You remember Jan Curran. She was the talented, gregarious society editor of The Desert Sun during the 1990s.
Curran is a mere 72, yet but a kid in the geriatric set. She has moved into a retirement complex in Ventura because of health issues and a need for its security.
But her power of observation, her acute absorption of impressions, keep working like a camcorder. Other residents, though 10 to 20 years her senior, have become her extended family.
The upshot is Curran's recently published book, “Active Senior Living,” an inside look at a retirement facility and its people. The book is funny, touching and informative. You can purchase the book through Amazon.com or Lulu.com

It's amazing how Jan still has a sharp memory at 70. Her mind must have been very active back when she worked as an editor. Hope Jan writes more books on assisted living.
