Celebrating Individuality

Sandra Carol Eagle – A Crossroads’ Stargazer

Resident Sandra Eagle born Sandra Carol Corona in Thorton-Surry Heath, England on September 10, 1945, has always loved Stars … the Hollywood kind. Having collected enough original Hollywood autographs to fill two entire walls in her Tucson home with husband Roger Eagle, it’s safe to say Sandra is an expert. However, to begin her story…

Sandra’s parents met and married in England where her Father, a native Tucsonan, was stationed in the military. When she was six months old Sandra, her Mother, and 18,000 other war brides returned to the United States aboard the famous Queen Mary.

“You Should Have Seen Me Then!” – The Insides of Aging

Several days ago, during a conversation with Bonnie and Tom Fatato, owners of Crossroads Adult Care Homes, I asked “After 19 years in the Care Home Industry…what would you say has been your greatest gift?”

After a slight hesitation, Tom Fatato replied, “Getting to see…inside our Residents.”  We then had a really nice discussion about aging – how we in our culture tend to avoid wanting to touch or truly “see” the insides of aging.
