The St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System will recognize another amazing group of active and engaged seniors, as it prepares to host its 11th annual Ageless-Remarkable St. Louisans Gala. Set for Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch, the gala will pay tribute to 19 older adults, age 75+, who are living proof that retirement doesn’t have be synonymous with slowing down. From traveling the world and embarking on new careers to offering their time and talents to their favorite charitable organizations and lending a hand in their communities, this year’s class of Ageless-Remarkable St. Louisans continues to reshape the face of aging in our region and provides a fresh perspective on what it means to grow older.

Included in this year's class is Barry Hyatt, 79, a national award-winning jewelry designer and one of St. Louis’ preeminent jewelers. Over the past 20 years, his pieces have been purchased by celebrities and area residents, alike, in search of innovative and unique pieces. Today, he continues to work six days a week at his newest shop in Creve Coeur, while also donating his time as associate music director of the Moolah Shriners Community Band and remaining active in community theater, where he’s appeared in more than 50 plays.
