[Cz-L] RE: czernowitz-l digest: May 22, 2010

Mimi,

I can tell you exactly what they would have thought in Czernowitz about torn jeans and all the schleperei that passes for clothes today. They would have thought the same that I do today.

In the late '60s my younger son had a school friend who became a total hippie with hair half way down his back and filthy clothes, etc. The two boys ran into my dad on the street and my son said, "Hi, granddaddy, meet my friend, Greg." Dad looked the hapless boy up and down and then said, "I see it."

The boy later cleaned himself up, went back to school and became a lawyer. Many years later I looked him up and hired him for a small legal chore. I asked him if he recalled that meeting with my dad and how he had felt about being called an "it."

He said he wanted to crawl under the sidewalk and the experience decided him to join civilization again.

Now at the risk of sounding like a visitor from an alien planet, who was Percy Stewart?

Andy
