A Yankee by birth, a Midwesterner, and Southerner by heritage, Barbara Glass lived in Texas for 20 years but now calls New Jersey home. She celebrates aging by experiencing it firsthand and helping the next generation along the way, including her own children and grandchildren. “I try to bring an understanding of the aging perspective within the context of community and non-profit initiatives.” Part of this engagement is writing about aging in celebratory and thoughtful ways. “I’m living the dream by telling our stories.” As a long-time genealogy lover, she has worked on her family and friends’ history since high school.
