   ‘Not a close relative, but the offspring of my uncle’s sister (I don’t know what that’s called – some kinda cousin?) who was declared a boy at birth – was sad and lonely all through high school and college – but later in life became one of the most beautiful women in our family!

   Life is full of surprises. As a girl, Sophia Loren was called “Stechetto” – Italian for “stick” because she was so skinny. Cameron was called “Skeletor”.

   I once had an acquaintance who’d hated The Honeymooners (Yeah, we’re that old!) because of the:

   “One day, Alice, to the moon!” threats Ralph Kramden made to his wife, Alice.

   I’d never thought of it – even then I realized it was because Alice really wore the pants in that “family.” And he never would have resorted to violence – at least that was my take on it, admittedly as a child. My folks would have never resorted to violence – it wasn’t “our way” I guess. I hardly remember an argument . . .

   Her experience was different – and I subsequently figured she was an “Alice” in a previous real life. Sad.

   And HER college transcripts are not subject to the Non-Disclosure-Agreements (NDAs) the stable genius has against HIS grades being released. Perhaps the test-takers HE paid didn’t do a very good job after all. (I imagine HE fired them – and I’m certain HE didn’t pay them).

    In a two-microsecond Google search, I found several articles thereon. This New York Times seems one of the most comprehensive.
