think as we get older (59 for me) we feel the same way you mention. I
have relatives that seem to have not changed at all since I was a kid; they
were always old! You look at things differently as you get older, you

Very sorry to hear that. I corresponded with him some time ago; he seemed
very friendly and willing to help
