Starting with the Community Resource Directories For Seniors, with Al and Mary-Lou (deceased) Bishoff, and Wally Coombs in production, this changed to The Advancing Years newspaper which lasted for a 1 year term and then was sold to Joel and Darlene Rickard of Kelowna. From there the Newspaper became The Seniors Choice with Wally Coombs doing the production. After approximately 2 years The Choice was taken over by Wally and then it became known as Today’s Senior. This continued for 11 years when at that time Sharon Robinson, of Surrey, purchased the paper with Wally as Publisher and Editor.
Mildred McDonald was an original columnist starting with The Advancing Years and continued on through the years with the changes of name and owners, until February of 2012 when she retired at 95 years of age with Today’s Senior. Another original columnist was Weir Muir (deceased) who continued until his death in 2011.
During this time period the main facture who kept the newspaper going was our main salesperson, Phyllis Langston. She was, and is, a top salesperson with many connections from past sales positions. This is the main reason Today’s Senior has become so successful.
