I met Mr. O.L. Duncan when my son and I were driving to Santa Fe in July, 2007. He was working at the T and M Truckstop, a tiny gas station along Interstate 40 in the Texas panhandle just west of the town of Shamrock. Mr. Duncan told me that he retired in the mid 1980's but decided to work at the gas station to have something to do. He insisted that most retired men just sit around "Twiddling their thumbs", which he believed was bad for one's health. He told me that those who twiddle their thumbs all day tend to die within a few years of retirement, and he credited his continued work for his long life and good health. He is 80 years old.
