I've Been Accused Of Being Old Before My Time More Than Once. It's True That I've Always Felt An Affinity For, And Been Comfortable Around, Older People. I Attribute This To A Childhood Spent Around My Grandparents - And Even A Great-grandparent Or Two. I Wouldn't Trade Those Experiences For Anything.
