Average retiring age for officials??

[SWFLguy]

I just turned 70 the other day. This season will be my 40th---32 in CNY and 8 here. I've decided this will be my last season for football. The main reason is that I have sensed that I am no longer able to move as quickly as I used to getting to the spot where I will place the ball for the next play. I always thought that I would be able to know when it was time to "hang them up". Well this is it. I have two spring scrimmages here in May. I hope the assignor will give me a couple of competitive varsity games and some "fun" freshman and/or JV games in the fall. Then that will be it. What a great ride I've had. I had the pleasure of working 25 play-off and intersectional games in the Syracuse Carrier Dome. I worked the All Star Game in CNY and the All Star Game here a couple years ago. Worked with some great guys over the years--and some very BIG games and some not so big. Life has been good to me !
