Shirley Ristau Featured in AP Wire Story!!!

Well, we never had to be convinced that Stephen's mom deserves national recognition but finally the rest of the world has caught on. Shirley was featured in a local story picked up by the AP wire service and distributed nationally. She is a regular at the various exercise programs held at the Manchester Senior Center and serves as the new national poster child for the benefits of exercise and balance training to prevent falls. Here is a picture that ran nationally! You GO, girl!!!!!
