A Late Date: Finding Love in Cyberspace

In response to Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation, Anne Thurston, one of his WWII wives, tells the story of the new frontier her generation is exploring today as they plunge into unexpected longevity. Like their ancestors who invaded America's West back in the 1800s, they are penetrating cyberspace to discover end-of-life adventure, love, and laughter. Not a historical and brave man but rather as a woman, she has plunged into the unknown world of online dating all because of a promise she made with her husband as he laid dying of Alzheimer's. She was to seek an end-of-life companion. The promise allowed him to leave with a smile. With all of society's terrifying consequences flung in her face, Anne thumbed her nose and took off. Not a liar, her story is beyond belief, true as it is. All of us have those years waiting for us down the road. Take a peek at them with Anne.
