He Looks in the Mirror: At 75, He’s Wondering if Biden and Trump Can Say the Same” (front page, April 10), about Dr. Bob Ross, who cares for the residents of Ortonville, Minn.:Like Dr. Bob, I’m an aging, but still active, physician. I fully agree that at 83 I wouldn’t be fit to lead this country. Some qualities are lost with age, some are gained with age, and some are just intrinsic irrespective of age. To the Editor:A beautiful story about an aging doctor who is a marvelous man. Indeed, an uplifting personal story that stands on its own, untainted by the political chaos that drags us down.
