A few weeks ago, we had the incredible honor of watching one of our own take to the skies once again. ✈️ 104-year-old WWII veteran and Touchmark at Georgetown resident Grover Trytten participated in Dream Flights' “Spirit of Texas” tour in Georgetown, soaring in a restored 1943 Boeing Stearman aircraft similar to those used to train military aviators during World War II. This latest story is a follow-up to the Dream Flights coverage, offering a deeper look at Grover’s remarkable service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II—and the legacy he continues to carry with him. Moments like these remind us that history lives within our communities—and that adventure, courage, and purpose don’t fade with age. We’re proud to celebrate Grover’s story and grateful for his service to our country. Read the full story from CBS Austin: https://bit.ly/4f3IlEP

Old-fashioned letter writing. New friendships. Real connection. 💌 The Pen Pal Program at Touchmark at The Ranch brought together residents, team members, and students from Mingus Springs Charter School for a school year filled with stories, encouragement, and meaningful connection. What started as a writing assignment quickly grew into something much bigger—friendships across generations, shared life experiences, and moments that touched everyone involved. From exchanging recipes and camping stories to celebrating together at an end-of-year barbecue, this program is a reminder that connection never goes out of style. We’re proud to create opportunities where relationships flourish, purpose is renewed, and every generation has something valuable to share. ❤️ See news coverage of the event: https://lnkd.in/ghPp8698 https://lnkd.in/gXaPaqwM

Honoring service, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable moments—yesterday, residents at Touchmark at Georgetown took to the skies with Dream Flights. As part of their “Spirit of Texas” tour, veterans experienced the thrill of flying in a restored 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane—an emotional and meaningful tribute to their service. The joy, reflection, and connection felt throughout the day were truly powerful. This experience is part of a broader partnership we’re proud of.
