At 61 I'm not even close to being the oldest one at work.

Hair's grey........white actually and I really don't care. There are no kids in my line of work so we never notice the difference untill we leave the lab areas and wander out into the rest of the company.

The company................well, they have just begun to notice that all the engineers and technicians in the prototype development area are shall we say....ancient. It first this was a joke untill they started to hunt for replacements........

It would appear that with a (very) few exceptions modern society is not raising any hands on replacements for the old ones. The younger PHD's and engineers coming our way have to be protected from themselves when it comes time to handle real tools and hardware. (don't get me wrong...some are really good with theory and simulations).

Am I getting old.............na. I'm just getting more valuable.
