    "I had a perfect time, gee wiz"-Keith. You really made his day! I'm sure it meant so much to Keith that you took the time to listen to his stories and let him show you around. You're a doll.

      @@pudznerath6532 Mr. Carter is 99. 10 years younger - 89. You might think that she is 90. Your perception If you get angry a lot, worry, and are often stressed, then this has a bad effect on your health. This is how strokes and heart attacks occur at 50-60 years of age. And in order to avoid stress, you need to behave correctly in terms of behavior. And you need to perceive your surroundings correctly, so as not to be nervous that everything is going wrong.

Just explain your situation to the desk staff/managers and leave your ID/plate info at the recpetion desk. I have done this a number of times in fifferent locations and %90 of the time it works.

He was already a dishwasher at Friendly Ice Cream and I was hired for the fountain. I made all the ice cream for in the restaurant and filled the to go orders for ice cream and grill in Western Mass. I was in an Easter Seals commercial. I so wish that I still had the videotape of me handing someone an ice cream cone.

    Keith was such a nice guy. You can find a lot of people like him with similar stories and historic events in the Black Hills of South Dakota. You should take a trip there to explore the beautiful scenery, and see the old towns and meet some good people! Might want to wait for spring though, it's too cold now. And don't go around the end of July or beginning of August. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally takes place in that area, and the state is overwhelmed with tourists, bikers, and campers. It would be hard to find peace.

    Seeing the old medicine bottles (@11:00) reminded me of my grandfather’s pharmacy at his home, in the Philippines. He worked as a pharmacist assistant and he actually became good at the job, he began concocting medicine for the neighbors and opened up his own drugstore. War broke out (1941) and neighbors went to my grandfather asking for medications - which he wrote on an IOU and stuck them in a drawer. War ended in 1945, drugstore still open, he saw about 400 IOU notes from his neighbors, in the drawer. HE BURNED ALL THE IOUs and forgave all the debts.

    You couldn't have pulled me away from this 'episode' if you hooked me to a Mercedes Sprint Van. What a great guy Keith is. Thanks for the tour Keith and Nikki! Great fun and my brother, a one-finger typer and a pharmacist from the late 60s and decades to follow, would have loved this. Thanks again.

    Okay this was so much fun! I learned a lot! What great stories! So cool the governor found the son and brought him home to be with his father. This was completely one of the most fun weekly vlogs I’ve ever seen thank you so much !!!

    Love, Love, Love this video Nikki and Camper! Your time with Keith was amazing. You could tell how much he loved sharing the history of his town with you, and I am sure you made his day(with Camper's help of course)!
