How’d you like to still be working at age 91?
For most of us, the answer likely depends on what kind of work you’re doing.
Sportscaster Bob Wolff, currently of News12 Long Island, was officially honored by the Guinness Book of World Records for having the “Longest Career as a Sportscaster.”
He’s now in his 73rd year on the air in a career that began when he was a freshman at Duke University in 1939. He recently received an Emmy nomination for his sports reporting and he recently signed a two-year contract extension.   That would put him on the air to celebrate his dodranscentennial  anniversary at the mic.
Wolff also holds another distinction: he is the only person to have handled play-by-play duties in championship games for all four major sports.
“This has been a wonderful journey and I’m enjoying every moment,” Wolff says.   He adds, “It’s exciting, and basically it is not work.”
May we all find something we all enjoy enough to still want to be doing it 73 years later!
Congratulations, Bob!
Here in CT, Bob Steele was a radio legend, he was on the air for 66 years until he died at 91.
