The 3rd Act

Logo The 3rd Act

As the founder and creator of The 3rd Act, I have included the blogs and essays I wrote to promote our mission of positive aging
for those of us over 55.  I have reduced my active involvement in delivering services for The 3rd Act, but the work goes on with my former business partner, Patricia Cavanaugh.
