My father joined the Marines in 1940. He retired to a busy life in 1960 and is still going strong at 86, he has been retired for 48 years. I joined the Marines in 1963 and retired after Desert Storm in 1994. Anyone who retires and sits around should bite a bullet! Decided to learn to play the Alto Sax at 60 and no longer run off the dogs. Most people do not realize that your brain cellls completely regenerate as long as you make them hold new data. Use it or lose it is really true. Here in South Carolina over 60 citizens can go to college at any state owned insitution for free. If you are going to be retired as long as my parents, why not keep you mind and body active. Marines are not trained to quit and sit around anyway.

They found that those that retired to the rocking chair had a life expectancy of 10 years. Those that chose an active life style outlived them by a lot.

It has been my experience here, that guys that keep active modeling or working on their railroads, live infinately longer than their nonactive counterparts. It seems that over the years, our older modeling customers seem to greatly outlive our straight collecting customers. I have no scientific data to base that observation on, except it seems the active guys live a lot longer. You have fun too.
