90 Years Old and Still Going Strong

by Timberry on October 1, 2009

My dad turns 90 today. He plays golf or tennis almost daily, he’s on the web a lot, follows the stock market as if it were a fulltime job, and he’s very sharp on politics and public policy. That’s him at right during World War II.

He is a role model and encouragement for me and other baby boomers as we pass 60 and continue aging. 

And dad has something to tell us all about relationships too. After his wife (my mom) died when they were both in their 60s, he married again at age 69. He and his wife Liz had a 20th anniversary earlier this year.  That’s them at right, taken a couple years ago. Both of them were then in their 80s.
