Identical twins Janet and Janice Robidoux studied electrical engineering and worked for pioneering computer companies at a time when few women had careers in STEM fields. They didn't marry or have children. But they built canoes and raced them, became competitive bowlers and tramped through all the state parks in Minnesota, searching for and photographing 600 varieties of wildflowers and 43 orchid types, almost all known orchids native to the state. If living a full, long life means having a variety of interests and being actively engaged in the world, the Robidouxes are good role models.
