Good on him. The world needs more botanists. The safety objection is interesting. Does the university fear being sued if he falls down the stairs or has a heart attack? Why would his age make any difference to the probability of a compo. claim?

I would be lucky to reach 102, never mind keep on working. Good on him, if that is what floats his boat.:D
