(Carol and Jim were high school sweethearts who married in...)
Carol and Jim were high school sweethearts who married in their early twenties. Thirty years and two children later, Jim announced to his wife that he was homosexual. A fundamentalist Christian, he had been leading a double life for years. In an effort to sort out her pain and confusion, Carol Grever sought out other heterosexual women, of all ages, ethnicities, and educational backgrounds, who were married to gay men. The stories she uncovered examine their coping strategies and form the basis of this manual for healing.

Her dedication to the health and well-being of our members - both in her Fit After 50 class and in all opportunities for Active Older Adults - is truly caring. She is passionate about developing a welcoming, healthy environment for members to thrive in, and she does that because she cares. She is a true beacon of light for the ideal of volunteer service, and I am honored to work with her."
