Meanwhile in real life the boys at "The Citadel"... Reminded me of blind faith. A good thing, to have blinders on or one eye peeking out. Each one was so respectful and knowing what I knew about my Dad... Made me sad knowing what they might face...yet most of them had a mighty good family base... So that light. The 'girls' were just starting to get 'adopted' that year...was a mess! lol Reminded me of a ‘Cheshire Cat!’

Then I thought of 'if ain't broken'...sure you know that. Then I thought of baby teeth. And now I'm gonna go look-up and search for 'that' "gap-toothed woman" tale. It's more than likely something worth reading, I hope. And as always, if you're looking for 'a clue' in some 'serious case' you know you can always ignore me!!! I just like to type. It's funner than work!!! I’ve thought thrice…first ’bout all that ’stuff’ I bought at “The Gap” to keep ’someone young’ from being teased (or harassed)…you know that ‘peer pressure’ thang.
