y anticipation for the arrival of the fall season is growing by the minute. Fall has always been my favorite time of the year because of the bright foliage and crispness in the air. But I can never seem to enjoy it long enough. I think poor planning is the problem; however, this year will be different. I am going to take advantage of seeing the beauty of fall before time runs out, and you should too — if you love the season like I do. You could book a trip to one of the New England states for a fall foliage tour (see page 28 for some travel tips) or explore some of the more popular spots closer to home. I found out about a few fun places you might want to visit if you’d prefer to take a short road trip. • Bernheim Forest offers a variety of tours and educational programs for people who appreciate nature and want to gain a better understanding of the environment. You can hike, take a bike trail ride, or participate in the • O.W.L.S. (Outdoor Adventures for Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors) on the first Wednesday of each month. > bernheim.org • Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards: If you have grandchildren, you can take them on one of Huber’s walking tours, take a hayride, or pick pumpkins. > huberwinery.com • Brown County, Ind.: Choose from outdoor adventures such as canoeing and horseback riding or take in all of the fall beauty at Brown County State Park. There are nearly 20 miles of tree-lined roads, campgrounds, and accommodations. > browncounty.com • The Overlook Restaurant: Located in Leavenworth, Ind., you can eat dinner with friends while enjoying a view of the Ohio River and wooded hills of Indiana. > theoverlook.com

There are plenty of ways for you to get the most out of this season, so pack your bags and let your fall adventure begin!

In honor of Veterans Day on November 11, Three local veterans share lessons learned and triumphs earned during their military service By Yelena Sapin

Photos Melissa Donald

GEORGE MERZ, JR. Military History

Background

Age 88, retired from the Reynolds Metals Co.

US Army MP during WWII. Took part in the Normandy Invasion at Omaha Beach and in the Battle of the Bulge. Awarded five Bronze Battle Stars and a Bronze Star Medal.

How did you get into service?

I knew I would be drafted as soon as I turned 18, so I got my parents to sign the papers when I was 17 — that was in 1942 — and tried to enlist in the Air Force. Back in those days, the honorable thing to do was to sign up and get into service. I wanted to become a fighter pilot and went to take the test for pilot’s training. I had to get at least a 70 on it, but I got a 69, so I didn’t make it. And then I was drafted and assigned to an Army Military Police unit. 14 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

Were you disappointed to end up in the Army instead of the Air Force?

I was somewhat, but then when I got into this outfit and realized how important it was, I felt good about it. We had to research road conditions, run information and traffic control, and know where every unit was. And it was very important because if you sent someone in the wrong direction where the roads weren’t any good, they could get bogged down. Or end up among the Germans.

PAGE 16 >>

Fall 2013 | todaystransitions.com

<< PAGE 14

Your unit was there for the Normandy invasion and for the Battle of the Bulge.

Yes, we got to Normandy on June 13, 1944 (the Invasion was on the 6th) and set up a motor pool in the hedgerows, went out on patrol, and took a Jeep up on a high ridge. We could see the German lines and watched the P-47s come in and strafe and bomb them. We were that close. From Normandy we went down to Brest, and in the fall we headed up to our headquarters in Neufchâteau on the French-Belgian border. From there we went to Bastogne, then to the little town of Gouvy on the Belgian-German border. And that’s where the Bulge broke out. It was right there, where we were. We were lucky that we had a Jeep and were able to get out of there. How do you feel about your experiences now?

It was a wonderful outfit to be in and serve in, and we never lost a man throughout the whole war. Of course we were MPs, which put us into a different category: We could go to the front and we could come back. But you know, when I first came back home, you couldn’t get me to talk about any of this. Now, I’m glad I did it, but I wouldn’t want to do it again.

TINAGAY RIDDLE Background Age 56, Lieutenant Colonel, Equal Opportunity/State Diversity Initiative Director for Kentucky National Guard. Military History

Thirty-two years in the National Guard, full-time since 2001. Deployed to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm as a military police platoon leader in 1991. Served as a civil affairs/liaison officer in Bosnia in 2002.

Why did you enlist at the age of 24?

I was going through a terrible divorce and needed to get away and still remain independent from my parents. I was working in retail at the time and met a woman who was in the Air Guard, and she told me all about it. But what really attracted me was talking to her friend, who happened to be a military police officer in the Army Guard. He was a fine man, and I thought, “I want to be professional like he is.” So I chose the National Guard as a second job instead of some of the traditional jobs that females do. PHOTOS COURTESY OF GEORGE MERZ JR. AND TINAGAY RIDDLE

How did your deployments affect you?

