“Well, I can’t run the marathon and win the way I used to,” said Lee to the Toronto Sun. “It’s so pleasant to go somewhere where people like you and want to hear what you have to say. It’s very flattering. But I’m 93 years old. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to do it. I want to make this one big event.”
