Dr. Ludwig Otto PRESENTS " Old Folks Are The Future"

Old Folks are the Future (Presented by Dr. Otto at conference)

Old Folks are the Future started on a cruise out of Barcelona, Spain.  Our travel agency had won free tickets for both the cruise and airfare.  We were leaving the French Riviera and heading to Monaco when romantic Maxine wanted to know why I kept singing “We Real Cool” and I told her about Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks, who was from the Southside of Chicago.

 “Well, if she can send poor students to Europe when they graduate from High School, then why don’t we provide a place where old folks can share their experiences with others.”  Her logic is beyond dispute!

 So, when we got home, I asked some of our friends, who are old folks, if they knew of any ministries that were devoted to old folks: they said “NO.”

 There are lots of old folks and some of them really need some good news, and that’s how Old Folks are the Future got started.

 Maxine retired from Arlington Memorial Hospital at 65 and is now 80.  I retired from Tarrant County College on August 31, 2015.  I was 81 (We’ve been married 30 years).

 We are both energetic seniors who have experienced much of the world and believe that Old Folks want to help their church grow.

 Sincerely

 Dr. Ludwig Otto
