X-Message-Number: 11868 From: Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 13:18:02 EDT Subject: AOL Poll on Aging Hi All, Thought this might be of interest to those seeking a longer life. It isn't scientific, just interesting, particularly the main reason for NOT wanting to live to be 100. Looks like people aren't too worried about running out of money for the future!
