My wife and I were in a store here in Wilmington several months ago shopping for supplies when we came upon a lady we did not know who was talking on her cell phone.

She was proud that Mary Carolyn and I, Sandy Lynn, made good grades, won awards, were praised by teachers and did not fall prey to unladylike temptations. My brother Jimmy Doyle was wild as a buck rabbit, but that’s another story for another day.
