Hi Kinley,

I'm 71, an old fart. Your post stirred up ancient memories. I quickly rifled through my endless rolodex of experiences.

I'm pleased to say I never crossed that forbidden line. I spent half of my life south of the border where that sort of behavior is accepted, even encouraged.

During a church country outing in Indiana where I was to give a talk about the dangers of taking drugs to a group of high schoolers. After my talk a girl who couldn't have been over 17 approached me.

She left no doubt in her body language that she was interested in me. I was still in my twenties.

I will go out here a little and say that she was easily one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen.

All these years later there have been other situations along those lines but happily never crossed the line. The price being too great. Not for me, rather for the life of the young person.

Besides that it was simply utterly wrong a centered man will ask what could happen to this still childs' life, her future.

Thanks

Tom
