Excellent column Prof. Williams. Reminded me of an incident about 1944 on a summer evening as my dad and I sat on our front porch, facing a county road. A fellow came by in his wagon and waved. My dad, already in his seventies and with poor eyesight asked who the fellow was. I, being nine yrs. old and going on 20 replied, "it was old man Riner." Boy, I'll never forget that tongue lashing I received with the final statement being, "he is Mr. Riner to you young man." To this day, everyone is Miss, Mrs. or Mr. even though I am usually their senior. Thanks pop for a good lesson!.
