If laughter is the best medicine, why just talk about laughing? Let’s do it! If after listening to Mildred’s real-life stories your funny bone is tickled and you can’t catch your breath, attribute it to the invigorating intervention of laughing out loud. While there’s no giggle guarantee, Mildred does her best to kindle a few chuckles and chortles. Mildred has been the keynoter of Wayne State University Institute of Gerontology’s annual conference, “Art of Aging Successfully.”
