WIMBERLEY — Teachers become singer-songwriters, oil company executives become small business owners, and high school coaches become disc jockeys. Wimberley is filled with individuals doing great things after retirement.
Charles Elder has come a long way from just a few years ago. His chosen profession? “I’m a professional salesman, retired,” he said. In retirement, most people pursue different paths to enjoyment, whether volunteer or with little pay, paths they could not follow while making a living and earning money to live and support a family.
Elder started to enter martial arts training in the early 70s. “Bruce Lee died one week before,” Elder said. Mention karate and the only other name that rings a bell with most people is Chuck Norris.
