Dear Next Generation,

I am an 81-year-old retired pharmacist. As a pharmacist, I have held many different positions, both within the realm of pharmacy and other fields (e.g., licensed insurance agent, V.P. of pharmacy services for a public company). I helped design the first electronic claims processing system for pharmacy claims and established an electronic network of 54,000 pharmacies nationwide to process those claims. I was the first director of pharmacy for one of the providers for the Arizona AHCCCS system.
