I am empowered knowing age does not limit our creativity. James Arruda Henry learned to read and write in his mid-nineties. He didn’t stop there but went on to write a book: In a Fisherman’s Language.
As a gerontological nurse practitioner and woman of a certain age I am delighted to promote his story.
