CLEVELAND -- Ever wonder why some people age better than others?
The Cleveland Foundations' Successful Aging program has set up several lifelong learning centers to find out, NewsChannel5 reported.
Through the program, people like Judith Fischer are being studied.
She's 70, but she just started a new, full-time job.
"Lifelong learning is so important," Fischer said. "It gives you a sense, an attitude of youth, of excitement, of challenges, of motivation."
