Lilly Port's suitcase doesn't spend much time in her closet. In the first half of this year, Lilly traveled to Israel, Turkey, Indonesia, Singapore and Australia. Her love of adventure began early in life. In 1941, she left Vienna with a doctorate in economics to come to the United States, where she became a radio talk-show host and author of one of the first books written to empower people with disabilities. Lilly owns an apartment in a retirement community—but says she's too young to live there. She still lives independently in her own house, enjoying regular walks and exercise classes at the community center.
