My name is Joan Spector and I’m 86 1/2 years old. Don’t feel it and don’t think I look it. Retired from the public relations world, I still stay very active volunteering as well as writing my own blog. Also still get paid (!) for writing for various clients. Thanks to the internet you can stay very busy. The attached photo was taken this past April on a trip to Paris with a gentleman friend.

Hi Joan,
I’m on the cusp of turning 80, looking for role models for that decade and you are truly an inspiration! I’d love to read your blog if you tell us how to access it
Also, I hope when I’m 86 I will be taking a trip to Paris with a gentleman friend …
Not only do you look fabulous, everything you do sounds great. Especially Paris with the gentleman.
You really do look great. Paris, OOh La La.
Hi, Joan…any relation to Arlen? I am 85 1/4 LOL !!!! Have traveled most of the world….my travel buddy of 16 years recently married….I would love to meet for coffee and compare notes…
Thanks everyone for your kind words! No, I’m not related to Arlen Spector. His wife, Joan, bakes pies. I can’t boil water. If any of you would like to read my blog, go to http://www.musingsbyjoan.blogspot.com. Or send me your email and I will add you to my blogfriends list. My latest has to do with “The Greatest” when he fought in Miami in 1964. I was there and it was amazing.
The other Joan S on ElderChicks was married to Arlen. Her last name is Specter.
Good Evening Joan, >^..^<
Your cats are beautiful! Are they a pure breed or no? Very different coloring than I usually see.
As for your age, God Bless You… Getting around so well as to fly to Paris and probably walk a lot! I must confess I tapped on my screen to bring your face into a more clear view and the tight focus I am looking for cannot be done. However, You look just fine for 86! And I love it that you still do your hair dark too, well You "Go Girl"! One day I'll get my picture up here too, but I hardly have any of me…So hubby is going to have to help me out on this as usually I am the photographer. Oh I almost forgot why I wrote! Please sign me up for your 'musings', I love living vicariously! And I like to hear other people's stories!

Bobby, coming from you, that pleases me very much. I am a long time fan of Elder Chicks as you well know. Think I’ve been with you almost from the beginning.
