As most of us here at Pine Run are between 65 and Death, I offer these words to live by written by someone else. They appeared in Harry Newton’s daily blog called in “Search of the Perfect Investment”. In these days of fighting political parties, threats of war, guns in schools and all other horrors, I found it calming and insightful. I hope you will also. Let’s be good to ourselves as well others. (Editor’s note: This is a very abridged version of the original article.)

Shirley Wunsch and her husband Al, sitting on a custom “Eagles Helmet Golf Car”. This picture was taken outside their Golf Car business in the late 70’s. Shirley has been a Philadelphia Eagles fan for quite some time. She attended Super Bowl XV in New Orleans, January 1981, when the Eagles lost to the Oakland Raiders. Tickets for the Super Bowl in 1981 were $40.00.

Shirley waited 24 more years to watch Super Bowl XXXIX in Sydney, Australia when again her beloved Eagles lost to the New England Patriots in 2005. She will be rooting on her Eagles once more 13 years later during Super Bowl LII when they square off against the Patriots again. This time, hopefully, she will witness history being made from the comfort of her Pine Run apartment as the Philadelphia Eagles BEAT the New England Patriots!

We know a wonderful, loving, special man, who puts the needs of others before himself. That round container that collects food for the less fortunate in this community (it’s across from the concierge desk) is taken weekly to the Baptist Church Food Larder on Butler Avenue, New Britain, by our Villager of the Month of February, Bill Kurz. He has been doing this for 15 years!

Bill likes Pine Run for its food both in the Cafe and at The Cottonwood. He loves looking out on Green Road, experiencing nature: the birds, deer, the lovely view and beautiful woods. We wish him many more happy and healthy years at Pine Run.
