Oh, Ole, sometimes you are just like a big old grumpy loveable bear of a grandfather! You give me warm-fuzzies! With all due respect, sir.So give him a gold medal and pat him on the back.

It's a nice story and I'm not asking for proof that it didn't happen, just acknowledgement that it is one of those "stories" told that may or may not be factual. There are, at least, a brazillion of stories that are nice to read but are essentially unsubstantiated.
