Donald Crowdis

Thanks to Lisa, I have started reading the writings of a Nonagenarian who "ponders life, the universe, and aging."

Don Crowdis even has a short entry on Wikipedia. An excerpt from his entry:
...the first host of the popular CBC Television series The Nature of Things. For 25 years he was Curator, then Director, of the Nova Scotia Museum (1940-1965). After World War II, Crowdis spearheaded an effort which led to the construction of the Halifax Memorial Library in 1951 (now the Spring Garden Road Memorial branch of the Halifax Public Libraries system). Beginning in 1965, Crowdis was a member of the executive team that oversaw the establishment of what is now the Ontario Science Centre.

Hey, you really do read my emails. Yes! Isn't Donald the best? I want to embrace life with so much gusto when I'm his age and more importantly right now.
