I never learned to swim as a kid and don't know what scared me more--possibily drowning or wetting my hair (not unusual for those of us with kinky hair). But determined, at 71, to be competent in the water. I'm taking lessons, growing in confidence and finding that indeed we are never too old to take on new challenges while also having fun. <br /> Your insight into volunteering was echoed by 2 women on a panel of female Trailblazers honored at the University of Akron (Ohio) last week. Banker, Louise Gissendaner and workforce diversity executive, TyKiah Wright (www.wrightchoice.org)both cited non profit organizations as places always grateful for volunteers. These successful females also made the point that in addition to doing good, volunteering is a a chance to network and quite often leads to paid employment. <br /> So, thanks, Ethel, for always being topical AND inspiring.
