Something wrong with the math in my head. I was born in 1931 and will be 85 this coming sunday.

1932 he was 19 means he was born in 1913 and today is 2016......dang it, ran out of fingers/toes.

Actually it was 1912. My birthday hadn't occurred yet so I was still 19 at the time.

Watching my father bowing in front of a lady and kiss her hand lightly while I had to do a curtsy to elder ladies. Or seeing my grandmother wearing formal and semi-formal gloves to special events.
