Terrie,
Thank you for the excellent resource recommendation--we will reach out to gerontology depts. at local universities in the Washington, D.C., area.
We also hope to collect stories from younger people, realizing that "aging" is a relative concept.
Perspectives from people at different stages of the lifespan would be ideal.
Regards,
Amy

One effective way to gather really compelling stories, especially about aging, is to contact an academic dept related to gerontology at a local university. For example, when I was a faculty member, I asked graduate students at the master's and PhD levels to interview individuals in retirement communities, independent living centers, assisted living centers, etc. asking what they remember most about their lives, best/most difficult times, advice to young people today, etc. The resulting stories were poignant, bittersweet, amazing and breathtaking all rolled into one.
