Welcome to the first edition of Amarillo Senior Link! Amarillo and the Panhandle
are gold mines of inspiration, when you consider the cumulative wisdom and
experience of our senior population. The vision of Senior Link is to get those the
stories told, so everyone can benefit.
publisher

We look forward to sharing this free, quarterly magazine with you, but also
partnering with you to make it happen. Senior Link is unique because YOU are
the story tellers, and we are a platform to give you an audience. Think about your
parents, your neighbors, your friends; think about veterans and teachers, love
stories and stories that help put Amarillo
on the map. Let’s get those written so
that up-and-coming generations will have
a record of the foundation that made this
community what it is today.

For the Spring edition, several high school
seniors are demonstrating the reason for
the “Link” in our name. We asked them
to write about a local senior citizen who
has made an impact in their lives, and the
pages that follow are their stories. To
those senior citizens - thank you for being
a role model to these kids. To the high
school seniors - thank you for being willing
to sit at the feet of these seniors and learn
from them. We believe that the stories
within us, when put on paper or on video
can leave a lasting legacy for our entire
community.

The advertisers that you see on the following pages have helped tremendously to make this magazine come
together. The ads make it possible to keep this publication free. Especially since this is the first edition, please
reach out to them and thank them. They need to know the community is benefitting from the resources and
stories we share.

In addition, let me hear from you - call me, email me, send me a letter. I want to help you to get your stories
told, and I also want to know what you like and don’t like and what additional things you’d like to see. This
magazine honors seniors, provides resources for them, and “links” generations. We can’t wait to partner with
you to get Amarillo’s best stories in print.

Every Spring issue will be entitled “Senior to Senior”, and you will be impressed with the tributes written by
the area’s high school seniors. Every Fall issue will feature stories of veterans, in order to honor them for their
individual contributions to our freedom. The Summer and Winter editions have more variety, but every quarter
promises to inspire, challenge, educate and entertain.

We hope you enjoy and are blessed by the pages that follow. You, too, have a story to share, and we look
forward to meeting you and helping to make that happen.
