A new vision of aging

12:00: A new vision of aging

1:00: Lessons from life on the road

"They all have an inner voice, and they listen to it." That's what a local woman said she learned from people in their 90s who are still professionally active. Pat Ward-Baker earned her Ph.D. when she was 75. Her dissertation, "The Remarkable Oldest Old: A New Vision of Aging," still informs her work and her life today. Ward-Baker is now in her 90s and continues to combat ageism. We sit down with her and her colleagues to talk about their vision of aging. In studio:

• Pat Ward Baker, Ph.D., former financial advisor
• Margaret M. Joynt, former attorney 
• Kitty Wise, former program coordinator for Friends of the Rochester Public Library and long-time community volunteer for supporting the arts in Rochester
• Mary Rose McBride, vice president of marketing and communications for Lifespan

Then in our second hour, what can national and international travel teach us — and how can it change us? We talk to two women with Rochester roots about what they've learned from their lives on the road. Our guests:

• Alison Konecki, traveler and arts administrator
• Christina Le Beau, writer and traveler
