Harry, my single, senior year at Whitman blessed me with four friends: Rick Salamanca, Mike Clark, Marian Clarke (Class of '74), and a Lisa who resembles 'the one' in this picture. I didn't think to ask Lisa if it was she who was shooting a ping-pong machinegun on her front lawn in 'the rich neighborhood' between us at the bottom of Nevis, 7514, and Boose Creek in our primary years. Those guys were sweet to invite this loner to an evening ride over on George Washington Parkway. Rick told me that Marian died two weeks before the 40th reunion. She and Lisa also brought me along with them to church one Sunday, to the Quaker meeting downtown. And Rick said that Marian developed herself after that with the Sikhs. My memoir is on Amazon et al and Bookbaby Bookshelf, Let The Cards Lie, preceded by a booklet, We Spanked God. God bless you with your treasured memory of Lisa, if apt.

Thanks for your observation, Harry. Thanks to God that we're all different.
