My best friend, who passed away in July at 73, was the same. He had to drop out after the 5th grade to help with his family's horse ranch in New Hampshire - but he was a gentleman and a scholar, with great taste in food, clothes, and decor.

And he was very much a Robert Kennedy liberal; he lived in Manhattan for many years, and one of the last things he told me was that New Yorkers often referred to our President-elect as 'Trump the Chump' on account of how easy it was for banksters to lure him into hopeless boondoggles (God help us all).

I miss my old friend; but that's life.
