She was just seventeen

Because she's at sea and can't stop me, I'm posting another picture of Sharee from the batch of scans I got from Andy Porter yesterday. All the pictures are from the 1980 Norwescon, and most of them are of her in costume, like the one I posted yesterday. This is one of two non-costume shots. It looks very '40s to me, and not just because it's black and white. The hair style and jacket look old-fashioned to me too.

It's hard to think about that era without thinking about what a stupid child I was at that age (an older man of nineteen), but I guess we all have to learn the hard way. And what did I learn? That I'll always be stupid about certain things! I just have a cognitive bias that way. The unknown known, as Michael Dobson put it in a recent Facebook post about risk analysis. Appropriately enough.

We know what you mean.

Naw, it is only the badge that stops this from being passable as a shot from the 40s. The neckline's fine.

It only seems like you were stupid at 19. Really, I'm sure you were just fine.

Fine, I was just fine. But I got better.

Like a fine wine.
