In the ponds of Cape Cod, there's a group of women over 65 living in their bliss. They call themselves the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage and their mission is simple: clean up the trash from their local ponds, enjoy nature, and build sisterhood. What began as Susan Baur's mission to help the turtles in her neighborhood waters has grown into a movement of retirees who refuse to sit still. Ma...

We’ve known each other since we were teenagers running around the same neighborhood, and let’s just say, Jan’s talent for making friends is almost as impressive as his knack for conversation (seriously, how does one have too many friends? 🤔).
