“plus one living eyewitness who passes a polygraph.”

It was almost 50 years ago - would someone over the age of 70 be considered credible on memory issues? I realize some are sharp as a tack, but let’s face it - by 50 most of us have started to slip.

That is not accurate. I know people in their 40’s that are not as sharp as my grandmother was at the age of 89. She never missed the news, read several newspapers each day, several books a month. She knew the name of every Senator in every state and how they had voted on every issue. She passed away at 89 from sudden kidney failure and up until the last 3 weeks of her life she has the sharpest mind and the one of the best memories of anyone I’ve ever know.
