Initially, I thought it might be a function of how stressful the work there might have been. But my wife looked at it and compared it to her father's age of retirement and death and it was pretty much dead on....no pun intended.
If you'd like a copy of the chart, just PM me with your email. I had it hanging on our fridge the last year or so before I decided to take an early retirement.
