The Ageless Woman - Florence Klein - Mar 09,2009 | “Traveling across the country, I have listened to many seniors express frustrations with the Internet and with scams targeting seniors. Hoping to empower more seniors to communicate and interact more effectively in today’s highly technical world, I envisioned a company that would serve the everyday needs of the ever-growing group of seniors, as well as protect them from scams. So, I reached out to the professionals in the areas of healthcare, finance, retirement living, and entertainment, with the idea of creating an ultimate resource guide for seniors. Receiving an enthusiastic reception and offers to help from across the globe, I formed a core group to transform this vision into reality. In this way, we created a trusted, on-line resource for persons over 55 years: MySeniors/Silver Planet!” says Florence Klein. | 3/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
