I hope you are the right one for the Age Distrbution list as it seems
several may be checking it out. When I wrote my Introduction I merely stated
I was 86 years old (or young depending on the days latest problems). I was
born on Mar. 18, 1910 in Toronto but escaped the place in 1915 as the
polution was killing my father - or so said the doctor. Advised a farm life
and he lived to 89 in poor health most of the time. Mother made it to 94 my
great grandparent to 88 and her mother to 89. Those were hard times as they
came by sail from Scotland about 1846 to settle in Hamilton when the city
had just become one with 5,000 inhabitants. They bought land only two blocks
from the centre of the city in 1850 from the original subdivision and it was
in the family for 75 years. I lived there too for three years. Growing up in
the dirty thirties and then WW2 I did not get really started until I was
well past 30 and have been catching up ever since.
Looks like most fo the group are in their 40s & 50s which is a good age
to start doing something different. My wife and I travelled a lot then and
visited iris gardens all over Ont. and the east coast. It was a great time
to be on the road. I hope I don't wind up as the only one in the class of 80
as the CIS used to have a fair number in that group. However none had
computers and I have been told the class of 80 today is not very strong on
computers. I'm having trouble right now with this new one and it may be some
time before this message gets sent. I get several differet error messages
but no advise on how to correct them.
