HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN 'T LOOK THAT OLD. WELL . . . YOU 'LL LOVE THIS ONE. MY NAME IS ALICE, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL ... 'YES. YES, I DID. I 'M A MUSTANG, ' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE. WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE? ' I ASKED. HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1967.. WHY DO YOU ASK? ' YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLE-FACED, FAT-ARSED, GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED ME, 'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???'

I was looking for a thread to add this one to, and this looks to be as good a place as any. This isn't anyone I know but I think some of you will enjoy watching the video that is included in this link, of this 101 year-old woman throwing a snowball, and the thrill she got from it. You can just feel the memories that that snowball was bringing back to her.
Oh a little bit o tear fell watching that lovely lady and fabulous son - thank you, great to see @Ken Anderson
