Husband. Father. Grandfather. Still Speed. The nickname made more sense several decades ago.

The Good Old Days
They’ve still got it. Whatever “it” was.
They've still got it. Whatever “it” was.
Young at Heart. The Body? Not So Much.
Ray “Speed” Wilkins and his buddies have spent decades getting older.
They've taken it remarkably well.
Mostly by refusing to believe it happened.
Speed, Flash, and Bull are in their mid-sixties.
But old? Please.
They're the Young Bucks. Always have been. There's still golf to play, adventures to have, gadgets to master, and absolutely no reason they shouldn't be able to do everything they did thirty years ago.
Their knees have declined to comment.
The Gang
Diane Wilkins
Ray's wife and the one person immune to the legend of Speed Wilkins. She knew him before the legend had editorial control.
Frank “Flash” O’Malley
Ray's old friend and lifelong rival. Neither Speed nor Flash remembers exactly when the competition started. Neither is willing to lose it.
Bob “Bull” Henderson
Good friend, good company, and usually the first one laughing—which is unfortunate when Ray is trying to make a serious point.
