I was thinking the same throughout the interview. Pretty sharp fellow for his age.

My great grandma was 105, 1900 to 2005, she was Armenian and lost all her family in 1915 and was captured, made a slave for an officer and his family, before she escaped to Jeruselam and came to Canada on a refugee program that let 1000 Armenians into Canada. I was born in 1988 and got to know her very well. Her son my Bubba died in 1994 at 74, and she was the only reason I know so much about him and our family history. She was sharp as a tack until she died in her sleep on night. Her husband my Great- Bubba as I called him was 99 when he died. It's so amazing to sit with someone this old and just soak up the knowledge.

Exactly! It was James Burke, creator and host of the show, 'Connections' that made me realize this years ago. I don't remember which show it was or what the dialogue was precisely, but it was along these lines of speaking across generations. It just serves to reiterate the importance of speaking to the older generations while they are here...while you still can. I've always said to speak to and learn from your elders for they truly are travelers from another time. We see our elders from a more futuristic, forward-thinking perspective, so it's easy for us to fail looking forward rather than back. I mean to say, we take our elders' presence for granted almost by default and though we might respect and love them on the surface we fail to really know them using our full attention and imagination. Once they're gone, we find ourselves longing to know everything about them but all too late. When you delight in the company of an elder and listen to and remember what they say, living in their worlds for a little while, it can mean a great deal to them as well.

It's not too surprising really. Everything they ate was organic and natural. They lived FAR more active lives, had much better sleep and plenty of it, drank plenty of water and got plenty of sunshine, and breathed fresh air all day everyday. Conversely, we eat toxic processed trash, we're the most sedentary society in all of world history, most people get poor sleep and less than they should, we drink soda, fruit juices that are loaded with sugar, energy drinks, and most people don't drink enough water. People stay indoors most of the time, where the air is dirty and DRY, they get very little sunshine leading to most people being deficient in vitamin D which leads to deficiencies of other nutrients as well. In those days marriages were strong and they lasted, belief in God was everywhere and society had a moral compass. Today men are trashed as is the traditional family structure, people no longer look up to God but instead obsess over celebrities. Back then people read many books, they were educated and knew how to write well. They formed their own opinions. Today people are nearly illiterate and let celebrities, politicians, and their TV's tell them what to think. The differences between the two time periods are countless, and the men and women who lived during those days would be ashamed of what modern day society became.

I believe the original letters were given to a museum? By the time I had met her, she only spoke from her own recollection, her memories of their correspondence, and how he helped her & her family. How he truly made a huge difference for her family & personally her life path... I could see it when she spoke. Whatever became of these letters? Which facility, organization, etc. Only her family would know, I could look it up... that was now over 17 years ago. She was living in a retirement community with not many visits from her own family. Hence, the reason I would take extra time speaking with her when I would see her outside. This turned into several visits weekly. She was a wonderful soul, and I would sit with her with my own daughter who was in the midst of her own "wonder years" as they call them... it was a gift, call me sentimental? But it really was special. I also saw & felt what it meant to her to share this with us... like she knew there was not much time left for her to share what was her life. This is my own personal feeling on this of course, but you could see she loved it and that somehow made it so much more... It's important not to lose this, that children today understand... my apologies, understanding this response is in regard to the letters. There is more to it, though, and from my understanding He did the impossible and helped save their home. I recall her telling us of her first letter and how she thought at the time that she'd be lucky if it even got to him. The 1st letter was written as a plea, as much as a statement of the unfair goings on at that time .. her family was in peril with not much money or power, and much to her surprise, he not only answered her, but it began a relationship/friendship that she'd never dreamed possible. That would last up into her young adulthood. He became a mentor and advisor and actually helped her family in the end. I recall her getting emotional and excited all over again, seeing her eyes light up being able to still feel a glimpse of her childhood... of it all and how much he truly meant to her, and how these letters literally made a difference in her life. There were so many little things... like how excited she would get awaiting the post. How adults thought her silly, telling tall tales. Until she actually showed each and every one the letters. Her parent's didn't know what to make of it all at first, but they ended up being very proud of it... her.. and her father supported her and the first letter. Of course never thinking it would amount to anything. He gave her permission to write the first one. If I recall correctly, they wrote to each other for several years, and he advised her a lot. I got the feel that the relationship was beneficial to him as well. Staying grounded with the youth of that time. Getting a feel for that generation. I believe there were some letters regarding gardening as well. The crux of it all was that she could do anything. These letters gave her an inner strength as a young girl in that time. How elated she was that out of nowhere she became pen pals with the president of the United States. How amazing it was, I watched my own daughters eyes light up with excitement and that for me? Was beyond words. There is so much beautiful history. This taught my daughter that there is treasure in speaking with the older generations. They are walking talking history books. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how wonderful it would be in our world today. If only we could work together for future generations. That there is pure gold which many overlook and toss aside. The greatest history class to me? Is speaking with senior citizens. Some of them have amazing, incredible recollections. Some not so pretty ... My husband was a breakfast cook in his early adulthood in the early 1980s. He always recalls a veteran from the USS Indianapolis that was stuck in that water. He was one of the survivors. When he recalls it, it's difficult to speak of, this man affected him. The sharks dead eyes, black... Many of us take for granted those we see, invisible to us. Impressions of them just being old, not ever realizing the history, the life lived... so many stories... anyhow, there is so much more to the pen pal story, and as I write I am actually remembering more, I recall him giving advise for her father, and her life as a child growing up in a rural but beautiful area, but don't wish to bore anyone going on and on. I know that it was special, and I know that Teddy Roosevelt was special. Yes, we could use him here today. If only people could put their ego's aside and put down their hostility towards one another... we could do so much good, sending kind regards to all. ❤️

