Every son wants such a father, every father such a son.
For some time Aaron had been beguiling his sophisticated New York City dinner guests with the story of how the widower Clyde courted the widow Gussie Lancaster, a childhood sweetheart who more than 60 years before had moved to California. Still, the style is right for what is, after all, the sentimental chronicle of two endearing octogenarians behaving at times like teenagers. He introduces Gussie to the folks at the Dairy Queen. They kiss, they hug. In New York, Aaron frets that his vulnerable father will wither when Gussie leaves.
