(6,862 posts)Elementary school gym, 1957 or 58. Folding tables lined with rows of white squares. First time I'd ever seen, much less eaten a sugar cube. Had no dot. Did I get a placebo? Never did trust that "county nurse".
Amazingly, 15 years later I had reason to meet her again and she hadn't changed in appearance even one bit. I think she was Garp's mother or something.
