Senior Life — celebrating Brevard for 28 years BY JEFF NAVIN Twenty-eight years ago, Jill Blue was living in DeLand and she saw the potential of Brevard County before many others. That’s when the publisher and CEO of Bluewater Creative Group published the first issue of Senior Life for June 1997. “For the first five years, I designed it, delivered it and billed everything,’’ said Blue, who eventually created the Boomer Guide 19 years ago and the Viera Voice 17

They haven’t said that for a while.’’ A Hobbies & Passions Series has taken the place of The Games People Play Series within the past year.
