     My increasing encounters with medical personnel, family members, friends and other folks who seem not to care and are annoyed with those of us who are aging or getting old, concerns me. The slower pace, hearing loss, and short-term memory comes with aging and getting old. Our longevity and seniority have earned us more respect than this.

     “Today’s comments from Donald Trump about cutting Social Security and Medicare show once again why Joe Biden is the right choice for working families. Joe Biden believes that all people deserve to retire with dignity, and he continues to block any attempt to undermine our hard-earned retirement benefits. With Biden in office, working people can rest assured that Social Security and Medicare will never be on the chopping block.”

   It is with profound sadness that I convey the news of the passing of our esteemed 30th Grand Basileus, Brother Dr. Edward J. Braynon Jr. He peacefully entered Omega Chapter today, February 25, 2024, at the age of 96. His departure leaves a void in our hearts, yet his legacy will forever illuminate our path.
