Making connections across generationsBRADEN FASTIER / STUFF A project in Nelson is bridging the gaps between the generations, and making life-long connections in the process. Rest Home resident Joan Crawford is a Neil Diamond "obsessive", carrying a photo of the Brooklyn-born singer everywhere she goes. The Age to Age programme was set up two years ago as a volunteer project by Nelson resident Vicky Jackson. Braden Fastier / Stuff Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village resident Joan Lintin shares a smile with Hampden St school pupil Eliza Storm. "Where previously we would have three generations in a family living together, that doesn't happen so often now," she said.
