Aww, my husband’s grandfather only made it to 83. And he was married TWICE! Must have been a lack of education, since he seemed like he was in good health until he suddenly died.

I’m good on all of those except for the education. What about you?

John: I am not sure about the grip but I do have the education factor.

Dimes: I guess these factors may not guarantee everybody live to 85, but only increase the likelyhood. In any case, a good life style is important.
