The story continues
I just got the August issue of the Costco Connection and thoroughly enjoyed the articles. I had to comment on the cover story, “Second chapters.” I am 94 and have had at least six second chapters and I am still having some, although not for pay.
After a career as a naval officer, I worked as an electrical and mechanical engineer in a naval shipyard. I retired from these jobs and worked on several projects for defense contractors.
I have worked as a fire inspector for insurance companies, taught basic sailing for a sailing school [and] worked as a financial advisor. I also taught my grandson how to make minor home repairs of all kinds, which we did for neighbors at reduced cost.
I’m not doing any of this anymore but still having fun and writing my autobiography, which is almost finished.

In praise of ZOA energy drinks
In the August issue, I read “Energy solutions,” which is about the zero sugar ZOA drinks that my husband loves. He loves the taste and the fact that this item has zero sugar. I hope Costco keeps the ZOA drinks regularly stocked.

Another headache trigger
I enjoyed your story “Brain pain” in the July issue. While it covered most common headache triggers, it didn’t mention sinus headaches. As a sinus sufferer myself, headaches and low- grade fevers over years are enough for me to consider surgery. The issue is real.

Much ado about packaging
I was delighted to read your excellent article “Spotlight on packaging” in the July issue of the Costco Connection. I live in a community with an active, volunteer-run recycling program. Your efforts to reduce plastic and other packaging materials are so important to all of us. Bravo! Please keep us posted as Costco continues its work in this vital area.
