Thanks for all the nice comments. The article was written about 5 years ago, but I had never seen it before yesterday. I was looking for something else on the internet and ran across it. My dad is a month shy of 78 now. When he retired from racing, he got back into boats. He had a sailboat he kept in Wilmette Harbor on Lake Michigan and a Cruiser he kept on the Mississippi River... But, he has now sold both of those and is content with nice sports car or two to drive on warm sunny days... He adapted to retirement from work well, but did not adapt to retirement from his racing and boating activities so well. The competitive nature he possesses is still alive - he's hell on the grandkids when the video games come out!
