Grandma

Picture
Greg and his Grandma were best friends. As more people took notice of his civic efforts, they also noticed her influence on him. In the last decade of her life, Grandma found herself gracing covers of magazines like Senior News and NonProfit Times. The books based on Greg's story highlight his Grandma's efforts to mentor him. One of the books (The Silhouette Man) was honored in Canada as a book that celebrates the wisdom of seniors. The books have been used with older adults (e.g. residents in 55+, 62+, retirement & assisted living communities; Foster Grandparent / Senior Companion / RSVP programs), staff who serve seniors, adults and youth who volunteer with seniors, and intergenerational programs. Greg has spoken at many events for older adults and/or those who serve older adults. He has served as 'Grandkid-in-Residence' for several retirement communities. For more on his connection to seniors, visit www.worldsgreatestgrandma.com
