NEW SERIES: VICTORIAIf you enjoyed the Crown, you will

love Victoria. We will be watchingthis new series beginning Thursday,May 18th, at 3:00 in the TR. Aboutthe show:

In 1837, a diminutive, neglectedteenager is crowned Queen Victoria,navigates the scandal, corruption,and political intrigues of the Court,and soon rises to become the mostpowerful woman in the world. Victoriastars Jenna Coleman as QueenVictoria in a highly anticipated seriesthat follows the drama of the candid,spirited monarch who was perhapsthe first woman to seem to have it all.Tom Hughes plays her husband,Prince Albert.

Jerry AikenJerry was born in Pontiac, MI, &

was raised in Clawson. Aftergraduating from Clawson HighSchool he went into the Army. Heserved in Korea from 1961-1964.After the Army he worked as aforeman & supervisor at TRW forover 33 yrs. Jerry has 3 daughtersand 6 grandchildren. Welcome toAmerican House, Jerry!

Outdoor StrollsSpring is here! Take advantage of milder weather and go for a walk in the freshair. A recent large-scale study by the University of Michigan reported reducedstress levels in people who walked outside with a group. Researchers believe

that the combination of exercise, nature and social interaction serves as apowerful mood enhancer. People facing stressful life events, such as an illness,experienced the biggest boost; however, going on regular outdoor walks maycontribute to an improved sense of well-being, even when you’re feeling fine.

Salute America’s MilitaryIn May, America observes Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, National MilitaryAppreciation Month and Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Take the time this

month to honor the men and women in uniform, past and present, andtheir families.
