Involvement keeps the mind sharp.

Having a purpose helps focus the mind and keep elders from getting lazy.  Continuing to be active in the things that interest us is a technique for keeping the mind sharp and life interesting.  Often as we get older we begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world.  It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that serve as an inspiration for us all. Harold Schlumberg is one such a person: Harold says: "I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?' Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whiskey into urine.  It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling.  I do it every day and I really enjoy it." Harold is an inspiration to us all. Stay busy, my friends. Michael
