THE BATTALION
Coll*** Station, Tcxaa Wednesday, July ■*», 1972
A&M retirees remain active
M I can’t put my finder on it, but for some reason I find
it very difficult to concentrate when I'm studying!**
Retirement doesn't always
mean a fellow Is ready to han*
'em up.
The spare of many retired
AAM personnel never touch the
pe* behind the kitchen door.
The over-66 set keeps the row
el to the flank in travel, consult
ing, hobbies and activities that
contribute to the communities,
state and, in instances, countries
other than the U.8.A.
Retirees put in considerable
time and effort to service proj
ects, throu*h clubs and organisa
tions.
“My pace is slower,** admitted
one gray-haired individual, “but
I cant bear just sitting around.”
The clean, orderly impression
Bryan and College Station have
on visitors is abetted by senior
citisens. They pitch in individ
ually and collectively on beauti
fication projects.
Their homes acquire garden
magazine manicures and coif
fures. with time available to do
the myriad grounds and home
upkeep tasks the 8-to-6 routine
denied.
Ripping the traditional fishing-
pole, rocking-chair picture of re
tirement are people like John T.
Smith, C. C. Doak, Roy M. Sny
der, Carl E. Sandstedt, and oth
ers.

THE MEANING IS THE SAME, even though the message is not quite the way we're
used to seeing it. This “No Parking” sign seems to have been sabotaged ^somehow,
but that won't stop violators from receiving tickets. (Photo by Kenneth Stroebel)
