Tell me about the furthest ancestor you remember meeting.

I met my great-grandfather once when I was 5 or 6 years old — he was around 80 at that time. Who did you meet? What do you remember about them?

@SomeMichGuy What do you remember about her?

@Renkon How she looked, what she wore, that her hearing and eyesight were poor, that I felt uncomfortable having her hold me so tight on her lap.

I remember the room where she was, where she sat there...
