The Pension Plan

Retirement isn't for sissies. Two old retirees decide they need a new pension plan.

75 yrs old. Korean War Vet. Retired. Suffers from Arthritis. Widower: Wife Ruby, deceased after fighting cancer for 10years. Treatments and doctor bills took all their finances. Had to take out a second mortgage. Retirement package was invested in company bonds that went belly up, now tries to get by on Social Security. Drives 10 year old pickup truck. Balding on top, brown eyes. Still gets around pretty good. Good friend, Ron Maxwell, another widower, meets with him for coffee every morning at their coffee shop hangout. They stop in at their VFW (lifetime members) for beer and cards about every day. They both dumpster dive for cans and bottles which they redeem to get money for their beer at the VFW. Robert paints landscapes that he sells at a small shop in a strip mall. Makes barely enough to pay for materials.
