If you found her inspirational how about Doris Eaton Travis she's 105 and still kicking up her heels on broadway

just proves if you're passionate you don't have to retire and stop doing the things you love... she's very inspirational.. I want to grow old gracefully like her!

"I call myself a maker of things. I don't call myself an industrial designer, because, among other things, industrial designers want to make novel things. Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept."
Awesome...
