Marian Joined the Covenant Church where she again was a Council member and served as a Sunday School teacher. In 1945, Marian was a prime organizer and first president of the Fridley In 1966, the Anderson family moved to Spring Lake Park. About a year later, Alfie failed to survive a sudden heart attack. Marian took a Job as cook at the Unity Hospital where she worked for thirteen years, It was during this time that Marian became mother, not only to her children, but to many people in the community Performing errands and making time for timely visits. j In 1950, Marian retired from the world of wages to devote more time to community affairs. Not long after her retirement, Marian returned to Fridley taking up residence at Village Green. During the following seven years, -.Marian has been busy in such organizations as the Blood Mobile, CARE, and the International Or of Handicapped, Marian was active in getting Metro Mobility established in this area; a very beneficial service to seniors and handicapped persons with transportation concerns. Marian was a charter member of the Friendly Fridley Folks and was the first unofficial coordinator of the group. Now days Marian spends many hours doing errands and favors for residents of Village Green. "Call Marian" is indeed a much used phrase. Keeping her residence looking nice and Alantin g flower gardens around has been one of Marian's pet proJ-ects. Other interests that Marian enJoys are music, especially piano, and reading .
