Susan told me about this inspirational film by Jan Tenhaven, titled Autumn Gold.
It’s about European athletes, ages 93 to 100 competing in the World Masters Championships.

Ageing
John Turner at age 67
This well known photo of John Turner at age 67, was taken in 1985, by Etta Clark.
I first saw this photo when I was twenty-one, working as a fitness appraiser and personal trainer. A co-worker plastered it onto our client motivation board. I had no idea a person could age this well. The impact of this photo has left a lasting impression on me.
Today, this photo adorns a spot on the wall tucked behind the door where I practice my chin-ups. I take a peek at him from time to time as a reminder – this photo still takes my breath away.
There is another photo of him at age 79, but I was unable to attach it here. He doesn’t look much different!
