Millennium Memo As you could probably tell from the white smoke billowing over the Clubhouse, Sahara has a new Manager. Please give Sandra Mohr a warm welcome.

Sandy has lived in Sahara for the past 3 years, so you may know her already. If so, I’m sure you’re impressed with her energy, creativity and interesting background, including her experience as a film director.

Did You Know?

In June 1846, the Bear Flag Revolt took place in Sonoma, where settlers declared California an independent republic. The “Bear Flag” they raised inspired the state flag we know today. Not bad for a rebellion that lasted less than a month.

As for her goals for Sahara: “I look forward to connecting with the Community, bringing fresh ideas to the space and creating a fun, welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.” Sounds good to me!

Sandy will do a great job for you. Even so, try to go easy on her at first, at least until she has a chance to settle in. Welcome to the Millennium Family, Sandy.

If You’re Confronted by Wile E Coyote… …and you were among the 42 Saharans that attended last month’s Living Desert Lunch & Learn, you know what to do: make yourself as big as you can and yell: “Go away Coyote!” Believe it or not, coyotes understand that.

Another tip: if you’re walking with a dog, pick the dog up, so the coyote thinks the dog is part of you and you’ll appear even bigger. I hadn’t heard that one before.

Other topics included how to handle local snakes (my advice: don’t!)

Millennium Memo Continued... and what animals are found nearby. It was the last presentation Jan, the Living Desert’s Education Coordinator and a great friend of Sahara, gave before her retirement.

Thanks to Jan for so many fun seminars, and to Stacee & the folks at SPARC, our resident services partner, for sponsoring.

Your Rent Dollars at Work Last month I mentioned the $77K we spent on Sahara’s streets. Next up, I’m told: “putting a new nipple on the main water line coming into the Park.” I’ll let Tom answer any questions about that one.

Next month, I’ll report on Sahara’s Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Stay tuned!

Fun Father’s Day Memory Many years ago, my two daughters were in a school play together, so of course I wanted to attend.

When I got to the reception table, I was asked: “Do you have any reservations?” “Sure,” I replied.

“But I want to see the play anyway.”

Say hello to Sandy when you get a chance…and have a fun Father’s Day! George Turk

Manager’s Corner Hello everyone!

I’m truly excited to introduce myself as a new park manager, working alongside Tom Engel. Many of you may already know me as “Handy Sandy,” and I’m honored to now serve this wonderful community in a new way.

From the moment I stepped into Sahara Park, I felt something special. There’s a warmth here — a sense of neighbors looking out for one another, a friendliness that you don’t always find these days. My goal is simple: to help nurture that feeling, keep things running smoothly, and make our park an even more enjoyable place to live.

You can find me around the park or in the office from 9am-3:30 pm weekdays.

What’s Happening Around Palm Springs This May One of the great things about living here is that there’s always something going on nearby. May is a particularly fun time in Palm Springs — the weather is still beautiful, and the city offers a mix of relaxing and lively events.

Every Thursday evening, downtown comes alive with VillageFest, a local favorite street fair filled with artists, food vendors, music, and fresh produce. It’s a great way to spend a casual evening, meet people, and enjoy the energy of the community. Website: https://villagefest.org One of the area’s must-see attractions is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, where you can ride rotating tram cars up the mountains for breathtaking views, cooler temperatures, and scenic hiking trails. Visit: https:// pstramway.com.

And for those who enjoy something a little different, there are unique attractions like the Palm Springs Escape Room where you and a group of friends can join forces for an immersive adventure. Pull off a bank heist, help Scotland yard solve the case of Jack the Ripper, or Escape the sinking Titanic! Visit: https://escapeps.com for more information.

A Few Ways We Can Make Sahara Park Even Better Look out for one another If you notice something that doesn’t seem right, or if a neighbor might need a hand, stepping in (or letting management know) helps keep our community safe and supportive.

Be mindful of hot temperatures ahead As we get closer to summer, let’s stay hydrated, cool, and be sure to protect our pets from hot asphalt by walking them during the cool hours.

Get involved If you have ideas for small gatherings, activities, or ways to bring people together, we'd love to hear them. This is your community, and your voice matters.

Our Door is Open Please don’t hesitate to stop by the office, say hello, or introduce yourself. Whether you have a question, a suggestion, or just want to chat, I’m here.

And again — don’t forget to bring your pets. We have treats waiting!

Warmly,

Sandy 4

Previews

As another season begins to wind down, we bid farewell to our snowbirds who once again filled the valley and our park with laughter, friendship, and activity.

While many of the larger park events begin to slow as we approach the summer months, there are still plenty of opportunities to gather and socialize in our community.

Please continue to watch and join our monthly favorites including donuts, breakfasts, and lunches.

