Letter: Senior Moments

I read with interest Fred Steinberg’s piece “Long Island’s Saltwater Fountain of Youth”(The Weekend, Sept. 17-23).

 

I also experienced, to my delight, a similar “seniors are free” encounter. Fifteen to 20 years ago, when I was 55 or 60 years old, I went to renew my pass to the parks of Nassau County.

(I’d previously paid $30 for the pass that was renewable in three years.)

 

The lady at the window told me it was only $15. I asked how long it would be until I had to renew.

 

“You are a senior, right?”

 

I said yes, and she told me I wouldn’t ever have to renew it.  

 

Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy reading hometown news.
