HOW OLD IS "OLD?"
It's August 21st everybody and this is
"Senior Citizens Day!" When I was growing
up I considered anyone older was a senior
citizen. My parents. Certainly my grand mother.
But that designation has changed a lot over the
years. At one time retirement age qualified one
as a senior. That age used to be 65. But now you
can reture at 62. That's the age one has to be to
buy a Senior Pass to our national parks. But
AARP , which has been representing senior's
interests for years, welcomes members once
they hit 50! I finally realized and admitted
I was a senior during a snow storm a few years
back. It was very bad and people were being'asked
to call their senior neighbors to make sure they were
all right. I picked up my cell phone and called
my home phone. And, yes, I was OK! Hope
you're well, whatever your age, and that all
your NEWS is good.
