Exhibit at the Summit – honoring residents

“The Faces of The Summit” features more than 20 portraits of residents at The Summit at First Hill retirement home. The photographs are accompanied by the subjects’ reflections on aging and other experiences. (Ken Lambert/The Seattle Times)

By Nicole Brodeur in the Seattle Times: “We don’t know how good we have it with our cellphones and bike shares. Our labor laws and dating apps. Our good hips and sharp eyes. And yet, the residents of The Summit at First Hill retirement home wouldn’t trade their lives for any of those things. That would mean losing their own stories and memories, things they have not only lived, but lived to tell.

That’s the take-away from “The Faces of The Summit,” a photo exhibit that captures the faces and words of more than 20 residents ranging in age from 85 to 102. The exhibit is hanging in a horseshoe of hallways on the home’s first floor and is open to the public. There’s no plan to take it down.”

    So… what a great idea for Skyline to duplicate! Maybe something the Terraces can take on. WE certainly have enough seniors who warrant being held up and their stories told for all to see!
