Episode 2001: Hanging Up the Keys
As the boomer generation begins turning 65 this year, one of the many issues it faces is driving: When is it time to hang up the keys? While 65 is, in most cases, a little young for most to seriously consider giving up driving, millions of Americans over 50 have parents in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, and for them the issue is front and center. Segment Three—Ron Reagan, My Father at 100.
