Shady Towers: A peek into the life of 300 elderly people living in a luxury retirement home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492167563)

Hal Newsom is a former writer and CEO of an advertising agency. He wrote over 2,000 ads in his 33 year existence at Cole and Weber. He has written two other books-H.O.P.E and Yellowstone Summer. H.O.P.E is a guide to help people who have been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. He has lived with the disease for 19 years and refuses to let it stop his creative mind. Yellowstone Summer is a humorous love story of how Peggy (now his wife) and Hal met while working in the park in the summer of 1950. H.O.P.E has been printed three times and total distribution around 15,000. He has first-hand experience of elderly residents in a retirement home. He now lives in a 27 story tower in downtown Seattle. A place where he thought he'd never retire. He loved skiing, hiking in the woods, climbing mountains and breathing fresh clean air. He has resigned to the memories of this charmed life and is now content to write, watch the boat activities on Puget Sound and enjoy the early morning mountain scenes in the distance.
