Re: Seniors Getting It On

Absolutely, we used to put out a magazine which
was aimed at the preservation of local history,
and I was in on many interviews with elders.
No lack of folks in their nineties getting it on.

I have written before of Homer Arnett, who in
his 90's, still had a girlfriend, and had a
subscription to Playboy magazine. Of course, he
swore by a shot of whiskey every morning the
first thing his feet hit the floor.

My neighbor, Emmet Burke, was also 90 and his
wife, Zola, was 89. He and she still slept
together in their full size bed, and he could
still make her blush. He was a great marriage
counselor and I think it was his encouragement
which helped my then boyfriend choose to propose
to me. I've never forgotten them though and the
quality of their relationship. They were both
very happy people, and they had l1 kids, all but
the last one, at home. Zola, nor Emmet, had been
hospitalized their whole life except to have their
last child. Truly, they both were an example of how
to keep the humor and happiness in a relationship.

blessings,
Zoe
