Yup. And she just turned 17. Perhaps things were different in the
cretacious period ;-D

Yes, you may all be pleased to know that my daughter Annie (Rotrude) and
4 or 5 of her friends (some of the gang that was at the An Tir/ West War
with us) are planning to go over to the Red Cross during their free
period on Thursday and give blood. I am thrilled to know a bunch of
17-year-olds who would do that!
