KristenMeyer / Tuesday, February 14, 2023 / Categories: Uncategorized, Ferris Hills Events, Senior Living Community Events, Ferris Hills Blog Life-long Learning at Ferris Hills John & Dolores Granito, active members of the Ferris Hills community The erudite population at Ferris Hills consists of life-long learners and educators. They do this with so much style and fun. John and Dolores Granito have been here about a year and have jumped right into life in a vibrant senior community. Together, they have shared with us their wedding anniversary, celebrating 60 years. We all enjoyed seeing pictures of them in their younger years and hearing their love story. We imbibed with champagne, wine, and a celebratory cake. Cheers to the happy couple! Sharing these life events brings us all closer together. They also helped plan a themed event honoring the history of the Titanic with a lecture followed by an evening in the dining room enjoying food selected from an authentic menu found on the Titanic. Today, John, with the assistance of his wife (the power point aficionado), presented “Whatever Happened to Amelia Earhart?” America’s longest running mystery question and conspiracy theory 1937 – Today. It was a packed house for John’s presentation. He had an interesting timeline of Amelia’s life along with a list of key persons related to Amelia’s desire to circumvent the globe. He set the stage for conspiracy theories and thoughtful historical recollection. The plot thickens as we await Part 2 coming this Thursday.
