investigators. Streety said Eddy refused commands. Instead, Eddy ran to his vehicle, grabbed a pistol and fired several times, striking Streety six times in his body armor, hand, arm, buttocks and hip. "I could feel the bullets striking me in my back. I said to myself, that was in my vest.

But I kept (running). Then I got shot in the right buttock," Streety told the six-jury panel and two alternates. He later showed photographs of the gunshot wounds to the jurors. "It was a tremendous Kennedy Continued from Page 1B ley started working in geriatrics 25 years ago, the use of "elderly" was common. Now, students are taught the phrase "older adults," says Gammonley, an associate professor of social work at the University of Central Florida.

Elderly, she says, is stigmatizing; suggests frailty. "What we need to do is respect how an older person wants to be thought of she says. "That's not really different or unique to a particular age group. We need to ask people: What works for you?" Words have power and meaning, says LisaMarie Luccioni, a nationally recognized business etiquette expert, communication professor and blogger for Psychology Today. She likes "older adults," too.

"The feelings that we associate with a word, one that one person innocently uses with no intention of hurting someone, can cause another person to react negatively," Luccioni says.

VANN STREETY Florida Wildlife slam into my right buttock. I don't know why I didn't go down, I just kept running," said Streety, describing how he ran into a thicket of pepper trees to protect himself. Eddy rode off as Streety, with a badly wounded left arm and a wounded right hand, alerted dispatchers.

A multi-agency manhunt resulted in Eddy's arrest two days later near Melbourne Beach. Before testifying, Sun City, a retirement community, I heard folks use expressions like "little girl with wrinkles" and "people of experience" to refer to themselves. At 34, 1 met 76-year-old Frances "Foofie" Harlan, a limber member of a dance troupe called the Sun City Poms. She was featured in Life magazine at a bus stop, her right leg in the air parallel to her body, in a photo that went viral. Foofie performed for Queen Elizabeth II.

She died without growing old. "I look like a raisin," she told me. "But I'm a little girl in my head. I'm not a senior citizen. I'm Foofie." Hindsley, Gammonley and Luccioni pegged it as surely as my friend Foofie nailed the splits and life.

The words we choose to describe others can shape attitudes and should convey common courtesy. The kind of treatment most of us would like afforded ourselves and loved ones, whether we're 8 or 80. I prefer "Britt," by the way. And "older adult" is 10 years beyond whatever age I am on any given day. Contact Kennedy at 321-242-3692 or bkennerly8floridatoday.com.
