Not All Elderly Are Healthier, Wealthier

Dick Turpin’s column “As America Ages, Elderly Seen as Healthier, Wealthier” (Feb. 12) was right on target. Articles such as this go far to dispel some of the myths about older Americans. Actually, what is required is an attitudinal change about the aging when the facts demonstrate that there is health, wealth and wisdom in force. SHERRY TERZIAN
