Day 279: National Older Persons Day

It seems like I missed International Older Persons Day on October 1st. Well today it is National Older Persons Day. Perhaps it’s a bit of an overkill, but well, it’s indeed an important topic.

During National Older Persons Day, the intention is to take a senior somewhere. For example, to the beach or just for a walk around. This way, these people receive some attention and can enjoy the fresh air. It’s important that the elderly themselves get to choose what they want to do.

Well, the most important elder people in my life already took themselves to the beach since they are on holiday in Greece. Well deserved and while they still can they should enjoy it to the max.

So let’s make a list of other elder people. And compared to the ones in this list my parents are still young. For todays list I’m having a look at some elder favorites in showbiss land. Some of them are still active, some did retire. Most important criterium is that they are still alive.
