The first surveying firm I worked for had their owner work, and was in the office up to 90 years old ( http://www.krullsurveying.com/ ).

Must be something good in that Indiana water.

I'd like to note that Mr. Vollmer is wearing a) a hat that shades his ears and neck, and b) a long sleeved collared shirt. Plus, they are all clean. For both the professional attire and long term sun exposure fronts.?ÿ Those of us that wish to be AGL at 102, even if not practicing our profession, should take note.?ÿ
