GENESEE, Colo. — Not everyone is able to live to 91 years old, let alone release a 21st book, participate in drama class, live alone and navigate Colorado's winding mountain roads.

Greenberg said she has even experimented with backing up the driveway, instead of having to back out — as there is no way to turn around once you're committed. After the two got married, they moved to Colorado where a friend recruited her to join the Lookout Mountain Fire Department.The two became some of the first women on the force. But they didn't get there without some pushback. Greenberg joked the leaders back then argued,"people with boobs should not be working fire equipment."

"Fifty years later, they're celebrating Genesee 50th . They had her up and they invited me and we reconnected. And in a couple of days, we're going to have lunch again. We have lunch with each other," Greenberg said. That eventually led her to also teach fiction writing at Colorado School of Mines — a class she was more than qualified to teach as she's published numerous books.

While many people desperately seek a plan for their future, going without has, in many ways, been a factor to Greenberg's success.