I think they hardened my feminist beliefs. Saudi Arabia was the first time I’d ever been smacked with a completely different culture, and what I took away from that is how good we have it in America. In Saudi Arabia, women can’t make their own decisions, and they’re controlled by men. Bosnia was another situation with females. The Bosnian war was one where they used the subordination and degradation of the enemy females on a massive scale. It was very sobering to walk the streets where those kinds of things had happened. Describe a moment when you felt proud to be in uniform.

In Saudi Arabia I had walked into a gold souk, a market, and four Saudi women came in (dressed in black abaya with only their eyes showing) escorted by a man. They all crowded tightly around me, looking at me and chattering amongst themselves, and I felt so honored to be in the military — a woman in a foreign country, wearing a military uniform and a pistol, ready for battle. I always wondered what difference it made in the lives of those women to see me in that way. 16 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

<< PAGE 16

What has been the highlight of your service?

The Bosnian tour was probably the pinnacle of my career in the sense of me finding my strength. I learned that I can talk with anyone, and I was able to work with other liaison officers from various foreign armies. I would have never learned the things that I have learned and seen what I have seen being in a civilian job

environment. That’s why I like the military so much and consider it such an opportunity. Despite any of the bad things that have happened along the way, to come out on the other side knowing what I know, being able to lead others, being a female with that broad of a knowledge base — I absolutely love that I’ve had that experience.

"No matter what country I was in, all people wanted was for their life to be better." PAMELA STEVENSON Background Age 54, Colonel (retired), United States Air Force Military History Twenty-seven years in the Air Force, mostly as judge advocate. Deployed to Croatia as legal adviser to the Joint Task Force of the UN Peacekeeping Force in 1997. Deployed to Kuwait in 2000 as legal adviser to the commander and liaison to the Kuwaiti military.

I was offered an ROTC scholarship to go to college and thought it’d be an adventure. But I really had no idea what I was getting into. I’d never accounted for the opportunity I’d get to impact people’s lives. If nothing else, the military believes in training: leadership training, skills training, technical training. It’s an incredible opportunity to fully develop who you are. Your husband and two children moved with you to new assignments every few years, but you had to leave them for deployments. How did you handle that?

We made it work. But it takes a very confident man to be able to do that and not be afraid of his spouse’s success. Deploying was very difficult, but my husband knew what it would take for me to know that the kids are all right 18 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

and to feel comfortable so I could perform the way I needed to perform. He’d cook them gourmet meals, take them to the library, take them swimming. He did the things he knew I would do so they wouldn’t miss me. How did you navigate being a woman in a man’s world?

I would use humor to get people’s minds off who I was so we could get the job done. And then they would relax enough to tell me about their daughters and what they hoped for them, which was always “more.” No matter what country I was in, all people wanted was for their life to be better. And I learned that I can’t fight every battle, but I can fight the battles that are going to make a difference. I also learned that we don’t have to change people to get the job done; we just have to honor them like we want them to honor us.

What would you like people to understand about veterans?

I think businesses should realize the value of a veteran, and I want politicians to provide some funding so we could become a model for what it means to be a veteran-friendly community. We need to get to where we have a reputation that if you’re a veteran and want to get started on your second act, you can come to Kentucky and Indiana because you’re going to transition well and be taken care of. And we need to acknowledge women veterans, who tend to disappear, so they can thrive. When women thrive, their families thrive. And when families thrive, communities thrive.

s a board certified music therapist at Norton Audubon Hospital, Kerry Willis uses songs and rhythms to help patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other conditions. She has found music can help relax those who have anxiety and can also be a distraction for patients undergoing painful physical therapy. Likewise, the steady rhythm and predictable melodies can relax people who are suffering from memory-related illnesses. “Music is something that is familiar and relatable, and it helps bring back memories,” Willis says. “It can tap into long-term memories, which is what is usually affected by dementia. Families will report that their loved ones are calmer or they’re able to carry on a better conversation after the music.” Willis usually selects music patients listened to in their late teens or early 20s because that tends to

be the age when music has the most meaning to an individual. In addition, she says music should not be listened to constantly throughout the day. Since more focus can be given to the music, intermittent intervals work better than songs consistently Caregivers at played in the home can also background. try sing-along Although DVDs or watching the hospital musicals with hosts a sizable their loved ones. library of songs, Willis invites family members to bring their loved one’s favorite music from home to the sessions. “Families often like to bring exactly what their parents listen to at home,” she says. “It gives the families a sense of purpose and something they have control over.

