I have just completed a major study regarding communication, and now I wish to share that knowledge with my fellow members of PIEN, one of the best sources of support and information. As we get older we seem to have vision problems making reading a difficult activity. Hence long articles with little separation of space, is of limited value to many older folks, who then discontinue reading. In addition, small type is also a turn off to many. Over 50 years ago, while working as a Probation Officer doing Criminal Investigation and Sentence Reports, I would write 4 or 5 pages to our Judges. Our Chief called me in and comments on all the information provided in my documentations, then asked me "how much time did I think Judges had to read each and every "missive?" He suggested that I follow the rules of Journalism: Who, What, When, Where, and Why, and maybe How. You might have noticed I did not add information on other physical symptoms, of which are many.
