Showing A OFF Life-long skiers still at it decades after performing in ski shows STORY BY DAN FIELD

ge is only a number. We’ve heard that axiom before, maybe even said it ourselves as we reach another birthday milestone. But Larry and Nanette Erickson and Charlotte Morrow, all of whom live on The North Shore of the Lake of the Ozarks, know it’s true. They are spry, lively septuagenarians who are avid water skiers when time, weather conditions and Lake conditions permit. Larry and Nanette, who live in Jackson Branch Cove at about the 3-mile marker, cast hopeful glances to the sky on a recent overcast, sometimes-rainy day. Their hope was by early the next morning conditions would be right to uncover their 2000 Malibu Sunsetter, don their wetsuits and take to the water.
