The youngest I've ever known of was a guy who joined the ACWGC when he was 13 or 14 and is still a member. They were hesitant at first, about his commitment levels, but he is still with it to this day.
One thing about this post is for sure, the ages explains the stubbornness or as my grandmother, who I called Old Iron Pants (not to her face), who was very loving, but a very stubborn German, when I remarked in passing that she was stubborn, her response was, "It is like what my father would say, I'm not stubborn, I'm just set in my ways."
Of course one time my grandfather was doing the dishes and she kept on lecturing him on how to do it, finally, with her arm in a sling, she got up and told him to sit down and did them herself. I said to him, "Gee grandpa you can't do anything right today." He opined, "Haven't done anything right in 56 years."
My grandmother still to this day, when she was in her 80's, is the only person I know who had fallen multiple times before & after her husband died, went to a hospital, then a nursing home, then an assisted living center, and went from a wheelchair to walking upright, to be able to go back to living in her house for another 6 or 7 years it was, with a fully life of cleaning, cooking and going out. Set in her ways huh!
That's just that side of the family...
I am sure there are folks here who would argue, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree....
Of course God knows what I'll be like when I am a real old man...