WHAT I KNOW NOW

Tom Owen

The archivist for regional history with the Archives and Special Collections at University of Louisville on Kentucky folk sayings and how to find your calling BY LUCY M. PRITCHETT / PHOTO MELISSA DONALD

What advice would you give the younger you?

How did you find your calling?

“It’s probably going to be all right.” I think I tried to believe that when I was younger, but there were a lot of times I didn’t.

As a young man, I felt called to preach. I left the pastorate at age 27 as a fully ordained minister. I got my master’s in history from U of L and my Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky. I taught history for a while. Then I sort of slipped and fell into the role of archivist and trained for two years for that. All that to say that it may take time to find what feels right and what you enjoy. I am more focused now. I am just scholarly enough to be able; community-minded enough to enjoy serving; good enough on my feet to be successful; and, wound up enough to be boundless.

What drives you now?

Boy, am I driven. I am engaged from 5:30 in the morning until 11 at night. The dark side of that is a fear of quiet. The lighter side is ‘Life is short. Fill it up.’ What does the average American not understand about history?

That the smallest part of history is the facts... the dates. The bigger part is the ongoing reinterpretation of what happened based on where you stand today. The awareness that history is about perspective. Each generation frames the questions we can ask about the past. What excites me is the discussion, the ongoing debate, and asking new questions and looking for evidence in light of the new questions. How do you respond to critics?

I try not to be defensive. I try to respond directly, including, ‘Can you meet me for a cup of coffee?’ 22 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

Are you a collector?

I have a file of Kentucky folk sayings I have been adding to for 15 or 20 years. I keep the list on my computer. Here’s one: “She’s from so far back in the sticks, her breath smells like wood smoke.” I also have a file of quotable quotes – sayings of wisdom and inspiration. I take both files with me on vacation and re-read them. They are thoughtful expressions I want to remember and go back and touch.

Tom, 74, also represents the eighth district on Louisville Metro Council. You may have seen him pedaling on his bicycle around his district, something he does every summer, chatting with his constituents. What article of clothing should a man never be seen wearing?

Argyle knee socks with shorts.

What should a man know about getting old?

(Laughs) Understand that you will never see yourself as others see you.

I am just scholarly enough to be able; community-minded enough to enjoy serving; good enough on my feet to be successful; and wound up enough to be boundless. What is the key to a good marriage?

A lot of luck and a desire to play house. My wife Phyllis and I will have been married 50 years in January. What delights you?

I have an interest in anybody’s and everybody’s story. There is a story under every rock — not just the shiny rocks. I believe I have been blessed with an interest in the history of the commonplace.

What do we need to know about the South and its history?

The narrative, especially to those of us who identify with it, begins in complexity. A mix of the defeated in the Civil War; race, big time; agrarian values; and ‘feeling’ religion. What do you think your legacy will be?

I am caught between saying ‘quickly forgotten’ and wanting to be remembered as an accurate, passionate storyteller.

PROBLEM:

Bad Breath

It’s not unusual to experience occasional bouts of bad breath (halitosis) after indulging in certain foods and drinks, but persistent halitosis is usually a sign that something’s wrong. Chronic bad breath is most often caused by a buildup of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth, but it can also be a symptom of other health problems and shouldn’t be ignored.

PROBLEM:

Hair Loss

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone that women also have in trace amounts, is the main culprit of hair thinning and hair loss according to Dr. Brad Cummins of RevitaLife MD in Louisville. DHT affects hair follicles in the scalp, and while it mostly wreaks havoc with men’s hairlines as they age, some women are also vulnerable, especially when there is a hormone imbalance. Hair loss can also be caused by poor nutrition, medications, hair styles that pull on the hair, and traumatic health events such as major surgery or extreme stress.

