My father shook hands with a woman who shook Abraham Lincoln’s hand, and my mother was proposed to by Robert Frost\*  
\*okay, not the Robert Frost - I think she used to tell that part not to feel left out.

Let’s see…earlier people mentioned being born and their mom’s not having drugs. Well, I was born in 1957, when it was highly unusual for a woman in a hospital to NOT have drugs, but my mom said she wasn’t having any pain, so they let her proceed without any, but the anesthesiologist charged a token amount anyhow since he had to be there just in case. I was her fourth child, and the only one that didn’t hurt! They saved enough money on me to buy their first clothes dryer.

But that’s not my statement. Mine is…

I must be the only person here who knows the location of a piece of a memorial from a major event of the 70’s that went missing a few months after it was dedicated. I didn’t have a part in the theft, nor did my source, nor did either of us personally know the perpetrators, but the knowledge was passed down to us.

I must be the only pregnant woman here (or anywhere, maybe) to whom Slim Fast was recommended by a dietitian.

Yeah. I was kind of WTF about it, too.

I may be the only person who was introduced before a Dodgers game, where the P.A. announcer got my name right, but the person who spelled it on the scoreboard did not.

I have a photo.
