About The Elderberries
Phil Frank’s The Elderberries centers around Dusty, a cowboy whose middle aged daughter has decided it’s time for him to hang up his spurs and move to Elderpark, a retirement community. While there, Dusty meets the Professor, a great brain with a bad memory; Evelyn, who can still see well enough to drive at night; and the General, a veteran with bad hips and a lot of stories. Together, they deal with medications, the loss of youth, and their adult children while maintaining their humor and building their friendships.

Do we have the makings of a congenital liar here?

It would be tough for him to fake knowing something when Dusty knows about it already.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I met one of these once, a young German man. He told me he was a star opera singer and that as CIA spies he and his father had brought down many people, all this in addition to his day job. Baron Munchhausen, I presume?

Since Alexander Crespo III is retired and probably more than 65 years old, it is quite possible that he had a variety of occupations during his lifetime.
I will be 67 on Wednesday, Nov. 4 and I did a lot of different jobs before I became disabled.
Some people who post comments to what I post seem to think that I am a congenital or pathological liar.
One time on an internet discussion forum, a person who had never met me tried to prove I wasn’t a non-speaking extra in the TV miniseries “War and Remembrance.”
Somehow he expected my name to be listed in the cast of the show.
The filming of the 2 scenes I was in were done on one day. In the 1st one which lasted about 5 minutes, my face was on camera several times because I was place between to speaking extras.
In the 2nd scene where the announcement was made that the war in Europe was over, there were at least 200 extras in that scene. And my back was toward the camera in that scene since I was on the back row.

Dusty Winters is both a retired cowboy and former truck driver.
He is also a know-it-all. Some concrete cowboys (truck drivers who wear western clothing) can make up lies as well as anyone else.
Dusty only wants people to be his friends when they can be a sucker for his schemes in attempts to run the lives of the Elderpark residents and have control over the activities there.

Your points are salient, Joe Allen- but I would bet Crespo will turn out to be a big fibber.
And happy 67th birthday.
