>Ah yes, he had two very nice, tall, and beautiful red-haired daughters,
>Elizabeth and ??, and a son. During the war, they lived in Berkeley just a
>few blocks from my house. The daughters belonged to the same skating club
>as I did, the St. Moritz in Berkeley. I liked both daughters, but I liked
>the older one more; she was my age and in my school classes. During a
>skiing Christmas vacation at the Sierra Club lodge, their brother quizzed
>me as to which sister I preferred. I was too young and too embarassed to
>give a straight answer, covering up by saying that what I preferred was
>that their mother drove us home after skating. That tore it, and skating
>companionship was never the same, although Elizabeth was my assigned
>partner in one of the club performances.
