Description

At age 68, Larry Pontius had a life expectancy counted in single-digit days. Even the smallest things reminded him of his own mortality -- commercials for a football season he might never see; pictures of places he might never get to visit. Then came a life-changing call.

    What are you going to do in the future? 

    Well, we reckon, come back to Oz and let's go surfing!  The Tola's and Pointius' sharing a few waves at Noosa - how's that! 

    Great to see you up and about Big Fella, and much love from our Family to yours - keep doing amazing things, Chris.

    This video was like a breath of fresh air...and then some.

    You--and Harriet, too--are inspirations to us all.

    Congratulations, LP...I look forward to continuing episodes
    of "Lung Life to Life" on GrowingBolder.com.
