How later courts describe this case

  • implying into plan requirement of 29 U.S.C. § 1053(a) that rights vest at normal retirement age
  • “ERISA itself does not contain a definition of ‘anniversary.’ This omission, in a complex statute replete with defined terms, suggests that the ordinary meaning of the word was intended”