We are also hoping to continue throughout the summer with events such as Trivia & Treats, Movie Nights (or afternoons!), perhaps Bagels or Muffins to brighten up the morning, and of course, Karaoke with Jay (when he’s in town) and Linda and Karen. Keep an eye out for Pop-Up events. Think about Brain Game Wednesdays – give it a try!

Be sure to mark your 2027 calendar now, because you will not want to miss the 3rd Annual Caftan Party Saturday April 10 – always a fantastic time filled with fun, laughter and community spirit.

Looking ahead this year, plans/discussions are underway for a November Holiday Bazaar, featuring crafts, art, baked goods and much more. Residents interested in participating may reserve a table for $15 – a wonderful opportunity to showcase talents, share creations, and get a jump start on the holiday season.

As we head into the hot, dry often humid desert summer, please remember to stay cool, stay safe, and most importantly, stay hydrated. If your thirsty you may already be dehydrated.

Finally, heartfelt appreciation, THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS and RESIDENTS who continue to give their time, energy, and kindness in making this place one of the greatest places to call home. Your efforts will never go unnoticed, and they are deeply appreciated. Thank you, thank you and MUCH APPRECIATION – enjoy the journey!

Meet Your Have you met Tom True? If you have, you definitely remember him.

His colorful personality, sharp style, boisterous humor, hot cars, and Versace eyeglasses make a lasting impression. (“And they aren’t the $2.99 Versace knockoffs you get at Wal-Mart,” he said. “One guy had the nerve to ask me if they were fake. I said, Really? I have a New York accent and an attitude problem; you think I’m wearing fake glasses?”)

Tom True

Tom was born on the East Coast to a German-Irish father and a mother who was “full blooded New Jersey Italian. She was a tough cookie. We even had a butcher shop. If you needed to get rid of a body, you could call me.”

He moved west and worked in the printing industry, and met his beloved wife and best friend Linda, who lost a six-year battle with lung cancer in 2023. “She was a very smart woman, very intelligent,” he said. “I fell in love with her mind. We were two equals, and we were a team. Before she passed she told me, ‘You need to live and do all the things we planned to do together. You need to do that for me.”’

Since then, Tom has been rebuilding after his nearly twenty-year relationship with Linda, and plans to continue enjoying the single life. He has no kids and no pets, “but I walk other people’s dogs in the morning,” he said. “You want to know the truth? I hate animals.

They’re messy. But I love other people’s, that’s different. It’s like having grandkids, or nieces and nephews. I’ll babysit a dog, but do I want one? Never.”

Tom found #81 in Sahara Park last year through local friends, and has just listed it for sale to relocate to #142 a few steps away on Caravan. He divides his time between Palm Springs, Sacramento, and Loveland, Colorado, where he plans to spend the summer and relax. He enjoys dancing, visiting museums, shopping for vintage lighting and other decor treasures—“I like Revivals; it’s the best thrift shop in the world, when these gay people drop dead you get good shit”—but his true passion is classic cars.

Tom has been providing a unique service for twenty years: car “marriages”. He searches for two junked similar make and model year vintage autos, then delivers them as a package to restoration specialists: one to restore, the other to use for parts. Tom ships to customers in Europe—particularly Sweden—where the cars are rebuilt into one beautiful vehicle. “They’re being risen from the grave!” he said. “I was waiting for Jesus to do it, but he never came.”

Tom retains some of the cars as part of his personal collection, and can be seen cruising around town in his coral 1958 El Dorado convertible. Among his other “babies” are a blue and white 1960 Continental convertible, a red 1958 Edsel convertible, a black 1959 Imperial coupe, and a white 1960 Dodge Fury.

After the stress of Linda’s death, Tom is taking more time for himself, and focusing on letting go. “I’m done holding things inside,” he said. “No more holding back. I’m done.” He’s learning breathing exercises, taking Tai-Chi

Neighbor and other classes at Mizell Center, and exploring ways “to take care of yourself.”

Tom is outspoken but generally agrees with most people that Palm Springs—and Sahara Park—is a special community. “How special we are, being gay, lesbians, straight couples, what have you,” he said. “I need to be supportive to our culture whether I like it or not.”

“Life is so good—even if your car loses its brakes on The Grapevine.”

Meet Your A Sahara Park full-timer since 2014, Jeffrey Farnsworth was born and raised in Minnesota and lived in the Twin Cities from 1981 until moving to Palm Springs three decades later.

He had “a pretty idyllic childhood” growing up in Minnesota. “When school was out we would go to my grandparent’s farm while my parents, who were big Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders, would go on vacation and ride out to the Rocky Mountains and down the Mississippi River or over to Oregon,” he said. “They would go for weeks at a time, and I’d spend the summer gardening and hanging out with my grandparents. It was lots of fun. I had my own pet pig, a pet cow named Buford and I was in 4-H. My grandmother taught me how to crochet, knit, sew, cook, make jam all that practical stuff. Remember when it was called Home Economics? It was a great way to grow up. Totally wholesome.”

