Loving and Learning: At the Conference on Aging at the University of Michigan earlier this week the seniors and the children in Carol Tice's Pittsfield Elementary School art program did their thing completely undistracted by the hubbub around them. In photo at left, senior citizens Albert Thompsen, left, and GIlbert Pitts, far right, do woodworking with students Tim Zeigler, Greg Turner and Kevin Patterson. Below, student Bernice Reddie and senior citizen Bernadine Wimpee work with yarn in a little world of their own. Some 35 senior citizens came to Pittsfield School twice a week last year to work with the children. This year, says Mrs. Tice, the seniors can hardly wait to get started and the kids came to school the first day asking, "When are the seniors coming?"
