Reminds me of my brother who ended up over 6'4" tall. I was transferring
into a class in high school. The teacher had had my brother in a previous
class and upon recognizing my last name (Bachman), he asked if Bill was my
brother. I said yes, and he asked, "Tell me, do his arm still reach his
knees?!?"
Best to all - Linda, the string-a-holic in Oregon where we're starting to
have another run at summer weather!

Oh my... I've always known I'm not "someone of normal proportions", but I
didn't know by just how much I was off the charts... :) Since childhood
I've often been the recipient of witty gems such as: "can you tie your
shoes while standing at attention?" And: "you confirm that Darwin's theory
of the origin of the species was correct".
My hand-span (fingertip to fingertip) is tape-measure (5ft)+ 7.5". Even
before I started shrinking with age, I was never taller than 5ft, 2.5"...
I guess I'd be your preferred textile seller, for as long as I managed to
survive on negative income :)
