Well said, Jane. I too am 75 and still feel I have a lot to offer -- but in a different way from my youth. I think one of the most important things people our age can do is give back in any ways we choose. Mentoring is one noble way.

As for Mr. Biden, he may have been dragged kicking and screaming to this endpoint, but he did finally have the courage and wisdom to do the right thing. I think history will commend him for his service to his country and praise him for a highly patriotic act.
