Ida might absorb been our very first volunteer. I think she was 76 when she started volunteering with us. She adopted six grandmas in our Adopt a Grandparent Program. She was older than all of them. One of the ladies she adopted hadn't spoken since she was 18 years old. Ida came by the office one day so excited to narrate me she had found a way to communicate with her novel friend - one blink for 'yes', two blinks for 'no'.
