I joined the team at the end of a $7 million grant for an Internet training demonstration. The demonstration was comprised of seniors and people with disabilities in 23 low-income housing facilities located in 10 northern Illinois cities. It was a two year demonstration project to “Get Seniors Online,” servicing 3,000 Chicagoland residents.

24 Sep 2019When the idea of this web page was introduced, I had a feeling a void was being filled. Kathy Raby and others could see the need. It seems to be serving well. The fast pace of the digital age is overwhelming for a lot of us and we need informed sources to go to so we are aware of things. Love it.

26 Sep 2019This looks good, Kathy. FYi– the studies were all conducted by Northeastern Illinois University, not Northwestern. RPM extracted data and compiled those reports. Did you help create some of the graphics? I don’t recall. What’re you doing with Get Seniors Online now?

29 Sep 2019Thank you Renee. I’d forgotten all the details of the work we contributed. It was certainly an interesting journey and one that not many can say they participated in with a trail blazer like Don Samuelson. Thank you for the work you provided, we could not have succeeded with out it. I’ve made the correction to the evaluation team, thank you!

29 Sep 2019Thank you so much Charles for reminding us of the importance, need and energy that this type of work satisfies. I am proud to have been a part of such a historical project and I appreciate your visual contributions. I came across a couple pieces you created for Get Seniors Online, I have posted them above. Sorry, I can’t seem to find a better copy. If you have one please share and I’ll post.
