In the November 25 Boomer Generation Radio, Rabbi Address welcomes Cordelia Frances Biddle, an independent scholar, novelist and direct descendent of Francis Martin Drexel, grandfather of Saint Katharine Drexel, and of Nicholas Biddle, president of the Second Bank of the United States. Her new book, Saint Katharine: The Life of Katharine Drexel, is the story of a remarkable woman who rebelled against family, friends, and the luxuries of the Edwardian Age, and who risked her life aiding and educating the poorest of the poor.
In the second half of the program, Dr. Jennifer Campbell, principal of Campbell Collaboratives and a program evaluator at Grants in Aging, and Lindsay Goldman, Project Director for Age-friendly NYC, a public/private initiative to improve the quality of life for older adults in NYC through changes to policies, practices and programs, discuss what happens to older adults with mobility issues in natural disaster situations.
