I think about the finance threads here and people saving hard for early retirement.
This guy has tons of money, could have retired whenever he wanted but is still at it at age 77.
Doing a semi-retirement now, I guess.

Most people don't like their jobs and look forward to retirement. Nike was his life.
Yes. It really helps to like what you do.
Would you rather have a job you really like and keep working through your 60s and 70s or have enough money to retire at age 60 and never work again?
Glad the wsj got Bowerman's name right - the AP story picked up by a bunch of outlets called him Bob

His job was what the retirement most people dream for.
There is a difference between being the boss and not being the boss when it comes to job satisfaction.
