Hi Ron,

Tut, tut. My father was not schooled in Calvinist theory, if one is to
believe the hogwash that Calvin elaborated on vanity at all, but teased us
with a loving smile on the face and a funny tongue in the cheek.

He is almost 80 and still the same.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser

Now what kind of a thing is that to say to one's lovely daughters?  I
guess it's that "plain" Calvinist thing aimed at eradicating vanity.