26 todaystransitions.com | Summer 2013

used to

SOLUTION:

Improve Oral Hygiene

Work With Your Doctor

Properly brushing and flossing, thoroughly cleaning dentures and prosthetics, and brushing the tongue or using tongue scrapers will minimize the amount of odor-causing bacteria, according to Dr. Liliana Rozo, DDS, clinical assistant professor at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. Antibacterial mouth rinses can be helpful in some cases, but dentists caution that mouth rinses can disrupt healthy ecology in the mouth over time and worsen the problem.

When halitosis is caused by underlying dental problems such as gingivitis or tooth decay, seeing your dentist to restore the health of your mouth will automatically improve your breath. If your dentist can’t find the source of the problem, however, it’s time to turn to your doctor. Other causes of halitosis can include medications that decrease saliva production, sinus and respiratory infections, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys or liver, and diabetes.

SOLUTION:

Low-Tech Treatments

High-Tech Treatments

Recognizing warning signs and getting early treatment can slow down, prevent, or even reverse hair loss. Doctors and hair loss specialists can figure out the cause of the problem and determine the best treatment options. The most common solutions include topical medications and shampoos that block DHT, lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplements. Women have also had success with hormone replacement therapy.

There is a test that checks for a hair loss gene, Cummins says, enabling those at risk to be more proactive with treatment. Lowlevel laser therapy on the scalp, used in the doctor’s office to strengthen hair and make it fuller, can be brought home in the form of laser brushes and laser caps. Platelet-rich plasma, typically used on the face to improve skin texture, also shows promise as a hair loss treatment when injected into the scalp.

says options for fall travel destinations are endless. “The summer crowds have gone, and it is not the holidays, yet the weather is still good,” she says. “You might want to stay away from the Caribbean and cruises, though, since September is hurricane season.” These days, 80 percent of all travel booked is by people 50 and older, and according to Liz, it’s all about doing your research. For example, she says, “Tuesday is the best day to travel and book flights. Or, if you’re going to a big city, weekend hotel rates are much lower than weekdays because business travelers book on the weekdays, so hotels are less full on weekends.” — ALISSA HICKS 28 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

A Worthy Volunteer In recognition of her volunteer efforts at Baptist Health LaGrange, Louisvillian Alta Hausnz, 83, was recently given the Home Instead Senior Care network’s Salute to Senior Service award for Kentucky. Hausnz has been a regular fixture at the hospital since 1995. She is currently president of its Volunteer Association, but it’s not unusual to see her filing and typing in the human resources department. Hausnz also received $500 from Home Instead Senior Care to donate to a charity of her choice. She gave the money to the Employee Assistance Fund at the hospital. “I enjoy doing something that’s useful and helpful,” Hausnz says. “If you have free time, I just think there is nothing better you can do.” — AMANDA BEAM

things veterans should know about benefits

1. Veterans can obtain benefits for the same need through multiple departments. For example, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA)’s Home Health Aide Program can be combined with the Aid and Attendance benefit through the Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) to obtain in-home care services. 2. When given a medical diagnosis, a veteran should determine if that diagnosis could be related to his or her military service. Many diagnoses, from hearing loss to Parkinson’s, can be service-connected, which could qualify the veteran for disability compensation benefits.

4. The VHA waives inpatient, outpatient, and prescription copays for catastrophically disabled veterans with a severe disease that permanently compromises their ability to carry out activities of daily living, such as ALS, MS, or Parkinson’s. Contributed by Whitney M. Wilson, VA-accredited attorney at Elder Law of Louisville, 502.410.5080

La Bohéme > Kentucky

Opera

Love finds young bohemians in early 19th century Paris trying to make a living with their art. While there are fleeting moments of joy, the realities of poverty and ill health become too much, and sacrifices must be made in an attempt to save one in their midst. An opera in four acts, the libretto was penned by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica and composed by Giacomo Puccini. If the opera’s story sounds familiar to Broadway music lovers, it’s because Jonathan Larson based his Tony Award-winning rock musical, Rent, on La Bohème. WHEN: Sept. 20 @ 8 p.m. and Sept. 22 @ 2 p.m. *Sung in Italian with English

Endow Your Relationships BY BOB MUELLER

I love the word “endow.” An endowment is a fund that continues to give over the years. To be endowed is to be gifted. There are several ingredients with which we can create well-endowed, successful relationships, rich with a sustained sense of grace, abundance, and vitality. These practices apply to any relationship that is important to us in our personal lives and in our workplaces. These practices are concentration, compassion, and curiosity. They are the opposite of the “Troubled C’s” of relationships which are control, criticism, contempt, and contention. Paying close attention is the first step in communicating that we care. The quality of our attention is directly proportionate to our degree of concentration. We make immediate intimate connection when 38 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

