What a wonderful interview, both useful and inspirational for "the wisdom years."
Your daughter is so wise, Mr. Sommer. I wrote down what she said: "Don't be sorry it's over; be glad that it happened."
As I come up on my 64th birthday and dream of retirement I was so impressed with your program! It said so much to me and made me feel so much better about my impending fate!
