Profiles include: - Mike Cerre, a former ABC News correspondent and Good Morning America contributor. - Neil Young on a reunion tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. - Frances Mayes restoration of a house and her life in Italy for her bestseller "Under the Tuscan Sun." - former Indiana Governor Joe Kernan running a minor league baseball team - Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart composing a soundtrack for the Smithsonian and a Deadheads guide to "Going Down the Road." - Cindy Joseph, a top fashion model for Ford Models at 59, defying age barriers in the workplace. - Barry Meinerth, a retired TIME, Inc. executive, following his passion for animals on a Vermont Alpaca farm. - Bill Pinkney giving something back by sailing around the world solo to inspire inner-city students.
