How can the National Guide Association instill in youngsters a respect for the elder generation when they dismiss volunteers like Pat as 'past it'?Zoe Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13874072843129299130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931411069845718949.post-55528354136797367092007-04-26T01:13:00.000-07:002007-04-26T01:13:00.000-07:002007-04-26T01:13:00.000-07:00As someone who is approaching 65 myself, I have a lot of sympathy with Pat Ely.

As someone who is not myself in the first flush of youth, it does seem crazy to dispense with someone's services because of some arbitrary age limit.<BR/>BobBob Egertonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292622594027041280noreply@blogger.com
