Who would have predicted that I would be penning yet another pandemic<br />
Publisher’s Note, 18 months after the world first shut down “for two weeks.” The<br />
year-and-a-half since has been challenging on so many fronts for many people –<br />
everyone has been affected in some way.<br />
A quote I heard that resonated with me is, “We are not all in the same boat, but<br />
we are all in the same storm.” I hope that your boat is keeping afloat and this<br />
storm will soon be over!<br />
A bright light is that we are back in print! We transitioned to only publishing online<br />
last year and, while I was hopeful it would be just for an issue or two, we published<br />
five issues exclusively online. Thank you to our loyal readers and advertisers who<br />
kept us going – it was our honour to continue to provide our demographic with<br />
relevant, meaningful and local content during such trying times. Be sure to check<br />
out all our past issues online at www.greybruceboomers.com.<br />

In this issue we are proud to feature a look back at stories of <strong>Grey</strong> County’s First<br />
World War veterans, courtesy of <strong>Grey</strong> Roots Museum & Archives. Online dating<br />
is a great option for those 50+, and April Taylor tells us about her experiences.<br />
Read about Saugeen Shores residents Tony and Sylvia Sheard who do amazing<br />
things with the Rotary Club locally and internationally. Finally, prepare yourself<br />
financially with Michele Mannerow’s article about planning for retirement, and<br />
learn more about the future of health care with Kylie Pike’s story that explains<br />
why now isn’t the time to reduce services<br />
Thank you for your continued support of <strong>Grey</strong>-<br />
