No men in my immediate family ever make it to 70.
That's a family curse hanging over me..

I'm 62...

The anomalies were my Great grandad, who got to 90 in the mid 1960s,
.. and my Dad's dad who lived to 80, and died in the early 1970s..

Their shared common factor was they both faught in the first world war...???

.. not much help to me..

Why couldn't their secret elixier have been something more do-able...?????

My only hope is that as my sister passed at 49,
maybe I'll get her spare unused allocation of years...
