Most people plan to retire by the time they're in their 90s, if they're lucky enough to make it that long.
Not these guys.
We used federal records to find the oldest federal judges still sitting on the bench.
These judges are considered senior judges, which means they usually only work part-time.
Senior judges handle roughly 15 percent of the federal courts' workload annually, according to uscourts.gov.
We repeatedly contacted these judges' clerks for pictures of the judges. Unfortunately, in some cases, the clerks never responded or refused to release pictures.
Judge John William Ditter Jr. is 90 years old.
Birth date: Oct. 19, 1921
Ditter serves as a judge for the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. President Richard Nixon nominated him for the spot in 1970.
During World War II, Ditter served as a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
He assumed senior status in October 1986. Judge Ditter decided a case as recently as last month, when he refused to dismiss a $100 million oil contract dispute, according to Law360.
Judge John Thomas Curtin is 90 years old and will turn 91 in less than a month.
Birth date: August 24, 1921
Thomas serves as a judge for the U.S. District Court in the Western District of New York. He nabbed his spot on the bench in 1967 after being nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Before becoming a judge, Curtin served in the United States Marine Corps during WWII.
Curtin achieved senior status in July 1989. He issued a ruling as late as last month, in a Niagara Falls Superfund cleanup case, according to Law360.
Judge Solomon Blatt Jr. is 90 years old. But he too will be 91 in less than a month.
Birth date: August 20, 1921
Solomon sits on the bench of the U.S. District Court in the District of South Carolina. He received his spot in 1971 after it was vacated by former judge Donald Stuart Russell.
Blatt served on a destroyer that participated in anti-submarine warfare during World War II.
In 1981, Blatt presided over a desegretation suit filed against public schools in Charleston, S.C. brought by the federal government, according to The New York Times.
He assumed senior status in May 1990.
