Henry Winkler
Our October/November issue featured Henry Winkler.
WILD ABOUT WINKLER
Amazing article [“Henry Winkler’s 6 Lessons of Reinvention”]. I met him and his lovely family in the ’90s. As the article says, Winkler is warm, inquisitive and funny. My late husband and son both went through the challenges and discrimination of dyslexia (my husband was often placed in a corner with a “dunce” cap at school). Winkler rose to become a light to children and adults alike in the fight to deal with it and thrive—a force to be reckoned with!

Such an enjoyable article! I could’ve stopped reading after the part about his fun-filled house for grandkids (my hope one day). I was a teenager during Happy Days. To see that he has far eclipsed that and reached numerous young ones with his books makes me appreciate him all the more!

Heeeeyyy ... what a wonderful actor!
LORI E. ANDERSON
Love the Fonz, but I’m happy with his Hallmark movie!
DEB HICKMAN

DENISE WHITE
His infectious smile makes me smile.

Great advice. I’m grateful for it.

MARTHA ... STILL GOING STRONG
I was elated to see Martha Stewart featured in the latest issue [“I Work Hard Every Day”]! I admire her vitality and zest for life. And oh, wow, she is aging flawlessly. I enjoyed catching up with her!

FORK IT OVER
“Food-Delivery Frustrations” said it’s better not to get plastic utensils in the first place. Yes. But if you end up with a big batch, donate them to schools, houses of worship, homeless shelters or other organizations.

DRIVE SAFE!
The article “Driving in the Dark” rang true. I didn’t drive at night for five years because of my eyes. But I bought a new car for its new safety features. Driving home in the dark, I was so pleased. The headlights are awesome, and the brights can be set to automatically turn off for oncoming cars! On top of that, it has lane sensors and auto steering. This is great for a curvy dark road. Most new cars offer these features.

I stopped driving at night and in low visibility conditions three years ago when I was 66. In addition to aging, I have a special eye condition that has affected my night vision. Although it has curbed my social life to some degree, I’ve made peace with the decision, and if I want to do something at night, I can take an Uber. I imagine that others are in the same boat.

BUNDLE OF JOY
I loved Jaimie Seaton’s article [“The Zen of Snuggling”]! It’s heartwarming to see how babies bless and nurture us in all stages of our lives.
