He had a downs syndrome son my age that lived into his mid 50's. Don't think he ever got over about 15 years old mentally.

Dad's youngest brother was a lineman. Lots of awards for stuff and when he retired the main HQ had him down for a retirement party and then showed him the wall with a mural and his pictures. Some were 1:1 size. He used to walk out on the high tension lines and hang the ladder on the pole arm and climb down to fix whatever needed fixed.
