Here's Helen Denny Cypher and a friend, Laverne, having lunch beside a canal in Venice. At an age when some people think they've seen everything, Helen decided to strap on her fanny pack and see the world. Since she was in her late 70s, she's visited Italy, Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, and Israel. She dropped by Alaska and Hawaii while she was at it. And she's off to Spain in May. Way to go, mother-in-law! |
