US: A 73-Year Old Gives Basketball a Second Shot (December 9, 2008)

Ken Mink might look like your average 73-year-old man, but do not let that fool you. His appearance has distinct qualities typical to that of an older person. However, he has qualities that many older people lack in their lives: perseverance, motivation and activity.

Older persons should not be discouraged by their age but instead should learn from older people like Mink and stay healthy by keeping active and thus leading more fulfilling lives.