Love is involvement. we give our full, undistracted attention, look into another’s eyes, hear their words and listen in a focused way to whatever is meaningful to them in that moment. We are offering companionship of one soul to another, a willingness to enter their world, to witness their reality with accuracy,

intelligence, and understanding. We can give companionship in less than a minute to the checkout clerk in the grocery store, a colleague or employee in a moment of frustration or celebration, or we can use it to discover a client’s true needs. We can provide it to our intimates, those who need our presence most of all. Offering our peaceful, loving presence is one of the most meaningful ways to be a good provider. Working at Hosparus I have especially learned this reality of active listening and presence visiting both patients and donors. Receptive silence with total, focused concentration creates a safe space for others to speak freely. Silence can be a powerful compassionate response when our inner state is one of receptivity and nonjudgmental attention. continued on page 48

Endow Your Relationships, continued continued from page 38

Having worked with many individuals who are in a state of grief, I have often heard from them the unhelpful things people do and say. One is to give little platitudes or Bible verses when they are in the midst of their pain, as if to say, “Get over it.” Telling people “This too shall pass” when loss is fresh and wounds are raw is disrespectful. One young woman, recently widowed, was deeply offended when people said to her, “Well you’re young. You’ll marry again.” This utterly ignored the reality of her grief for her husband. She was in no position to project into the future at all. These kinds of expressions minimize the loss and trivialize the meaning of the loss. Simply being with each other, silent witness to our grief is enough. The mother of a 10-year-old daughter who was terminally ill with a brain tumor told me of the countless prayers, crosses, potions, and lotions the friends in her church bestowed on her family. People came to lay hands on her daughter, prayed 48 todaystransitions.com | Fall 2013

over her, and offered up endless magic remedies. Finally, realizing that this did nothing but upset her, she set a boundary and no longer allowed people to come into their home, “except for a few,” she said. “What was it about those few?” I asked, “Oh, they would just sit with me, and let me talk and cry. And they brought food.” Grief is a natural and healthy part of life and it takes time. Giving someone our time, listening with gentle curiosity, and bearing witness to whatever they are experiencing — without pushing or pulling them along to a different state of being — is a rare gift that can bring them a measure of grace. Love is involvement. Curiosity is care. Although in many families and cultures it is considered impolite to probe and ask personal questions, I have discovered that questions that get to the heart of the matter are an essential ingredient in the art of presence, whether I am companioning someone in the inner city or a corporate CEO. This is one of the most vital ways to give and receive grace in all of our relationships.

The courtesy of good listening is the bread that sustains our relationships. When we have had a bad day, have taken a great trip or face a challenging issue, have seen something beautiful, or understood something new, most of us crave an opportunity to share it. Having someone’s courteous attention through questions that allow us to tell the story more fully is a welcome gift.

I am endowing my relationships and practicing compassion when I . . . • Notice someone is hurt or needs a friend • Use empathy to imagine how they must be feeling • Take time to show that I care • Listen with an open heart • Forgive others and myself for our mistakes • Do some kindness for a person or animal in need. Bob Mueller is senior director of Mission & Stewardship at Hosparus.

o N Wa i ts f o r

veryone knows someone who is always late. I’m not talking a couple of minutes, but more like an hour to anytime the late arrival feels like making an appearance. It does not seem to matter what time you give them. It could be Eastern, Standard, or Central. It does not matter because they reside in their own time zone. This is the equivalent of the twilight zone since time has no meaning to the people who insist on making this their home. I feel like I am a forgiving person. I can count on one hand the times anyone (outside my family) has really made me mad, but being chronically late really pushes my buttons. I have absolutely no patience with people who are late. Why do they think their time is more precious than mine? For me, “better late than never” is not applicable to those who abuse the saying. If you are late more than once, then as far as I am concerned, “never” will be the time of our next meeting. I grew up in a family where time was of the essence. It was an insult to be late when someone invited you to an event, or God forbid, you had an appointment of some kind. Being on time was equated with common courtesy and respect for

