Lancaster (Pa.) Mennonite High School junior Addison Haller, left, interviews Landis Homes resident Austin Hess in December 2007. About 20 LMHS students had a chance to visit and interview Landis Homes residents and learn how events such as the Great Depression and World War II affected them. Landis Homes director of activities Marva Godin said it was a positive experience for the residents. The visit also gave insight into what it is like to live in a retirement community.—LMS
