DENVER — At 96 years old, most people's ideal retirement would not feature standing out in 20-degree weather.
However, this is nothing new for Merrill and Dorie Fie, who spent Friday afternoon collecting for the Salvation Army for a 67th consecutive time.
This was at the King Soopers on University Hill, where their whole family is involved now — including even their great grandchildren, Cooper and Nora.
Just this year alone, the family has raised more than $174,000 for the Salvation Army, through both online and in-person efforts.
"This brings back a lot of memories," said Merrill, who turns 95 in a few months. "But it also brings back recollections of helping a lot of people."
