Most of my fellows have been younger. I'm a fairly youthful spirit, I think, and I've taken up with fellows who have got themselves sorted out younger than others might have. What counts is whether you are more or less at the same stage of life with similar plans. When I was 19, my best and beloved friend was a fellow 11 years older. We had a great deal in common and if he hadn't been on his way to the priesthood we may even have gone beyond friendship but he is my friend to this day.
