It's actually kind of sad but the business was really all my g-father and gg-grandfather had and in reality what kept them going for so long. I'd imagine that was all stemmed from living through the Great Depression and thinking it could all disappear at any time.

My father is very much a busy body but he does have other outside interests, hobbies and projects to keep him busy so at least a partial-retirement for another 4-5 years, then full retirement after that, is something he is very much looking forward to. My mother? I'm not so sure!
