The Sages of Oak Place on Another View

another view square

This edition of Another View is for everyone- for those age 65 and older and for those who one day will join the senior crowd. What kind of senior are you- or who do you aspire to become? Are you a traveler, life-long learner, engaged with young people, determined to live life to the fullest? Or, are you lonely, full of regrets, mad at physical ailments, and scared of dying? This Another View program focuses on the challenges and the joys of growing older with grace. Retired nurse, educator, and current author Dr. Carolyn Stegman is the featured guest. She's written three books, including the latest, "The Sages of Oak Place," a novel about the reframing of aging in a community where elders live fully in an atmosphere that values their often unsung yet extraordinary lives. This, and all Another View programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
