"The best classroom in the world is at the foot of an elderly person."

Leah Powell shares that listening to the thoughts of the elderly is:

"...when you acknowledge an elderly person who may or may not have a good life, you learn lessons about the years over time that they spent here on earth.

Someone else shares:
"...when you acknowledge an elderly person, the information provided is a gateway into the centuries of living gone by and the joy of passing things on to younger generations become comparisons of modern day where personal stories come alive."

Leah Powell continues:

"...when you don't acknowledge an elderly person, especially your own, you have eyes but you do not see."
