MONTEREY HERALD -- May 27 -- Four years ago Paul Henry (now 82), 50
pounds overweight, twice widowed and alone. A few hundred miles away in
Carmel, widow Jen-Chi anderson
(now 83) had an empty house and an empty
heart. They cast their nets worldwide on the Web and soon the
sweet tones of a modem heralded the beginning of their octogenarian
affair. They met face-to-face three months later and were living
together within a year. "When you get up near 80," Henry said,
"you don't mess around." The spirit of their relationship --
sweetness spiked with humor. Despite their differences, Henry and
Anderson are members of a growing club: senior citizens who are going
online. According to the Pew Internet & American Lifeproject latest survey, 27% of seniors were wired. "It might be a
bit surprising for people your age, but we have a real love affair,"
said Henry. "I don't feel like I'm in my 80s." Henry has lost 50
pounds with his partner's help. FULL ARTICLE @ MONTEREY HERALD
