19. I know Dorli and she is a fiery one!

...of you think old age "settles" people Dorli is one to show you this is not always true and that if other seniors were half as active as she is, they would find a rich life with lots of admirers instead of sitting in front of the TV feeling abandoned.

I work as an activist for low income people. Dorli generously gave my organization a computer and printer that is now being used by a family of 4 kids who needed one badly. As someone soon turning 60 who is often told much the same as she is being told to retire, I am inspired by her to keep going with my activism for low income families. I love that woman!
