Oxnard—Things are gearing up for an exciting fall at the Wilson Senior Center, as Jean, the featured Super Senior, personifies everything great about the Center.
JEAN Herrison may be quiet, but the happy crocheter has sung the praises of the Wilson Senior Center for a long time.

“The first thing I did here was do puzzles,” she said. “There were different things I could color, and I loved that.”
