Wise, witty and one-of-a-kind

2009 December 16
by Geri


FOF wisdom will go down in history.  The things we do, the statements we make, the way we feel.

“When I was 15, I was lucky enough to be chosen to represent American Youth for UNICEF and I met Eleanor Roosevelt.Eleanor_Roosevelt_ I remember thinking, oh my goodness, she’s beautiful. She had a lovely smile. She was so smart. She asked great questions.  I heard her speak.” Georgia Witkin, PhD, author, therapist, TV personality, NYC

“I lead a 1,400 employee organization. I am the oldest person at work, and I can keep up with them! I also think my memory, “chic-ness” and experience are varied and fun enough to continue to lead and teach. I am 68 years old and proud of it.” Dr. Vivian Baker, Superintendent of Schools, ISD, Belton, TX

“At 50 I survived Ovarian Cancer; at 52, I became a registered yoga teacher and opened my own studio; at 54 I married my college sweetheart; at 57, I produced a DVD “Gentle Yoga for Cancer Patients” with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

I’m a ballroom dance champion and a journalist. By the grace of God, I’m pretty Fab.” Lynn Felder, Winston-Salem, NC

“My mother. Carolyn, has been Fab Over Fifty for years (she will be 81 on December 15!  She led us by example (me and my four sisters) to live an ageless life.  We celebrate the accomplishments of one another and nurture and praise every child in our families.” Debbie Cannon

Every day, I am more and more thrilled to be giving voice to the greatest women in the world. www.faboverfifty.com will be for each and every one of us. I can’t wait until we get started.

Yours truly, Geri Brin
