Swinging nonagenarian

What an inspiration to read the Dec. 28 story At 97, he’s forever young.

Tony Snetro plays slow-pitch softball with the Young Viejos in Coral Gables, where the average age of the members is 78.

Working for a healthcare institution, I know firsthand the importance not only of exercise and good nutrition, but also of family and community support. Snetro is an inspiration to all of us and has shown that age is only a number. He is as young as his zest for life.
