When Under the Sun heard about a cat retirement home in Broward County, our interest was more than a little bit piqued.  So, we sent Under the Sun’s resident retiree, Robert Lyle, over for a visit.

He met with Steve Kilmer and Ella Schutt, owners of Palm Meow in Hollywood.  The many amenities of this retirement community include daily brushing and cat massage, videos of mice and other furry creatures, relaxing classical music, and individualized play sessions.   Sorry, cats only.

    I would just like to comment on the recording of the Palm Meow interview. It was a very good and informative piece on how the long term care of people’s pets is handled and how one can set up a trust for their care.

    Thank You

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
