Aah, that were genious you, Bob!
All this time, I've been thinking who was that kiddo cursing like a sailor
in Sanskrit while they were changing his diapers and nursing during the
breaks in the next classroom!

When I was learning photography and darkroom techniques I was studying long
division and reading the Hardy Boys. I was ten years old.
I read them when I was seven.
In Sanskrit.
During breaks in nuclear physics classes.
That I was giving.

I think BobW and I are soul mates. When I was getting deeper into
photography in High School, I was studying Latin, German, Old English,
Physics, Calculus, and reading S.I. Hayakawa's treatise on general
semantics, "Language in Thought and Action." I'd already signed off on the
French as savages.

A sister has asked me for advice on a beginning camera for her
grandson. He’s 12, intelligent, creative, self-disciplined—all-in-all
pretty precocious about many things. I have my own thoughts, which may
not be best, but wondered what y’all might recommend.
