Frank Henderson will be sworn into his fifth term in office in the Idaho House of Representatives in Boise 
tomorrow. It also happens to be his 90th birthday which will make Frank by far the most senior member of the Idaho Legislature, not only for this upcoming session but in the history of the Idaho Legislature. In a bit of irony, the second most senior legislator to serve was the late Hilde Kellogg, also of Post Falls, who served until her 88th year. Frank Henderson has enjoyed several successful careers in his lifetime and perhaps the secret to his longevity is spending the majority of what most people would consider retirement in service to others/Kerri Thoreson, Main Street, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: When do you know that it's time to retire?
