"In Prime Time, Marc Freedman introduces us to older adults who are making the most of the last third of their lives: as volunteers teaching children; as part-time medical staff serving low income families; as vital members of their communities. By recounting the history of retirement in America, introducing us to an inspiring group of older Americans, and describing with warmth and humor how they have made a difference - in others lives as well as their own - Freedman lays the groundwork for a restructuring of American society."--Jacket.
