Gwen Lemke Contributing Editor, 60PLUS In Omaha
HEY SAY TIME flies when youâre having fun; or as my father used to say, it goes faster the older you get.
Fall is already here, AGAIN. The weather is comfortable and everything is beautiful with the jewel-like colors of the seasonâs foliage. This is my favorite time of the year. The autumn charity season is beginning, and youâre sure to find a charity you want to support in âThe Big Giveâ section of this magazine. This issue is packed with good reading about active lives of Omahaâs 60+ crowd. There are the Geschwenders, who have added aronia berry farming to their busy real estate careers. Lee Polikovâs story is a reminder that it is important to enjoy what you are doing. He takes great pleasure from his career as Sarpy County attorney, and he has no plans to retire.

Remember Johnny Rodgers? âThe Jetâ is now working as vice president of new business development at Rural Media Group. He is also busy with many other thingsâwriting a book and public speaking. He says "at 60 youâre smarter than youâve ever been." Robert Runyon talks about his plan for retirement: He is writing a memoir and taking university classes. Maybe 60 really is the new 40.
