One might attribute this decline to "old age", but I don't buy it. I have
heard countless stories of some of my recent West Virginia mountain
ancestors (my grandmother's uncles and aunts), as well as my Mohawk
grandmother, who lived to and past age 100 on a diet that included wild
meat, lots of fat and home-grown veggies without ever losing their mind,
breaking a bone, or losing their spirit. They died quietly in their sleep.

Thanks, Stacie. I think this proves the point. Good story!
