âSparks were flyingâ recently for 2 Tampa Bay seniors, but others are waiting to date
Many seniors are longing for social connection after a yearlong pandemic, but many are hesitant and others struggle to make connections.

George âBudâ Anderson, 63, hasn t been dating during the pandemic, or even now after getting his two doses of the vaccine. Before the pandemic, he went to pool parties and cookouts and was dating someone for the first time in years. Music has been important to him in his solitude. âI spent the bulk of my time growing up working on my music one way to another. If I wasnât practicing I would be up on stage somewhere,â he remembers. [ JOHN PENDYGRAFT | Times ]
