Coronado resident Richard Williams will be featured in the January 19th episode of the new KPBS series on successful aging: Reflect. The documentary series will run for six episodes and will give a fresh and inspiring look at aging successfully. Each episode features a vibrant older adult living life by his/her own terms. Williams, 81, is an avid competitive runner and says, “I’m ignoring aging completely. I’m not admitting I’m getting older.”
Prior to the start of the broadcast, the Coronado Historical Association and KPBS San Diego will offer a sneak peak into the series at a Wine & Lecture on January 6. See the incredible resources and medical advances far ahead of the rest of the country. With four top universities, research institutes, museums, art and culture, San Diego is a great place to live actively all stages of life. KPBS Executive Producer Theresa Hoiles and other current thought leaders will speak as a panel at this CHS Wine & Lecture.
Reflect provides insight into the active and engaged world of today’s seniors who are living out loud and defying stereotypes associated with aging. Their stories unfold through interviews, day-in-the-life footage, and archival materials. Also featured are the many healthy living opportunities San Diego affords seniors, from work to play to volunteering, and everything in between. Reflect will broadcast on KPBS San Diego each Thursday from January 12 through February 16.
