It’s the big 7-0 for Bridges To Life founder and CEO John Sage, whose week-long celebration included dinners with family and lunch at Taste of Texas with wife Frances and brother Dr. Bill Sage, hosted by his sister, Helen Sage Perry. It’s a milestone year with the 25th anniversary of the untimely death of their beloved sister, Marilyn Sage, and 20th anny of Bridges To Life, a restorative justice program John began in 1998 following Marilyn’s murder. BTL curriculum for prisoners is used with 800 volunteers in 12 states, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, Australia and Mexico and has plans for Belize.
