    When Mr. Carl Craft nearly died from a brain hemorrhage, he and his wife Dawn reviewed their bucket list. Carl wanted to travel, Dawn said she wanted to go to medical school.

    “He thought I was crazy,” she said.

    Now though, Dawn Zuidgeest-Craft proudly carries a doctorate in medicine after finishing as the school’s oldest-ever graduate at 72 years old.

      I need an application to professional school about as much as I need a hole in my head. Respect for anyone who can get out of bed at that age. But for most of us who are old and getting older, windows of opportunities have closed or are closing because of exigent and heath factors. Maybe we should celebrate the normal as well as the extraordinary. Too many random factors enter into such outcomes as this to look at them as an ideal, in my opinion.

        Good for her. Dear Abby once had a writer ask if he should go to med school or not because it would take seven years and he’d be 42 when he graduated. She replied by asking how old he would be in seven years if he did not go. Wisdom.

          I am deeply triggered by the fact this article refers to 72 years as “old”…
