I always picture Lynn Bodoni as a woman who I worked with years back in a woman’s clinic.  
She was a writer, and worked with a group, on part of a woman’s reproductive health guide.  
Her manner was quiet and thoughtful, and she had a nervous habit of twisting her hair- when under stress.

Honestly, that’s not too bad at all. I could sure do worse. 😃

And thank you!

You’re only off by about 13 years.

Saw a kid walking near the local high school the other day and thought _“That’s **Qin Shi Huangdi** ”_. Nice looking kid, slender, asiatic features, an odd mincing gait and a look in his eye like he was pondering weighty thoughts.

**Chefguy** , I think, looks like one of my younger uncles. Heck, maybe he **is** my uncle. They both live in Portland. Unca Bob…is that you?

I used to picture **Marley23** as kind of a distinguished, avuncular headmaster type. Then I saw an actual picture…

I tend to picture all the lady dopers as slender and voluptuous until informed otherwise. Except for **Susanann**. I picture her as Ann Coulter.

And for those who wonder what yrs. truely looks like…wonder no more. A couple of [good](http://www.dreamgarden.com/graphics/seldom-art.gif) [likenesses](http://www.abbeyweb.net/images/mwgcal/fence_l.jpg) appeared in a minor classic some years ago.
