I should've mentioned that that the "Long Timer's" get to feeling more removed from the outside world the longer their time gets. Not hearing 1st from their girlfriends who no longer are writting them never mind visiting, then news about home, friends & family becomes scarcer & scarcer, until the only news comes from the newer cons & eventually the newer cons become way younger & no longer do they know about anyone you once knew. Lastly your world has become confined to the prison of the farm & never getting a letter from home & those letters are the last connection that goes. "You alone in this world".
