Question: Why did you travel to Colorado so often and what did you enjoy about it?
Answer: My wife had an excellent position where she traveled a lot and I got to travel with her, so it was her work and my vacation. It was usually Pueblo in Colorado, which was her place of operation, so we would always travel within one to two hundred miles of there. She would have to visit clientele, so I’d rent the cheapest car I could find and take off. I went to the dunes, through the Monte Cristo Mountains, prospectors’ trails; and I really enjoyed it. To me, just to get out in the mountains for the day was great. I’d get up and go out in the morning and some of the valleys I’d see were just beautiful. Everything you see out there is so different compared to the Midwest. I think I enjoyed it so much because I worked in oil exploration, which is a stressful business. There’s a lot of money on the line and there’s a lot of pressure getting things done because time is money. So, it was great to kind of get those periods of time where you could just walk out and not think about anything else. That to me is satisfying. – Bob Connor, resident Friendship Village Chesterfield

The above photo and text are part of a year-long project we call We Are Friendship Village. We are posting these photos and brief interviews to our website’s blog section every day as we talk with residents at Friendship Village Chesterfield and Friendship Village Sunset Hills. The idea is to give a short introduction to the residents who make up our wonderful senior living communities and give you a peek at something you might not know about them!
After a year of gathering interviews and photos, we will publish A BOOK featuring all the great residents who participated. AND PARTICIPANTS get A FREE COPY OF THE BOOK! During this year, we will also be sharing these photos and stories on Facebook and other social media such as Instagram, so look for them and please follow the hashtag #WeAreFriendshipVillage to stay current with the project!
We think it’s a great chance to share a bit about who we are! Residents’ participation takes less than ten minutes, so it won’t take much time to be a part of it and we think everyone will enjoy getting to know their neighbors and friends a little bit better!
If interested in participating (or know someone else who might be), feel free to give us a call at (314) 270-7837 or email at nagysteve@fvstl.com or drop by the marketing suites in Sunset Hills or Chesterfield. We have 365 of these to do over the course of the year, so everyone is welcome!
We look forward to seeing you as we get to share insights about the senior living residents who are making our Friendship Village retirement communities so great!
Thanks again!
