So when he was 75, he retired from business with enough money tn the bank to keep him "the rest f my life" in the leisurely style to which he had been accustomed. At tO, he bought an airplane for one last fling' that took him cross the country and even into Mexico and South America. "I figured three or four more years would take me out," he explains. The journey lasted three years, and when McCullough returned he was still going strong. So he went off again on another "last fling." He lived to see 90, then 95. The last flings" continued. Then finally his money ran out. Instead of the sprawling 2,000 acre plantation home near Mont gomery where be once lived, he spends his declining days in a boarding house, at $50 monthly Id age pension check his sole in come.
