Achievement After Sixty Five

Many reirees see age 65 as some kind of road block where everything must stop and life must ru;n down. Here are five people who did not look at it that way!

Kirk Douglas, the great movie actor, wrote two novels and an autobiography after the age of 65! He was born on December 9, 1916 with the name of Issur Danielovitch.

William Shatner, born on March 22, 1931, is the Canadian actor who played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek series. He is also a serious writer. He has written over a dozen books between 1990 and 2006!

Tony Bennett, born Aug. 3, 1926, was (some say still is) one of the best interpretive singers in the world. His second career was Painting. In 1996 when he was70 years old, a book of his painting was published!

Benjamin Franklin, born in 1706, signed the Decloration of Independence in 1776, at the age of 70!

Lester b. Pearson born April 23, 1897 was a Prime Minister of Canada. He established the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) in 1966, when he was 69 years old!

Now it's your turn!
