Grandma

Greg & 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 suddenly found herself gracing covers of magazines like Senior News and NonProfit Times. The books based on Greg's story focus a great deal on 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 extensively with older adults (e.g. residents in 55+, 62+, retirement & assisted living communities; Foster Grandparents; RSVP programs), staff who serve seniors, and intergenerational programs. In some cases, groups that support seniors have ordered the books for local students who volunteer with them. Greg has spoken at many events for older adults &/or those who serve older adults. In some cases, he has served as 'Grandkid-in-Residence' at a retirement community. To read about Greg's efforts to support seniors during the pandemic: www.worldsgreatestgrandma.com/pandemic
