Nearly 20 years ago, Art Ferber realized he could be creative without being a traditional artist. He twirled a ribbon through his fingers one day and became mesmerized by the patterns. With dowels from his workshop, he built a frame into which he laced long strips of paper, making his first small sculpture.
Now Ferber, a retired engineer at 60, creates large, three-dimensional wood, paper, and photo sculptures, wall displays that he dubs several things-abstract, geometric, mixed media. Ferber's hobby has grown into a small business. Many of his sculptures are made to order for homes with high ceilings or unusual wall space where off-the-shelf art just won't work.
We think this is a fine example of what can be accomplished when we set our mind to something.

If you're near
retirement, you may be looking forward to long afternoons of
golf, leisure vacations, and hours spent in the comfort of an
easy chair. Or you may not really "retire" at all. A lot of
us, expecting to live longer and healthier lives, will remain
in the work force for years after we reach retirement
age.
One developing trend
for those who cross the 60-year mark is to take up a new
career. For some, it's a financial necessity. For others, it's
a now - or - never time to follow a long-lost or newly
discovered dream. Starting a new career is a big step -
perhaps risky, often scary, surely demanding. But with most
family responsibilities behind us and some of our personal
demons put to rest, these new pursuits can bring some of the
most fulfilling years of our lives. Others are having such a
great time in this stage of life that they would never
consider a new career.
