Aha! I dare not attempt to guess the familiarity for him, but I really enjoy where your imagination takes me!

Certainly left me wanting more! On his age I'd have liked him to say, "I'm still in my 60's" suggesting that he's probably 69 but fears his 70's. But that's nit picking writing the I couldn't create with such color as you have done here - nice job! Kind of Hemmingway-ish.

Thank you Jeff - I think I worked out 60 as that would make him roughly 16 at the time of meeting his girl ...

Oh cool. Not sure why that stood out to me - I guess the specifics when much of the writing was art. Appreciate the response.
