Grandson meets Great Grandfather for the first time

Grandson meets Great Grandfather for the first time. Great Grandfather was 91 years old and in the nursing home at Salyersville, Kentucky. Grandson was about 1 year old and had not met his Great Grandfather because of distance. They didn't seem to quite know what to make of each other. The contrast between youth and age is so much a part of the human experience.
