Coming back to Casa means coming back to the beautiful La Jolla Shores view! Today we are doing another “life at 20” after last week’s successful intergenerational talk! First we met up in our individual HAP groups to discuss our progress. My HAP group is called “Gateway Growing”! We decided to throw a succulent party so now the most important task to get in contact with Potiker, Bayside and North Park so we can have an intergenerational program with them. After figuring out the logistics with my group, we went inside Casa (literally couple meters over from the shore view). Walking through the resident art gallery corridor is always fun since I love seeing what they have painted, photographed or sketched. We then got to talk to some of the residents WHO WERE SO COOL. Munching on my refreshments they kindly provided, some of us got to talk to a cute couple: Bill and Karin. They were both pilots who met in high-school. They flew so many celebrities (they were not allowed to say who) and even the President’s secret service members! They also founded a program in which sick kids such as those who were terminally or chronically ill were able to fly with them and learn about being a pilot and experience the control room and flying! I think that is an amazing program and their work got them recognized by President Reagan. They showed us a picture with the former president and a personal thank you note he took. I was very honored to hold the picture and relive their memories!
