*****
I am deeply indebted to Drs.
Neville Strumpf and Janet Theophano, who introduced me to many of these
great literary works while I was in graduate school at the University of
Pennsylvania. Neville's class "Images of Aging in a Modern World" and Janet's
class "Food, Culture and Aging" had a particularly strong effect on my
professional development. Both women are terrific scholars and the
most dedicated and caring mentors anyone could wish for.
