View this slideshow to get an idea of the very start of Wolf Creek Lodge senior cohousing. It has taken a long time to get this project off the ground and now that it is, is is fun to look back a little bit at the process and the fun that happened when it first started.

Here is what Cheryl Noble, producer of the local, award winning program “Cafe Community” wrote to WCL members Dick Shannon and Magdalene Jaeckle after their appearance on the show:
