        In Greyrock, out of the 24 households who've joined so far there 
are four who could be classed as seniors, two beyond retirement age, and 
another two approaching retirement.  I agree that cohousing has much to 
offer seniors; I'd also like to say that seniors have much to offer to
cohousing groups.
