Like so many of you, I can look at my past and see several “turning points” in my life. Why does a North Dakota “flatlander” end up marrying a Missouri “hillbilly”? There’s a story there for another time. I’ve often reflected on my college days working for JC Penney in the lingerie department back in the days when women wore full slips and half slips. Often they’d hold one up, evaluate it and drop it and I had the “opportunity” (likely not my word of choice then) to refold it and put it in the right bin. To this day, I can’t hold up a folded item in the store and not refold it. Now, opportunity was the right word!
