                    pat,
                
                  - wonderfully written, interesting story.  i cant wait to find out now how you feel about him staying with his wife now.  i wonder if i am thinking what you are.  will not say until i read all of your story.  sometimes we think we have things figured out when years later and years wiser we see things for what they really were.

                Quite natural Pat, I would have liked to have known if he still lived with his wife. Perhaps he would be afraid that women would turn out to be the same eventually.

                Nothing reminds us as much of the passing of the years as meeting an old flame...

                 - 30 -  is reporter's code for "the end."  In the days when we typed our news items and sent them to the copy editor for typesetting, each page had to be marked with - more - to indicate there was more to the story or - 30 - to end it.
