Setting the Scene:  
This ginger ale is an old-fashioned thirst quencher that Barney Gillespie, my 90-  
year-old father, concocted more than 20 years ago. He’s been drinking it almost every  
day ever since. It’s tasty, and hey, maybe it’s a longevity tonic as well!  
And as Dad says, “It’ll do you good as well as help you!”  
Excerpt from From Old to Gold: How to Start and Run an Antiques Business:  
Antiquing for me is, first and foremost, fun. When I say antiquing is fun, I mean  
that if I didn’t enjoy it (the hunt, the chase, the thrill of the find), I wouldn’t do it! My pot  
of gold isn’t just a bunch of money but also being happy in my work.