Jeffrey Farnsworth 275 Araby

Banking was his first career. Jeffrey started in 1978 on the teller line and worked his way up to Mergers and Acquisitions with Wells Fargo.

“Whenever we bought a bank anywhere in the country I would go in with a team and rework their systems and processes,” he explained. “It’s people that are the hardest to convert, though. If you don’t think companies have distinct cultures, try putting two of them together.”

During a mini-vacation to Palm Springs in 2012 he impulsively decided to move. “I had just retired.

It was January in Minnesota and I said, 'I’m getting out of here'. I got on a plane and came down,” he recalled. "It was beautiful in Palm Springs. I found a real estate person, went shopping around, and bought a condo. I flew the coop! My family was in shock.”

After a short pursuit of a second career as a flight attendant, Jeffrey pivoted and joined the staff at The Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage in 2014 where he worked the front desk and in Human Resources. During nine years at the hotel he met lots of famous people. “I’m not really gaga about celebrities,” he said. “All in all they are regular people, just decent folks. But the top of the heap for me was meeting Stevie Nicks. She was the sweetest thing, super nice. She and I connected on dogs—we’re both dog lovers.”

During that time a realtor friend of Jeffrey’s moved into Sahara Park. “He knew I loved it," he said.

"I was always driving through and saying, ‘I’m going to live here someday.’ One day he called me and said he was preparing to list a place, built in 1963, did I want to come look at it? I said sure, literally drove over, saw it, and bought my little coach.”

Since then Jeffrey has made a few internal and landscaping changes, but his home remains mostly the same since he moved in. A few more improvements are planned for next year, and he enjoys a lot about living in Sahara Park. “It’s the location, it’s the people, it’s the vibe of the place,” he said. “The people here, without exception, are nice, friendly, neighborly, kind folks, including the people that take care of us in the park—the crew and Tom and everyone. I’ve not met anybody that was a curmudgeon, really! I love the midcentury look, and that people also love it here and take good care of their places.”

Neighbor With no plans to retire again, Jeffrey’s hospitality experience at The Ritz applied well to tourism, his third and current career. Now Marketing and Sales Coordinator at Visit Greater Palm Springs—the official Palm Springs tourism agency—Jeffrey assists corporate clients with events and helps tourists get the most out of their Coachella Valley visit.

His full-time job in tourism means that he knows a lot of ways to have fun in Palm Springs, but Jeffrey has to prioritize his free time after a long work week and can’t often attend Park social events. “I keep to myself,” he said. “When my mom comes to town we go to places like Tropicana for dinner; we love Sunnylands. We went to see Barry Manilow.” Sometimes he attends events at Acrisure, and has a small tight group of friends, “mostly from back home”—social connections from his softball team days in Minnesota who he now plays tennis and pickleball with. “They’re kind of my posse.”

Jeffrey still knits—“I make a lot of scarves and hats,” he said. “It’s relaxing, it’s my therapy.”

“It’s a pretty darn quiet little life.”

SPARC, Inc. (Services and Programs Assisting Residents in our Community) was established in 2007 with a mission to bring valuable services, programs, and educational opportunities to residents throughout Millennium Housing communities.

Through the dedication of our fearless SPARC representative, Stacee K., residents have enjoyed many enriching programs including the always-popular presentations from the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens in Palm Desert.

Janice

Stacee

Helen

One very special part of these presentations has been Janice, whose bright personality, enthusiasm, and passion for desert wildlife have made every visit both entertaining and educational. Through her engaging talks, we have learned so much about our desert environment, its unique animals, plant species, and the importance of preserving the wildlife around us. Her warmth, humor, and genuine love for what she does have touched so many of us here in the community.

While we are sad to see Janice retire from the Living Desert, we are also excited for her as she begins this new chapter filled with well-deserved relaxation, adventure, and time to enjoy all the things retirement has to offer.

With heartfelt appreciation, we thank Janice, Helen, and Stacee for the kindness, knowledge, and joy they have brought to our community over the years. Your presentations have inspired us, educated us, and created many wonderful memories. We have learned so much, created wonderful memories, and gained a deeper appreciation for the beautiful desert world around us. Janice, you will truly be missed, and we cannot thank you enough for everything you have shared with us—Happy Retirement!!!

Five Great Things About Turning 80

by Monte Fisher The first great thing about turning 80 is simply being here now.

