Dan Olshansky’s Sept. 26 letter, “Senior Center brass should talk instead of order,” was a very timely statement of the current situation at the Northampton Senior Center.
After five months out of town, I returned to the Senior Center in August to find exercise classes dwindled to less than half their former size, features of interest to seniors removed from the now sterile lobby, and such senior groups as bridge players, book club and music group being interfered with, always to their disadvantage and without explanation from the administrators.
It seems that the seniors, many of whom have been coming to — and contributing to — the center for years, have suddenly become “second class citizens” in their own place. Why?
