I was sitting on a rock, three quarters of the way up Mount Mansfield, as my daughter and grandson were coming back down. I had told them I was tired, go on up, I would wait. My daughter said that once at the top, they had asked some fellow climbers about me. They were told, “Well, there’s an old man sitting on a rock, talking to everybody.” I realized that had been my goal in life all along and I had achieved it. I have always just wanted to be an old man sitting on a rock talking to everybody.
