Harold Nelson is a full ten years older than his girlfriend,
but no one seems very bothered about the difference in their ages. They might
have been if Harold was twenty-six and Jeanne was sixteen. But this year Harold
is a hundred and four. During World War II Harold served in the third infantry under General "Old Blood and Guts" George S. Patton. He was shot while serving his country. Four times. But he’s
still kicking. He met Jeanne Gold about a decade ago, when he was ninety-four
and she was eighty-four and they were on the same casino bus trip. They’ve been
together ever since. Harold and Jeanne spend much of the time they have left
fishing and talking. Between them, they have nearly two centuries of life
experience. I’ll bet they have a lot to talk about.
