They joined before 1949. Because of the sensitive nature of the situation, politics cannot be brought up at all when I meet them, but that does not stop my excitement! I’m posting here because I have nowhere else to talk about this. I’ll see if I can post about it again in a few weeks to let all of you know what kind of person they are or if they had good life advice.
That’s a good idea. I’m going to see if I can ask a leading question to the effect of “considering your life experiences, what do you think about the world today?” or “what has been the biggest change you’ve seen in your lifetime?”
