"I’ve heard that they as a group tended to die in their 60’s."

Why then was my experience so different back then? We treated benzene and CCl4 with great care, a fume cupboard was esential. See my other post.

Perhaps "back in the day" means something different to you than it does to the person you're replying to.

Presumably the "42" refers to the birth year.

The commentary was about the 1960s and that was the time I was referring to.
