What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it’s fame and money, you’re not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you’re mistaken. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study as well as some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on how to build a fulfilling, long life.

The Pine Bush Library would like to thank Bob Scully for allowing us to borrow some of his paintings to display in the mail library.

Bob is a life-long resident of the Hudson Valley. He was born in the City of Newburgh, and graduated from Newburgh Free Academy. In 1985 Bob and his wife, Cathy, moved to Pine Bush where they now reside. After working at IBM for 28 years as a mechanical designer, Bob retired and began teaching drawing and painting and eventually opened Bob-Cat Studio, a picture framing shop. The custom picture framing was a natural step, incorporating his artistic creativity and working with his hands.

Bob’s artistic background has been basically self-taught, until the early 1970’s, at which time he began painting instruction with John and Paul Gould at the Bethlehem Art Gallery. Since then he has studied under Daniel Greene, and attended the Scottsdale Artist School Workshops.

His works vary, never settling on one particular subject. This has always been so because he finds an interest in all things. Most recently Bob has been inspired by the scenery in trips to the Southwest.

Bob has been a member of many art organizations over the years, and is currently a member of the Orange County Arts Council and the Middletown Art Group (MAG).

Next time you visit the main library take a moment to look up and see some of Bob’s work.

Each month, we offer dozens of virtual workshops for job seekers on everything from resume writing and networking to salary negotiation and the Civil Service system. These free courses provide valuable job search information and satisfy work search requirements.

If you are interested in registering for a workshop or career fair but you’re not sure how, you can now find step-by-step instructions on our Career Center Event Calendar main page.
