What do ya think?<br />I never realized when I was young that so many of those people were born in the 1800's...did you? Now I wished I would have asked more questions and showed more of an interest in their childhoods. Although, I do remember asking some of my relatives and that generation was so NOT self-absorbed (as opposed to today) that they couldn't imagine why anyone would be interested. They were a great generation....I wonder if after we're gone if they'll say that about ours?

My parents were young as farmers in comparison to the large proportion of older people back then that were around them. Link Fisher and his wife were one of the oldest, like the American Gothic looking couple. When my parents went to his funeral Link's name was actually Lincoln. No one knew that and smiled when they learned of it. L.
