In addition to mentoring at three martial arts clubs she still finds time to work as a ski and snowboard instructor and volunteer in her community. Guided by her Jewish faith and quest to never stop learning, Sensei Fran became proficient in all of these arts during her years in the Foreign Service, living in places such as Japan, Afghanistan and the Sudan. We spend time with Fran as she reflects on her Foreign Service career and shares her vivid photographs from around the world. We observe her teaching, training, dancing, and giving Shiatsu massage. Sharing stories like Fran's can reduce the stigma towards aging, and show that it is never too late to learn new things and make new friends. See less
