   Cal’s last comment sounds a little familiar, as if recently suggested in someone’s musing on his future.

   Well, I’m being dealt an 8 and a 9 tomorrow and can attest that the 40’s and 50’s were ‘eventful decades,’ which is equivalent to saying the sun is a light.

   The kid is right. Most moderns pay little attention to elders who either participated in or observed significant historical events. History doesn’t seem to interest them as much as gathering, using, and discarding. But this isn’t just a modern trend.

   Antonio said, What’s past is prologue. [“The Tempest,” c1611, W. Shakespeare] And no doubt there is a quote from an ancient Greek on that same theme. But eventually we all come to the realization that the past has meaning for each of us.

   Or perhaps, as T.S. Eliot wrote?

   We shall not cease from exploration

   And the end of all our exploring

   Will be to arrive where we started

   And know the place for the first time
