Please feel free to send in your thoughts about senior care and living.

"...I am in my fifties, your target audience, and think your idea has merit. My interest in working to develop such an idea is very limited at this time, but I wonder how things will happen as age and care become more and more significant to myself and many others. I can only imagine it would be a great comfort to have aging Baba lovers together as their care needs increase. If it became a reality for me, it sounds much, much better than generic alternatives. It sounds like a huge project to engineer and will take many to make such a thing happen. Being near the Center at Myrtle Beach sounds like the best location to me being near Baba's home in the west..."

"...I'm so glad that you have brought this topic to everyone's attention. I, too, have thought about it from time to time, never knowing exactly where to start. I'm sure you'll find that there are many people who have an interest in at least beginning a discussion addressing all the possibilities involved. Please include me as one of those people. I feel this could be a wonderful thing for our community, albeit a long and potentially difficult project to undertake ... and frankly, I'm not sure what, if any, skills I could bring to such an effort. Nevertheless, I am interested in further information if others also wish to keep this idea alive."

"...Hi and thank you for opening this important issue. I am interested and delighted to hear of the idea, also appreciative that the input of people who would be users of it is being sought at the beginning. I'm not quite ready to retire, but plan to do so within a year or two. "

"...our youngest child (is) graduating high school next May. After that, my wife and I hope to move back to the Myrtle Beach area, with the intent of probably staying there indefinitely and becoming involved in the Center and the Baba community... When I mentioned this plan to XXXX on our last visit, she remarked that a few other couples also recently had returned or were planning to return to the area... So maybe the idea has been building among us baby-boomers for a while. Bottom line, then, is that we will be interested in that kind of pooling of resources and hope to be among a "seed population" before and while such a project would be getting underway."

"...I feel like Myrtle Beach seems like the most likely place to start one place. Later perhaps LA and other smaller centers may spring up. So many people go to M Beach as their retreat center pilgrimage. There are many people living around the Center who could be helpful and even volunteer there, if the building is found/built!..."
