I turn 73 in May and can relate to anyone having age problems. I stopped officiating football after 40 seasons, 32 in CNY and 8 here, because I felt I was a drag on the crews. I could no longer sprint down to spot balls after long gainers and it just seemed that I could no longer keep up. I still umpire high school softball and had a short season last year due to an asthma problem. I know the end for that may come soon too, but I'll continue as long as I'm enjoying it.
