Tai chi adds peace to center
The road of life is often paved with some unique and illuminating experiences. Take, for example, what happened three decades ago when a one-time Edison accountant named Sharon met a Harvard graduate and former UCLA math professor named C.C., while at a tai chi studio in Venice. At the time, Sharon, a divorcee, was in dire search of answers. Among her questions: what's the meaning of life, and can tai chi help me find inner ...

One of the few, grandma of many
At 90 years old, Bobby Stone has a lot of memories. Pictures of family - many generations' worth - line the walls of her modest Saugus home. Among the photos are drawings and models of World War II fighter planes, reminding Stone of a time when she was one of the few female Marines serving her country. It was 1942, and Stone was 20 years old, working as a dispatcher for a railroad company in ...

That's because guests were largely comprised of members from the Old Newhall Tennis Club. Approximately 30 members surrounded Jace and Jorgenson as they cut into a tennis-themed cake after a vigorous game on the court. "These guys are great," Jace said, grinning as he received handshakes and pats on the back. "We ...
