Thats not true. Some peoples memories are sharp as a tac at a very old age. My uncle was probably the last living person who saw Babe Ruths first homerun on Toronto Island in the International League. He said he remembered seeing Ty Cobb play also. He was also driving into his 90's. That was a hell of a long time ago. He could tell you what he was doing during whatever day during the Second World War when he was overseas. Ofcource, some of those he didn't finish telling for obvious reasons.
Some people lose their mind alot younger than others, but to make a statement "The sad part is that they're so old now, they probably don't even know who they are anymore." is just ignorant. Hell, there was a World War 1 German solder who was taking care of himself, living in his own home at the age of 109 and was fully "all there"
You are only as old as you feel !
