I'm only partway through this one, but-- Yes Lydia, the thought occurs that you can never tell who anyone is from the first meeting. It could be a learned performance.
I don't know about swanky restaurants, but I remember having to resort to grilled cheese sandwiches in regular restaurants after I stopped eating meat.
Janet-- Of course I'm experiencing Frank Garner from a different glandular perspective, but my only thought was: My, what a tidy, presentable young man. If only those young people with their long hair and rock and roll would follow his example........ Dad says Frank's too young to know about Vicki's old document, but I think he was frozen in 1950 and thawed out recently. Or it could be longer. Dad (while looking ancient) seems more youthful and vigorous than Frank... maybe it's a "Second Hundred Years" situation, and Frank's the other's father!
