Calgary Herald stories of retirement activities

From the Calgary Herald newspaper, three stories that we loved showing the diversity of people in that phase of life that is usually called retirement:

• Arlene Price, 76, featured in the Woman of Vision column. Arlene with her husband Stan founded Sunterra, a unique integration system within the meat industry, which she continues to own and manage with her four of her six sons.
  
  She supports her community by publishing a monthly community newsletter, arranging parties for grandmothers and grandchildren and picnics for seniors at her home.

• Minoru Saito, 71, a Japanese sailor, became the oldest sailor to finish a solo, non-stop, around the world voyage in June 2005. He made it in 244 days and joked with reporters, saying he failed to break the 180 day record.

• Vera Tursi, 80, was still operating an escort service when police arrested her in an undercover operation. She ran the operation out of her 2 bedroom apartment, where men would call her and she sent women out to them.
