It still amazes me what one person’s life can encompass. I can remember when Harry Truman was President and I actually met Winston Churchill. I knew people who could remember the Civil War. I knew World War II veterans when they were still young. It goes on and on, and I could live another 30 years.

I remember the ice cream man who came down my street. He was an old white hair man whose name was “Scotty” and he was a veteran of “The Great War.” Not WW2 which our own dads were veterans of, but The War To End Wars, The War Against The Kaiser.
