How often do you think about retiring?
I go on walks regularly with an 82-year-old. Retired for more than 15 years, he hasn’t slowed down a bit. He has served on several boards and committees, taken classes on local history, computer programming, wildflowers, and wetlands, and even helped scan ballots for local elections.
