Field Notes Day 1 dcook

My first experience at the Due West Retirement Center consisted mainly of walking through the entire facility. By walking through I was able to become awafre of the type of enviroment that the Due West Retirement Center possesses. My "tour guide" led me through the halls and introduced me to some very interesting characters. I met one man who was a world war 2 veteran, and another woman who was involved in newspapers and even taught for a short time in Egypt. I soon realized that any preconceived notions I might have had about working and spending time at the center might soon be put to the test as the first two people i met had led interestng lives prior to their stay at the center itself. These were two of my more memorable encounters and after that I did not remember many more faces but I am sure that on my next visit things wil become considerably more interesing.
