I gotta say, though, Don, that the elder role models who mattered most to me were those I actually knew, the uncelebrated people who quietly lived good lives, and to whom recognition, when bestowed at all, came in the form of late and local.
This is SO amazing. I am constantly inspired by the things people do in their later years, it makes me hopeful for what I can achieve in my life! Thanks for the inspiration Don :)
The one about Julia "Hurricane" Hawkins was the best. Started to compete at age 80. I guess I will have my knee replaced sooner rather than later. Thanks for the encouragement!!!
