The sisters range in age from 70 to 102 years young. The ministry of the sisters has been primarily that of education. Each sister in the center has at least one master's degree, some more than one and others doctorates. It has long been my view that computer technology could help the sisters retain the mental acuity they worked so hard to develop as teachers. Has been seen to be true in many areas.
Technology offers a means of assisting the sisters in their continued growth.
This living space was built in the late 1950's when religious women wore habits. The sisters lived in very small quarters. The retirement center is now undergoing renovation to accommodate more personal living space and greater use of common areas. During this installation of air-conditioning units, phones in each room and general remodeling, I became interested in what was happening in technology. Since I had more experience in this area than anyone connected with the remodeling, I offered to assist with planning, ideas and training in the area of computer technology.
