Breaking into Fashion

Ruby Fowler, age 88, didn't like the clothes she was finding when she went shopping, reports AARP Bulletin (publication for us oldsters over 50.) So this retired New Zealand schoolteacher started her own clothing line, with $3000 in capital. She calls it 45+ Frocks for the Mature. Perhaps when she's older she'll start a new label for the aged.

Don't Get in Her Way

People magazine reports that Sen. John McCain's 95-year-old mother is traveling the country in a van with his mother and daughter, campaigning for him to become president. In the course of the campaign effort, four years ago (when she was 91), she was driving to L.A. and realized she had only 300 miles to go and thought: well, I can make this today. Shortly afterward, she was pulled for driving 118 mph. If this woman would watch her speedometer, she could be a model of vitality for us all.
