While this *does* qualify for sainthood, I'm still not sure
why she was eligible for full retirement at at 52 -- fully
13 years before the rest of society.

That would have added up to 84 "points" at Honeywell when last I worked
there (1995) - I think it's still figured that way. One more year (2
points) and she would have qualified for full retirement. Many corporate
retitrement plans are similar.
