. . . where seniors are celebrated and celebrities ignored.
"Occasional" instead of "monthly" publication for Eldercountry has turned out to be very occasional indeed this year, with only two issues in 2011. Downsizing and moving has turned out to be a time-consuming and extended project for the Editor and Essayist. Still, the effort had to be made to celebrate in the Spotlight a senior exercising an extraordinary talent in his second career.
Eldercountry may not continue after this issue, but, just in case, if you are not on our e-mail list and would like to receive a notice if and when a new issue comes online, please click on jan@Eldercountry.com.

FRANK McPHERSON
After a successful career in computers,
Frank is successful as a wood sculptor.
Frank McPherson can look at a piece of decaying wood and see a work of art in the making. Frank’s wood sculptures fill the studio behind his house in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife Mary Ann. Frank's first job after college was with a company that developed commercially the world's first general purpose electronic computer. Later, he and three colleages formed their own computer company, but, Frank says, "Having accomplished everything I ever dreamed of (and a little more)," he retired at 50 from the computer industry, to begin working in wood. He received professional training and embarked on a career as a sculptor. At 80 he is still at it.

Politicking pastors are taunting the I.R.S. to try to take away their federal tax exemption. Critics of the pastors are impatient with the I.R.S., too. Eventually, one side may wish it had been more careful about what it wished for.
