Hearts fly high and stories take off
at Pilot’s Lunch
Bill McDonald, a Touchmark resident
since 2004, must have inherited his
love of flying from both of his parents.
In 1928, Bill’s mother received her
pilot’s license at 18. Bill’s parents met at
the Rankin School of Flying in Portland,
Oregon, which was one of the country’s
few flight schools at the time. Bill
continued his family’s flying legacy by
flying for the U.S. Air Force and the Air
National Guard. The McDonald family
tradition of flying continues with Bill’s
grandson, who started flying at 17 and
has served four tours overseas as a
pilot.
Ever since Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927, the dream of flying has inspired
many, including some Touchmark residents. These aviators gathered for a pilot’s luncheon and
shared photos and stories of their time in the sky. Bill McDonald remarked that the afternoon was a
memorable gathering of eagles. Here are a few highlights:
In 1945, Bill Handy flew the first and only all-black
paratrooper battalion, called the Triple Nickels. He fearlessly
flew these smoke jumpers over Oregon and California so the
battalion would be well prepared for Japanese balloon bombs.
Ed Fay was a combat pilot flying B-26s during the Korean
War.

Some women also shared
stories. For example, Ginger
Elings was a pilot in the 1960s,
flying a variety of planes,
including the Piper Cherokee.
Ruth Reiserer talked about
her husband, Russell, a very
talented pilot and Double Ace
during World War II. Robbie
Peoples (pictured) talked about
her time as a “Rosie Riveter”
during World War II. Robbie
started building B-17 planes
for Lockheed when she was
just 18 years old.

Fun happenings
Resident Dean Conger introduces a photo during
the recent art reception. Dean worked as a
photojournalist for 45 years (30 were for National
Geographic). For nearly a half century, Dean
captured moments in the lives of ordinary people
around the globe. His work took him on 30 trips
to what was then the Soviet Union. Dean’s many
awards include Newspaper Photographer of the
Year three times during the 1950s, Magazine
Photographer of the Year in the 1962 Pictures of
the Year competition, and the NPPA Joseph A.
Sprague Memorial Award in 1987 for a lifetime
of outstanding work in photojournalism. Also,
Dean gave a popular presentation—Reflections of
45 Years of My Life—to a packed house. He had
residents buzzing about the history, photography,
world affairs, and more.
Wearing pink, a team gathered at Drake Park and
supported the Heaven Can Wait Run/Walk for Breast
Cancer event, which helps educate people about the
importance of early detection for breast cancer.
The community’s annual casino event is always a fun evening, with a variety of games, including Craps,
Roulette, and Black Jack. Touchmark Resident Council sponsored this much-anticipated event.

The right to
question authority
“In these chaotic times we
must move from cognitive
dissonance to inspirational
dissonance by learning
to live more deeply in the
questions, and to ask new
ones.”
– Anne Dosher, Elder of
the Ashland Institute and
International Women’s
Dialogue
The headlines alone are
enough to baffle us. Why
would someone shoot
and kill children and their
teachers? How does a citizen
feel empowered by sharing
information that could
jeopardize the well-being of
others? “Why, why, why?” No
one knows the answers, and
some debate the questions.
The question seems to be,
“Does the right to be heard
override the rights of others
to be safe?” That challenge
lies with the Supreme Court,
the Canadian Ministries,
and leaders in democratic
countries around the world.
In reality, it is important to
be heard but not necessary to
be right. That is the premise
of the constitution, the Bill
of Rights, the Canadian
provincial governance, and
other democratic bodies.
As we celebrate Canada Day
July 1 and the Fourth of July
in the USA, we set aside
personal preferences and
biases and focus on the lives
dedicated to freedom and the
rights we all hold dear.
In my interviews with
Touchmark residents, I
often pause and reflect on
the wisdom, life experience,
patriotism, and thoughtful
observations they share.
In the Lifelong Learning,
Civic Engagement, and
Legacy project offerings
of Touchmark’s Full Life
Wellness & Life Enrichment
Program, there are venues
and opportunities for
residents to participate and
share their knowledge and
opinions.
To contribute and participate
in the Full Life’s Lifelong
Learning programs, contact
Life Enrichment/Wellness
Director Angela Stewart.
Support learning over the
life span—whether there is
universal agreement or not.
Tuesday, July 23 from 4:30 to 7 pm
Residents and team members will celebrate the community’s 10th anniversary with a Caribbean
Celebration. Festivities will happen in the River Lodge parking lot and Great Room.

transportation from the Terrace Lodge will be provided from 4:30 to 5 pm with a return time of 7 pm.
