Gone

     The reporter was interviewing people who formed a segment of our society labeled, "the very old," aged 92 and up I think the age bracket was.  "And to what do you attribute your longevity?" she asked.  "Well," answered the woman from her vantage point of 99 years of age, "I had a lot of friends and we used to play bridge on  a regular basis."   "And they're mostly gone now?" asked the reporter.  The woman replied, "No,  not mostly gone. Every one of them."
