Photograph by David McLain

Practicing for the Nalcrest softball team (whose players range in age from 55 to 83), Don "Elvis" Abney wears a shirt adorned with the name of a longtime sponsor, the Johnson Funeral Home. "It's good business for him," says Abney, "because that's where we're going when we leave here."
