Don't I, and Jeanie, know of my eye for beautiful women, Jack. I read her your comment just now and - guess what- she blushed and appreciated it very much. She said "You Portsmouth guys (she is a New Bostoner) are all ornery."
You and Jeanie make me go deep in philosophy on this one. Sexuality, as we humans know and sometimes do not articulate, makes the world go around. The male is the hunter and the female is the quest. Strange that the very beautifully effeminate creatures do not want unsolicited advances from the hunters.
Yet they wear more than subtly beguiling outfits which we sometimes take a sideways glance at. Uh... well... Then we are the sadists, the slobbering idiot molesters. The philosophers tell us that rapists, which I could never be, have a hatred for females and are expressing that in their untoward actions upon the girls. Most of us have had great mothers whom we may even rarely have disagreed with, but whom also we have loved and respected deeply. My mother, Mary Eleanor Kegley, was just such a beautiful woman.
God knew all of this in the beginning; however that beginning started, even of our God! I like to believe and I do believe that He loved us so much even in our iniquities, that He sent his son as our great Teacher of how to live with each other- even male and female.
I thank God for my Jeanie's beauty which is far more than this Mound Park Urchin ever deserved in life.

Sam, You have an eye for beautiful women and you can tell your wife I said so. Bea was indeed a lovely young woman. The Spriggs guys also had an older sister who might well have been the prettiest woman in Portsmouth. I'm almost sure she was older than John and ,I think, her name was Sarah. She rode the Mabert Rd, bus also and I used to make myself all kinds of promises when she would get on the bus. That Spriggs family was a classy bunch of people till they got down to the last one.( You can tell ol' Flip I said that)

Yes I remember Gene and Herb "Hob Knob" heath. Hob Knob got his name from playing a pin ball machine with that name down on eleventh Street, according to Flip Spriggs. They had a beautiful sister named Bea. Bea was a prettier Lauren Bacall.

Sam a guy that I have never mentioned who spent a lot of time in the park, was a good athlete but very light. Majored in foriegn commerce at OSU and spent practically the rest of his life in So. America and Guatemala making lots of money is Gene Heath. He was a red hot pool player. Although he had the GI bill he still payed a lot of his way through school shooting pool. When you can win up there, you are good. I've forgotten what they called his brother. He was a good guy too but a little slow. We called Gene ,Heater all the time. You might remember him by that name.-- Jack P.-- Jack P.

Sam,
You made me smile :-)) when I first met you almost 20 years ago I didn't realize your great wisdom- - I recall one day I was taking my youngest son, Shawn, somewhere and I noticed a girl that lived in our neighborhood and commented to him on her beauty. As he rejected the girls beauty, and I realized that he had tunnel vision - and that there were only a very few girls that he thought were true beauty's.........but I didn't realize my own tunnel vision.
As compared to you where the spectrum of true beauties was quite a bit larger than my son's,
and mine was somewhere in the middle. You once told me that on a scale of 1 to 10, they are all 10's :-))) I am still just a pup, in that I am about 12 years your junior, however at 64 I now realize that you were speaking the Great Truth concerning true beauties.
Your response:
"The real 10's are pretty inside and out like Jeanie and Arelis. Are we lucky or what"?
Sam
My response:
We are more than lucky, we were blessed.
That said:
I wonder why you haven't thought about a book on "The Truly Beautiful Women you have met"?
Dan