Many elders, peers, and younger companions have already jumped ship, leaving me mostly intact, standing on the deck, amazed by the view. ***** The second great thing is a lifetime of physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Physically, I hit the genetic lottery, fastest 50-yard dash in high school, decades of jogging in So Cal, lifelong affair with black-diamond skiing.

Thanks to abstinence from alcohol and nicotine, plus vegetarianism, meditation, and daily exercise, my body still works amazingly well.

My emotional health came from growing up queer in a straight society that denied my existence.

I intuitively learned two versions of English and became a careful observer of human psychology.

I embraced William James’ theory that I could change the world by changing my point of view.

My survival skills scaffolded my spiritual health.

By leaving the Mormon church in my youth, I replaced religious dogma with Walt Whitman’s admonition: “Reexamine all you have been told, dismiss that which insults the soul.”

Today I’m physically, emotionally, and spiritually thriving in an unfathomable universe where my super power is not knowing. ***** The third great thing about turning 80 is my family, friends, lovers.

When a queer’s biological family rejects him, he gets to adopt a chosen family. Mine is hilarious, creative, unconditional.

My 32-year marriage to my husband evolves daily with love, companionship, shared silliness.

My friendships are intimate, and include casual acquaintances who have become lifelong mentors, and fellow travelers united by surviving trauma with élan.

My list of lovers would make you blush.

Blessed with fluid orientation, I’ve enjoyed love affairs with both men and women.

I know, I was as shocked as you.

But I played the cards I was dealt.

My favorite country song is, “l’ve Always Been True to My Exes.” ***** The fourth great thing about turning 80 is a lifetime of meaningful careers, each of which I landed like a halibut hooked from an aluminum boat during a lightening storm.

Getting the job is the hardest part.

Doing the job is easy once you’re on payroll.

10

I perfected the talent of interviewing, blending just enough education, experience, and stand-up comedy to leave them not laughing but nodding with a smile.

I loved every job and every risk-taking interview that opened the doors.

After 42 years of work, I’ve been retired 15. ***** The fifth great thing about turning 80 is a lifelong love affair with creative writing.

All writing is creative writing when you can hear the author’s voice.

Including a grocery list found in Ralph’s parking lot.

I’ve laughed tears over an IKEA instructions manual.

It’s not writing that’s magic but reading. ***** When I sit at my desk, laptop open, the room settles into quiet.

It’s only me, the machine, a blank page.

Then something arrives, the muse or subconscious, clumsy names for ancient magic.

One moment I’m alone, the next, a presence leans close.

Characters appear, action happens, words predict what’s next.

A sketchy idea becomes the fragile splendor of a dandelion in a grassy field.

Each sitting reveals a destination I couldn’t predict.

Creative writing has become my purest ritual, replacing formal worship in the cathedral.

On the silent altar of language, I pay tribute to a benevolent universe of beauty and chaos.

I lay Castilian roses in quiet grace. finis

A new graphic novel is being created by our neighbor Rhonda Coleman (146 Morocco). “People ask me, what’s your novel about,” said Rhonda. “The short answer? It’s about a hot mess of a woman who takes fifty years to break up with her old self.”

Splattered is the playful, deeply human story of Sonny—a redheaded hurricane who says “yes” to everything except her own past. Always up to her elbows in a messy new creative project, she’s dragged the same paint-splattered drop cloth from project to project and decade to decade for forty-plus years. Each accidental splash illustrates a chapter in her life—from boozy college escapades and a disastrous marriage to a liberating road trip and an unexpected new love.

As Sonny ricochets through the decades, the chaotic colors on the cloth change with her. When she finally faces the trauma she’s been running from since childhood, she discovers that the sloppy pattern she made—on the fabric and in her life—was never random at all.

"Splattered" is a work of graphic fiction spanning seven volumes. Stay tuned to future issues of the Sahara Park Camelot to read excerpts and see illustrations from Volume 1, “Simply Green”, when Sonny and her best frenemy Blythe endure life in their heinous all-girl college dorm, grow from girls to not-quite-women, and Sonny survives her most embarrassing moment. Stay tuned for next month’s excerpt.

Sahara Park is bursting with talent – and we all know there are many hidden gems still waiting to share! From writer’s, poets, storytellers, and comedians to artists, painters, photographers, singers, songwriters, musicians, actors, actresses, chefs, bakers, crafters, hobbyists, and creative thinkers of every kind – our park is filled with amazing people and incredible stories.

As we head into the quieter summer months, we’d love your help keeping the magazine fun, fresh, and full of community spirit. Have a favorite recipe, funny story, travel adventure, memory, poem, artwork, photo, tip or a creative idea ? Send it to dlatini@aol.com. No experience needed – just a willingness to share a little piece of yourself with your neighbors. For heavens sake please don’t be shy…we know you’ve got something special to contribute!
