Thank you very much for sharing these precious memories with us! It makes me sad to think how close we are to losing these living memories. Luckily we have the technology to at least record their words and thoughts.

I would have been tempted to punch the other people who were talking in the background (except for the little ones.) You gotta get more from him, if you can. Thanks so much for posting this. What a great guy!
