Oldest person I can remember as a kid..

  That would have to be my grandma or great uncle Bud. I remember her helping me plant green bean plants in my back yard. I also remember thanksgiving at my aunt's house, and sitting at the kids' table with my cousins. From my great uncle, I remember he used to take me to this little store and he'd always buy me circus peanuts. I also remember seeing him put salt on grapefruit, and green apples he'd pick in the yard.
