George

This is my friend and neighbor George. He is 89. We celebrated his wife Charlotte's 89th birthday on Saturday. George still lives at home (alone) and Charlotte lives in a skilled nursing care facility.

Both of them are in that stage of life where memories take precedence over dreams. For George, it was his years as a volunteer fireman which very frequently take priority in his recollections (although I have never heard him describe any fire he fought).

George & Charlotte are pretty much alone in terms of friends and family, which is a shame since they are such good people. George loves to tell little jokes and he is generous as can be, but perhaps a little forgetful at time. He has a hard time trimming his hair at the back so one of these days he will be sporting a pony tail. May have to re-blip him at that stage.
