It's about us being able to envision 7 Billion Well. From the bottom to the top, we can make a difference in the lives of every person.

This is because WE can make a real impact in each others' lives regardless of distance now more than ever before in our history. Rosalind Picard.

Thomas (physician) Born in Tioga County, Thomas wrote of his childhood in Nichols, N.Y, “I was surrounded by older relatives since the day I was born and thought of my grandmother's house as an extension, for a lack of a better word, of my own.

I think that the most important thing I learned was that older relatives were valuable and esteemed members of the extended family. In fact, they were the glue that held the family together.”[3] In 2008, The Wall Street Journal named Thomas among the 12 most influential Americans shaping aging in the 21st Century[4] U.S.

News and World Report described Thomas as a revolutionary, “With his startling common-sense ideas and his ability to persuade others to take a risk, this creative and wildly exuberant 46-year-old country doctor has become something of a culture changer--reimagining how Americans will approach aging in the 21st century. And with 35 million Americans over 65--a number that will double by 2030--that takes a big imagination indeed.”[5] [16]==Books== Aging Mattters - Jun 1 2011 - TEDxSF: The Second Crucible (Build 20110413222027) 5 (Easy!)
