Carl's Tree

For years at least once a week, 91 year old Carl Grant drove 20 miles from his home in Delray Beach, Florida to a little ice cream shop in Lantana. He was a favorite of all of the folks behind the counter and would often chat with customers. As an amateur painter, he was fascinated by a tree just outside on the patio. Carl decided to paint the tree and eventually gave the painting to the store staff. After a fall, everything changed for Carl. For months he could no longer remember names and faces and didn’t know where he was. But, he was telling stories that his son Steve had never heard before. So Steve decided to start recording audio and shooting some video with the only camera he had with him, a Sony point and shoot. Steve, and Carl, share what happened one afternoon.
