ate meaningful connections
with others of different ages
and life stages?
“Aging is a life-long
experience that is both
universal and different
for everyone,” according
to the Conversation Proj-
ect’s program explanation.
“While people of different
generations have wisdom to
offer those who are ahead
of or behind them in life’s
journey, barriers to connec-
tion often persist between
generations. Many of these
barriers are rooted in our
ideas about age and aging.”
Sasser is an educational
gerontologist, transdisci-
plinary scholar and commu-
nity activist. She has worked
in the field of gerontology
for more than half her life,
beginning as a nursing
assistant and aging advocate
before focusing on research,
writing and teaching.
Dreyfuss is a writer and
independent interdisciplin-
ary scholar. His undergrad-
uate studies were in the
interdisciplinary liberal arts
with concentrations in writ-
ing, literature, anthropology
and philosophy. His gradu-
ate work was in English and
creative writing.
Cabaret-style concert
slated in Long Beach
Peninsula Arts
Center hosts blues
man Albert Reda
LONG BEACH, Wash. — Au-
diences at the Peninsula
Arts Center may be familiar
with Albert Reda from his
appearances as bass play-
er and vocalist with blues
guitarist Terry Robb. This
time, however, Reda will be
doing a solo show on piano,
showcasing old favorites,
some originals, audience
requests, and a chance for
some dancing. This caba-
ret-style piano and vocal
show will take place at 7
p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5.
Reda has been in the
heart of West Coast music
for 40 years. Beginning in
1977, and throughout most
of 1978, Reda performed
regularly in San Francisco
music and comedy clubs
with Donald Freda as the
duo Reda and Freda. During
this time, they opened for
or shared the bill with many
comics, including a young
Robin Williams and Dana
Carvey.
In 1979, Reda joined
the seminal West Coast
punk band Mutants, and
beginning in 1980 began
performing regularly in the
traveling oldies act Cruisin’,
playing the bass, piano and
singing. This band would
play a “History of Rock &
Roll” type show in clubs in
the Bay Area. When they
weren’t performing in the
Bay Area, Cruisin’ could be
found traveling throughout
northern California on oldies
tours with Wolfman Jack
and backing up groups like
the Drifters and the Coast-
ers.
In 1988, Reda moved to
Portland and for the past
25 years has been playing
with Northwest blues artists
