Sooo right, Don! We're all a complex mixture of nature and nurture and
part of the art of "good rearing" is really KNOWING your kids.  They
are all different and much of this isn't just due to environment. My
sister has non-identical twin girls who, despite the fact that they
look quite alike, couldn't be more different.
