Downsizing
Since we all will face issues of downsizing either while alive or after we depart this world and pass the problem on to our children, the Class hosted a Zoom session to discuss downsizing profitably or more accurately more profitably. The Zoom addressed:
- Clear-outs
- Donations
- Estate sales
- Online auctions
- Other potential venues for collections or high-dollar items
- Timing/stress/family wants & needs
- Classmate Al Swinger with wife Sandra, operated an antique business and also contributed their tips

Life Plan Communities
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) or Life Plan Communities (same concept) are emerging as a desirable option for seniors looking for both the independence they want and the care they may need. There are approximately 2,000 CCRCs in the U.S., and that number is expected to continue to increase as the population ages. These communities provide a continuum of care that adapts to the evolving needs of aging people.
Click HERE for information from Classmate, Andrea Simonpietri, who spent several years visiting numerous Life Plan Communities/CCRCs in anticipation of downsizing and simplifying life. This page includes (1) a brief summarizing his experiences; (2) Zoom recording of ’66 Classmates who met to discuss their questions about Life Plan Communities; (3) other resources.
