Question: What’s something you’re really good at that you’re proud of?
Answer: “I guess, bookkeeping. I became a CPA (certified public accountant) and did it for fifty years. I never got referred to the State Board of Accountancy for anything. I spent eight years as St. Louis County auditor, and I was doing personal income tax preparation on the side. And generally speaking, I really have very little I regret not being able to do. Maybe since wife died, I think maybe I should have talked to her a little bit more just to see if there was something that she would have liked to do that we just never got around to doing. We never traveled much because she didn’t really like it. And we had four kids, so it was pretty tough to get away sometimes. But we did buy a motor home and went in that motor home all over from here to Denver and all over. We went to Florida once or twice. That was something.” – Ed Knaus, resident Friendship Village Sunset Hills

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!
