Subject: RE: BS: Life expectancy quiz.
91.4. I think there's been a mistake here. My Father died at 94, my Mother just celebrated her 95th birthday with 3 birthday parties, and just stopped driving this year... drove her Father's milk truck making deliveries at 13. I think that the youngest anyone has died on my Mother's side of the family (other than one of her brothers who was accidentally electrocuted) was 93 or 94. Same with my Grandparents who died well into their 90's, with the exception of my Mother's Mother who died on the operating table through gross negligence on the part of the surgeon. I just turned 67 and it is really weird to think that if I live a couple of years longer than my parents, I may still have a third of my life left. Personally, I can't take credit for any of it...
