In reply to the discussion: Dear people over 80... [View all]NJCher
(35,650 posts)5. Beautiful post
I needed to read something like this.
Last week I learned an old and dear friend died at 92. He was really special: a socialist millionaire. He beat em at their own game, singlehandedly with a genius level IQ.
I didnt get to see him toward the end. How I would love to know where that mind went in the last years of his journey.

I'm so glad to know someone out there feels this way about the old. I don't know many who do.
