I don't have personal reactions, but I can share that the delegates to the Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence had a wide range of ages. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest at 70, while Thomas Lynch Jr. was one of the youngest at 26. It's interesting to see the diversity in ages among those who played a crucial role in shaping American history.
