I go to aerobics three times a week and volunteer in a thrift shop two mornings each week. I also volunteer at the tourist bureau in downtown Seattle once a week, answering phones and talking with tourists. I belong to two book review groups, attend AAUW meetings once a month, and have been on the Salvation Army Board for the William Booth Center, where I help do physicals on alcoholic men who come in. I'm also active in the UW retirement association. Recently I signed up for a creative writing class, and I'm learning to use the computer. I am a '43 graduate of the BSN program and our class has a reunion every year. I've noticed that I walk better than all the others, and think it must be the aerobics."
