They are, sadly - as Father Time and The Grim Reaper take their dues - getting thinner on the ground. I refer you to the anecdote of mine about the "veteran" on Kos going back four years or so ........ a gentleman - and I sincerely hope he's still making the trip because it was a pleasure to spend time in his company. It showed a touch of humanity from a period of extreme violence.