My great great great uncle was born in 1898 and died in 2002. It was wonderful listening to all the stories he had to tell. He didn’t even have electricity in his home until he was in his 40’s. He died when my daughter was 5 years old. Not many people knew their 4 great uncle.

Am I the only one who swoons hearing these voices? This is the tone, cadence, and verbage of the voices of my great grandfathers era. I didn't grow up with one, but this is how I imagine he'd sound. It's how the other kids family members sounded. ❤ Reminds me of my Grani and Aunt Jo. Calm, to the point, and safe.

When I was a kid I used to listen to the old peoples' stories. My great-uncle was born in 1866. He was a newborn when his father returned from the Civil War and moved the family by wagon from Alabama to Missouri, where his dad opened a store in the town of Otterville. One day the James gang robbed a train outside of town. Uncle Jim said stores closed and people jumped on horses and wagons and rode out to see the train. Of course, Jesse and Frank and the gang were gone. Uncle Jim also remembered when he was ten years old---1876 was the year Wild Bill Hickcock was killed in Deadwood and the Sioux massacred Custer's 7th Cavalry on the Little Big Horn. I loved listening to his stories. I also listened to my Great-grandmother (1856-1950) talk about her memories of being a child during the Civil War and the hardships after the war, especially how the girls of her generation arrived at an age to marry at a time when so many young men had been killed and disabled by the war and there was a shortage of potential husbands. America really is a young country.

Listen to your language: “He moved the family”. No, your great uncle and your great aunt decided to move. I know times were different but in a normal marriage such decisions were not made without consulting the wife. It is 2024 and the androcentrism is still so thick that it’s figuratively dripping from too many comments. Crazy.

Hearing a 98-year old’s voice, nearly 81 years after it was recorded, well isn’t that a time capsule!? A span of 179 years, from Mr. Jackson’s birth to hearing his voice this morning, it really wasn’t that long ago in the big scheme of things, most people just don’t live too long. Growing up, hearing the “Oldies” (Buddy Holy, Chuck Berry, etc) playing on the air in the mid-1980’s, well those were 25-30, year tunes! Today, If you listen to Nirvana, that’s now Oldies, and listening to Hendrix 25 years prior to Nirvana in 1991, that’s like listening to Jazz music of the 1920’s but in the 1980’s. Life is out there, a lot happens, we just don’t live long enough to appreciate it all. But making it to near or above 100, that is quite an experience, a gift.

Yes. If you think of the "oldies" when you were young (let's say *two* generations = ~ 30 years so still alive but out of mainstream relevance), THEY had THEIR old-timers they remember when they were young, and so on...But there is a limit to this that we in our time cannot appreciate: Mainstream sound recording/playback is, practically speaking, only 100 years old (at least not commercially viable until the invention of the microphone). Silent Movies maybe 30 years earlier at most. Prior to that, experiences and history were only preserved in drawing, writing, and dramatic reproduction - which, in each case, obviously, is very subjective. So the WWII and earliest of "Boomer" generation is perhaps the last set of humans to have interacted with those for whom stage performances and live bands/orchestras were the only way to see acting or hear music, a simple fact for all of humanity prior to this. Interestingly for all the change that he experienced in his almost 100 years, humans who came before him lived pretty much the same way as their parents did for almost 1000. To us that is just as bewildering...

