Well, the 2024-25 school year has begun — to the dismay of some, and to the applause of many. I saw someplace that there are over 45 million senior citizens in America. Put another way, approximately one in seven are 65 years old or older. Besides their years, their experiences are many and valuable. I see where Sister Jean, the very senior cheerleader of the Loyola Ramblers men’s basketball team, turned 105 yesterday, Aug. 21. Quite an accomplishment, I’d say.
