Jonathan Vance, Senior Citizen

Coinciding with his birthday this past week, Jonathan received a nice letter from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) informing him that he is now eligible for membership in that great organization of people 50 years and older.  Of course, Jonathan is elated to be associated with this generation of people, some of whom once argued, "Never trust anyone over thirty."

Jonathan is presently busying himself with important AARP-related issues, including Social Security, the prescription drug benefit, and Matlock reruns.
