Abstract

I was 12 years old when the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. One of the songs on the album was “When I’m 64,” an idyllic description of an elderly couple who wanted assurance that someone would care for them, had to budget carefully to take a trip, and looked forward to caring for grandchildren. I didn’t imagine that when I reached 64, I would be highly productive, active in my profession, expanding my knowledge and skills, and living a full life. Department Editor Denise G.
