Found a way to keep resumes and other documents that include statements
like in the past xx years, etc.   Updated.

(Thanks to dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu (David M. Jones) for getting me
started on the solution. )

This \age{mm/dd/yy} gives # of years between today and mm/dd/yy.
If dates before 1900 needed then comment out line with 1900 and
use \age{mm/dd/yyyy}.
