Have you got an old person you like to talk to? What you usually talk about?

I have got an old person who I like to talk to. He is both my neighbor and my teacher. I knew him when I was a little kid. We were neighbors so we saw each other almost everyday. He was a physics teacher of our local middle school and he cultivated some mushrooms in his house. We kids were interested in it so we usually visited his house and he warmly taught us a lot of knowledge about mushrooms. Another thing that impressed me is that once he sold some old books on the street where we live nearby. I bought some and I learnt a lot from his books. Later I became one of his students in our class and he taught us physics. He was humorous and he made the physics more easy to understand. Finally our class's physics performance was the best of our grade. I often asked him some questions after class. And he always warmly answered me. Sometimes, he also talked with me on some life experience. He told me that when he was young the economic was not so good as nowadays and their generation was still positive and hard-working at that time because they believed that things will get better and better. So I wish I could have the positive attitude and hard-working spirit as him. I think he was just like a mentor. He cultivated my interest for physics and science, what is more, I learnt a lot from his positive life attitude. Have you got an old person you like to talk to? What you usually talk about? :)
