That man seems like the kind of man who you could spend an entire afternoon at the park with, just sitting there listening to stories from his lifetime. He would start from the early 1920's and slowly continue up to the present day, while making you realize that history clearly repeats itself regardless of how many technological advances we have which cloud our ability to grasp that humanity doesn't change, only the time and setting in which we express our humanity does.
That's just a hunch..
