Brian Barnhill sent me the following:
This reminded me of Charlie and Jerry:
As we get older we sometimes 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 would make many of us wither.
Harold Schlumberg is such a person:
THIS IS A QUOTE FROM HAROLD:
"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 whisky into urine. It's rewarding,
uplifting,
satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it."
Harold should be an inspiration to all.
Thank you Brian. (I googled Mr. Schlumberg and found this site which includes at the end of the above story: “He (Mr. Schlumberg) also lends credence to the pundit who observed, “Inside every old person is a young person who wonders, What in the hell happened?’”
