GIVE UP THOSE AGE-OLD CONCEPTS

ROBERT HOLCOMB

WHEREVER YOU TURN these days, you seem to be assaulted by the topics of age and aging. And these are not just family issues. They're the topic of discussion in many communities, and often featured in the local press. They're the focus of debates and conferences, national and global.

Among recent topics are the protracted retirement years ahead for post World War II "baby boomers" and the anxiety felt among seniors about their increasing age-related health needs.

But these concerns don't have to dominate people's lives. Take my friend Ed, who is a marvel. Though he is well advanced in years, he is productive, energetic, caring, and seems on the cutting edge of everything. Ed is an active Christian Scientist. He prays regularly. He is a thinker, a spiritual investigator. He knows all about current events. He looks into everything. You want to know about computers, websites, phone systems? He will explain.
