As we get older, we may doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world.

It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Sclumberg, 85, is such a person.

I've often been asked, "What do you do now that you're old and retired?" I tell them, "Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I do that gives me the most satisfaction is turning beer, wine, Scotch, bourbon, and margaritas into urine. I'm pretty damn good at it, too!"
