Good point, and I had thought about that. He's fit for his age but of course you're not going be any sort of tough guy past age 90.

I don't what to make of much of this. My mother may be misunderstanding various parts of it. There's a touch of Peyton Place in the mix, if I didn't like and admire this fellow this could be a real trip for me.

BTW, something that might interest you, he's a WW2 vet, served the whole time in a hospital in CO, IIRC, as a surgeon's assistant. Not sure which branch. Not combat certainly but I suspect that a good number who had been in combat appreciated his service while in hospital.

He's in WA DC now, or perhaps just returned. He went on that 'Honor Flight' program. They were glad to have him, assigned him a younger vet as traveling companion. Apparently not too many WW2 vets can still walk very well.
