It's amazing to consider what we now take for granted. My sister died in '81.

As for gray, I thought your hair was platinum blond. But I know what you mean about someone else barging in. I have the same feeling (and I never much like what I saw in the first place). My mother still talks about looking in the mirror and not recognizing the reflection. My brother has the right idea.
