There was this boy in my fifth grade class who was always combing his hair; first with a part and his hair plastered down flat across his head. Then the comb went straight back a little way from the forehead and then was combed crossways to create a perfect wave. This was probably done an average of 20 times a day. I mention this only in case he is reading this and he will know I’m talking about him.

When we first returned to Lyman County I would get a mental image of him combing his hair every time I saw him. I would venture to guess he still goes through those steps to this day. Come to think of it, how fortunate he is that he still has hair to comb!
