My grandfather's name in lights

[eveglass]

I come from smart stock. In today's Gazette, there's an article about my grandfather, who just finished writing up a PhD thesis at the age of 93. This is the same guy who celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the age of 89. (Link is to a Canadian Jewish News article.)

I wish the Gazette article had better copy-editing (my editor senses are tingling), but it's still a lovely article and it makes me very, very proud. Whenever I tease my grandfather about calling his USB key his "dig", I've always got at the back of my mind that this man wrote a PhD thesis in his 80s and 90s, on a computer, corresponding with some of the leading academics in the world. I should only be so lucky to be in his situation when I'm 93.
