SAY HI TO SHIRLEY WAYTINA - AGE 92!

Nonagenarians have taken on a new meaning now that many of my esteemed friends are

Shirley Waytina

age 90 or above. Better yet, many seniors continue to live independently, many in Senior Housing. This is the case of Shirley Waytina, a long time employee of Frank Cooke, Inc. in North Brookfield, Mass.


Our wonderful visit allowed both of us to talk about the good old days, family and friends. For 48 years Mrs. Waytina served as Executive Secretary, Shirley is mother if Jean who lives in Florida and is widow to Stanley Waytina. But her time with Cooke Optical is far reaching.


Not only for the Cooke Optical Enterprise,  Shirley Wayina kept the books for the Cooke Real Estate Enterprise but for the Vintage Garage where antique American Rolls Royce were repaired! "Mr. Cooke was a brilliant mind enjoying the Works of William Shakespeare and Lord Byron."


Shirley Waytina is a lady of integrity She believes in the Golden Rule! I have known Shirley since 1962 and like her style. She still calls me "Bobby" and our August visit tells me Shirley will live beyond age 100! The one caveat of most folks over 90 is the nemesis ARTHRITIS. Shirley takes Tylenol + Most importantly  has a winning smile. Keep going Shirley, my dear friend!
