Here's a case where point of view is ever so important because a woman raised in New York who emigrated to Colorado would have a whole lot different outlook than one born and raised in Colorado.<br /><br />And I agree, bring on Lily Langtry!

She's the town belle who almost falls for Marly Landers when she thinks Marly is a boy. Turns out I didn't use any of my research directly, but it came in handy as you see.Alison E.
