Hi Lew,
Great article! My Mom is 93. My Dad would be 93 as well, but he died at the age of 89. Yes, they had tough childhoods, but they sure were optimistic, hard workers. Mom still is. My parents came from nothing. Dad had to borrow a neighbor’s car in a snowstorm in Minneapolis to take Mom to the hospital when I was born. They worked hard and became millionaires. But they never lost their roots and common touch. They never got arrogant.
People like my parents won’t come again for a long time if ever.
