I don't know how many have lifelong been enamored of Michael Apted's UP series. He followed a group of British Children from age 7 into late middle age, every 7 years doing interviews with them about their life. If you have not seen these, try to start with his first "7 Up" and watch all the way to his last (which he believed might in fact be the last he was able to document) which is 63 Up. It was amazing to see the life experiences of these kids from youth to age.

I sure will miss knowing this fellow is still in our world.
