I just got the August issue of the Costco Connection and thoroughly enjoyed the articles. I had to comment on the cover story, "Second chapters." I am 94 and have had at least six second chapters and I am still having some, although not for pay.

After a career as a naval officer, I worked as an electrical and mechanical engineer in a naval shipyard. I retired from these jobs and worked on several projects for defense contractors.

I have worked as a fire inspector for insurance companies, taught basic sailing for a sailing school [and] worked as a financial advisor. I also taught my grandson how to make minor home repairs of all kinds, which we did for neighbors at reduced cost.

I'm not doing any of this anymore but still having fun and writing my autobiography, which is almost finished.
