I am 81 years young and retired since 1997. Spent a few years in my youth in the US Navy. Then 37 years in aircraft maintenance at United Airlines. I have Multiple Myeloma and am in my 9th year of chemo therapy weekly. I am about to start Model Shipways 1/96 scale USS Constitution. I have wanted to do this for years. I expect it to take many, many hours to complete, but I have nothing but time in my hands. Wish me luck
