Chester Arthur Reed at age 95 decided to call it quits after working 37 years in the postal office. Isn't that amazing? He still works at the age of 90's? I just can't imagine how he did it.

Reed accumulated 3,856 hours — nearly two years — of sick leave for not missing a shift in 37 years. Not taking a sick leave in the entire time made me "wow"!

Reed believes in drinking alkaline water, to minimize acids that can damage digestive system, and eating sandwiches made "with a lot of mayonnaise and get a big slice of onion" because the vegetable is closely related to garlic, one of the healthiest foods you can eat, he said.

His age is not a hindrance to some adventures. Every year he and his son visit a continent. He is planning another trip that will include Moscow, Helsinki and Dublin, and a second parasailing adventure in Rio de Janeiro. He last parasailed at age 93.

Reed lived a wonderful and adventurous life and he is trying to reach the age of 100!
