Thanks for writing on this important topic, Kathleen. I'm retired now, but I was certainly aware of ageism during my career as a biologist for Calif. Dept. of Fish & Game. For example, I waited until I had advanced as far as I wanted to in management before I stopped coloring my hair and let it go grey. And a funny thing happened after that: The man who had interviewed me for that job, took me aside and said in an angry hiss, "I can't believe you're that old!" I smiled to myself thinking, ageism is alive and well. Had I actually been younger, I don't believe I could have handled the responsibility of that job which I held for 14 years. As some of us know, life experience and maturity are valuable!