never know ‘bout that there traffic. You might get all tied up and be late!” Being late for Daddy was the equivalent of being charged with a felony. If we had been Catholic, I’m sure he would have considered it a mortal sin. After years of Daddy’s constant warnings, it was easier to be an hour early than to listen to him. Of course, I’d usually spend at least half an hour sitting in the car. Doctor’s visits, from my father’s perspective, were sacred. “I don’t see why you don’t just go on.” “But, Daddy, my appointment isn’t for another hour.” “So what? You go on now, and reckon they just might take you in early!” Getting in early for my dad was like winning the lottery. Just look at all the time you could save. Of course, he never counted the time wasted waiting in doctor’s offices where you were rarely seen on time, anyway. The term “killing time” was not in Daddy’s vocabulary. According to Dr. Phil, people who are always late believe the world revolves around them. I suppose this means they think it’s OK to show up whenever it is “con-VEEN-ient” for them, as Dana Carvey’s church lady used to say. Of course, trying to convince them of such truth is nothing less than a huge waste of time. Evidently, all of Daddy’s warnings remain in my subconscious because I am punctual without fail and almost always early wherever I go. Luckily, I married a man who is just like me. We’re always on time, and for us, it is never too late to be early. When I taught preschool, if I wasn’t in at least a half hour (usually more like an hour) ahead of schedule, my fellow teachers were

others. Good manners included “please,” “thank you,” and always being on time. My dad never heard of Emily Post or Miss Manners, but his philosophy on how to treat others was in sync with both. “The Golden Rule” learned in Sunday School where we were taught to “do unto others” certainly meant doing it on time. I can look back at any report card from my 12 years of non-collegiate schooling and know that there is no mark of “tardy” found on any of them without a written doctor’s excuse. If cleanliness is next to Godliness, for my dad, punctuality was the 11th commandment. Tardiness was next to Godlessness. If we had been Catholic, I’m sure Daddy would have Daddy adhered to the considered being late a mortal sin. literal interpretation of ready to check the local hospitals. As far as Ecclesiastes where “For everything there is a the children I have taught goes, only time season, and a time for every matter . . .” will tell how my personal punctuality will In my dad’s view of the world, “no affect them in the future. “Early to bed, time like the present” was his mantra. I can still hear his anxious voice in my ear early to rise” has not made me healthy, wealthy, or particularly wise, but it has an hour before it was time to leave for certainly seen to it that I am never late. any appointment. “Are you ready yet?

It’s Your Style

BY TIFFANY WHITE / PHOTOS MELISSA DONALD

LOVE YOUR HAIR!

If you’ve been wearing the same hairstyle for years, it’s time to break out of your rut. The stylists at Hair by Bennie & Friends (2346 Frankfort Avenue, 502.895.1956) and Fritz’s Salon & Spa for Men (657 S. Hurstbourne Parkway, 502.412.3728) show us which hairstyles are best for men and women over 50.

Vicki Stanley, president of V. Stanley and Associates, Age 58

Vicki before

Vicki had long hair and says she didn’t know what to do with it, but stylist Michele McKendrick from Hair by Bennie & Friends used Vicki’s natural curl as the foundation for a playful, modern hairstyle. Michele took off several inches of hair and added layers which enhanced her curls, gave the hair an instant lift, and made styling easier. She added highlights to her hair to give dimension and brightness.

MICHELE’S HAIRSTYLE RULE: “When considering face shape and features, be sure to bring attention to your favorites! For example, if you love your eyes, adding bangs will make them a focal point. Avoid cutting the length of the hair or heavy layers at a place where you wouldn’t want to add width. A jaw-length, full bob wouldn’t necessarily flatter someone with a wider, square jaw line.” Makeup by Amanda Baker, Hair by Bennie & Friends

Rod Kublick, distribution associate for Zion Publications, Age 54 Taking some length off Rod’s hair and making his edges sharp made a huge difference. Jacquelyn Roberts, stylist at Fritz’s Salon & Spa for Men, took off 2 ½ inches of his hair but kept the top longer for easy styling. To downplay his gray, she used a gray blending treatment on his hair, which added color to it but blended in with his gray. Jacqueline says the treatment gives Rod before hair the right amount of color for a natural look that is age-appropriate. For the finishing touch, Jacquelyn took a little bit of length off Rod’s beard for a cleaner look. JACQUELYN’S HAIRSTYLE RULE: “Go with [a hairstyle] that doesn’t look too young or too old for you. It is good to switch things up, and I would recommend using some type of product on the hair.”
