There may not be much in common between the 84-year-old man and the six-year-old child with muscular dystrophy, yet their friendship is anything but uncommon. It's yet another example of the group called Family Friends - senior citizens who befriend children that are chronically ill or disabled. Charles Osgood introduces us to a few. Originally broadcast December 12, 1991.
