James E Ruby Sr After retiring at 75, I found my writing for a statewide magazine on industry matters once a year fascinating. After retiring at 75, I began writing a novel and with the help of my wife as editor, have now had three books published and a forth coming up in a month. It has been six years since that adventure started, and with the new novel at the publishing stage, my editor, and I must say, harshest critic, and I are pleased my writing has improved with each novel. As an added bonus, it has now been 64 years since she said Yes!
