Recent reader comments…
…you give me hope, at least there are a few of your kind left. Carol A. Gilbert
Thank you for your continuing courageous coverage of the Social Security “reform” swindle the Bush administration is trying to pawn off on Americans, both young and old. Claude M. Gruener, Austin Ink
I have just been a subscriber for a few days now but it seems to me you are doing a great service to a great many seniors. I have already received more information from your newsletter than from any other single source. Keep up the good work of keeping us all informed so we can at least have a better chance of making the right decision at the right time for the right reasons. Bob Hudspeth, Cahokia, Illinois
Now this wonderful article comes along … and it’s all clear, easy to read and understand … even my brain feels relaxed now. Your writing this article on the Drug Plan is like therapy to me. No kidding you touched all bases as you rounded them because you hit a home run with this one baby!! Thank you ….you are a real friend. Dean Mattila
Thank you for your bravery in the face of what is going on in our land. Abe Amchin
I so admire your advocacy and dedication. Your newsletters are wonderful because they look at all aspects of aging; really convey your commitment to seeing seniors as whole people. The other reason you are so successful is because you represent yourselves as regular people, nor do you print outside “expert” clinical opinions. Jeanne Naft, Director, Brandywine Nursing Home, Briarcliff Manor, NY
Thanks for keeping us seniors up to date and informed on the latest issues. Al Legg
Do you realize how much we Suddenly Seniors depend on all of the “hard work” you do? It is so reassuring to have someone acknowledge “us” so quickly and help us with the things that are “SO” important to us. Daisy Starks
I’ve never been so pleased with any other site than I have been with the “Suddenly Seniors” update weekly or daily. The jokes, news, and other happenings are without price. I hope I never have to do without it. Betty Rembosky
Thanks for your vigilance. I enjoy your newsletters immensely and have recommended it to others! Jean Anderson
You’re a great messenger and even when I don’t agree you have a great column with loads of info. Marlene Bedford
You do great work. Don’t ever let anyone dissuade you from doing so! Dave Schreffler
Thank you so much for taking the time to share both sides. I find it impossible to make an informed decision when only one side is available. I know some people like only one side, but then again they’re lazy. Keep up the excellent work. Mike McVicker
Another hard-hitting editorial that leaps off the page from the word processor. Keep it up. John King
Thanks for your response. Your website is always refreshing and a great gathering place for we who are truly suddenly senior. I’m still a 40-year-old airline pilot (In my mind) although the body I live in is about is about to turn 70. Thanks again. Harv LaFollette
You help me all the time, as my continuing inspiration. Peggy Fisher, columnist “Seaside Scoop” Vero Beach FL
The work you do is very important, and I think more significant than you imagine in terms of helping seniors make sense of the world. I think reframed sensibilities for the average person that you shape is the key to getting things back on track. It is the lens through which they make their political choices. Michael Dougherty
Thanks for all the great info, you have kept me more informed about the debate than ever before. Tareek Jones
That is one of the most important articles you have ever done! You make things a lot more clear than we get on daily newscasts. Faythe Dick
How much clearer could you be? I loved your essay and the fire and passion you put into it. What a colorful use of words and images! You got my attention and, I hope, many thousands more. Lee Hogan
