This small collection consists of thirteen audio cassette tapes of several programs aired between 1997 and 1999. They cover issues and subjects aimed at older people living in Florida. Most programs had a special guest who discussed a particular topic in depth with Reagan Smith and E. Bentley Lipscomb. Bob Wright, the host of "Senior Minutes" discussed his broadcasts. Angie Ferry and Dottie Silma spoke about their volunteer work with Americorp in Brevard. Tim Healy from the FBI explained his work bringing telemarketing fraudsters to justice. Robert F. Milligan, Comptroller of Florida, advised seniors how his department could help them with financial issues. Elizabeth Renn, a former legislator, was interviewed on the subject of training the medical profession to help seniors. Jerry and Lisa Klime explained the concept behind their business, the Senior Store. Dr. Joan Betts spoke about the lessons that the elderly could pass on to their grandchildren. Jim Chion of Tallahassee Radio talked about swing music. The Rev. Arthur Rushlow discussed the church's role in ageing issues. Dr. John Bland offered his opinion of how people could live an active life until one hundred and twenty years old. Dr. Neil Charness of Florida State University spoke about the effect of inadequate lighting on people over the age of forty, and Abe Asofsky, City Commissioner of Coconut Creek, was interviewed as an example of an extraordinary senior. A separate segment hosted by Mike Cutler often discussed books of particular relevance to seniors with the authors. One program had no special guest but was devoted specifically to information about osteoporosis.