I tell this story to my friends but I’ll share it here; A couple of years ago, about 3 or so, I worked at a bookstore. This lady came in, I forget the exact number, but she was around Mr. Jackson’s age, around 100. She came up to me and said “my vision is finally failing after all of these years, and I want to know how to read books, can you help me?” I took her over to the magnifying glasses and lights and accessories, and she said “these won’t do at all” and she got quite sad. Then I said “I’m happy to show you our audiobooks section.” She said “what are audiobooks?” I said “well ma’am, publishers will often pair a released book with a narrator reading the book on a group of CDs.” She said “what are CDs?” SHE WAS IN HER 70’s WHEN CD’S WERE GETTING STARTED AND WAS “TOO OLD” TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE. In like…2018 or 2019. I took her over to the section and explained to her that if somebody drove her around in a car that was younger than 35 years or so, that it would have a player where you could put the disks and that a narrator would read the books. She had this huge beaming smile, thanked me for helping her, and then told me a story I’ll never forget. All of you reading this are just reading text like any other comment, but for me, the words came from this lady’s lips, she was flesh and blood and saw this. She told me that she was born in Finland, and was a woman older than I was now when WW2 happened. She said that somehow her and her family managed to get tickets to come to America in 1945. She said that she only knew a few words of English, but that when they pulled into New York Harbor, there at the base of the Statue of Liberty (or Ellis island, one of those) was an enormous field of flowers, she said roses or tulips, planted to spell out “welcome home”. I’m emotional typing this now. She said that moment when she could read those two words was one of the most joyful liberating moments of her life. I don’t think I’ll ever hear an “Ellis island story” ever again.

A few years back I was randomly talking to a lady who told me about an experience she once had talking to a 100 year old woman (in 1965) who vividly remembers being in a crowd listening to Abraham Lincoln. She was five years old at the time and her parents took her to see him speak. (Assuming it was a campaign event) She recounted that her father put her up on his shoulders so she could see above the crowd and that they were very close to him. She said he had a very interesting voice and she clearly remembered the sound of it in her old age. Wow, imagine that, having seen him in person and heard what his voice sounded like, nobody knows as no recordings exist.

Books and newspaper articles made it all sound like an adventure. The cowboy life represented freedom, adventure, and they were seen as heroes or something. Also, there were no movie stars, sports stars, or other celebrities yet so they became a cultural icon. Then Hollywood immortalized the cowboy image. It was the last time in America's history were there was open land that wasn't fenced in and there was real freedom. Once barbed wire was invented everything changed. It was 1874 when they invented a machine to easily make barbed wire which ended the cattle drives.

You don’t wanna hear about that.” But I really did! They probably protected their hearts and their sanity by not reliving some of the horrors they saw.

My grandmother was born in 1922 she experience the invasion of Japanese in Philippines. She would always tell stories about how she was being courted by Japanese soldiers when she was in her 20's. They would give her jewelry from their loot and expensive fabrics from the old Spanish mansions they destroyed. She denies them of course. She thought they were cruel. She would also tell us horrible stories about how the Japanese beheads young men over a deep well and the water would turn red as the heads were being collected down the well. With that, she told us that they would escape to the forests or to the countryside far away from cities to escape the atrocities of the Japanese. She would tell these stories pretty often when the light goes out and oil lamps starts to blaze. It is far more amazing when she tells those stories without electricity. She passed aways at 97 years of age. I miss her. Despite she is gone, i could still feel her presence. Not in a creepy way but It felt like she wasnt gone. There is also a neighbor of ours who was almost the same age as my grandmother but she was at least 5 years younger. She told her grandchildren about how they used dig holes on the ground with a spoon so they could have a place to hide from the Japanese. I still have my grandmother left from my mother's side and I have yet hear her stories. She was born in1937. She was quite young at the time of the invasion but I'm pretty sure she has interesting stories to tell.
