Nine People
J.R. Littlefield ran a school uniform retail business for forty years. He never understood the whole Catholic schoolgirl fetish thing.
Alice Cassells likes petunias but not zinnias, fish sandwiches but not fish sticks, leaf blowers but not rakes.
Jordan Hughes climbed a Mayan pyramid on his honeymoon in 1977. He and his wife enjoy Christmas lights and apparitions of the Blessed Virgin.
Azalea Boyd of Billings, Montana has never seen the blossom of the plant she was named after. While in Georgia for the Olympics in 1996, she saw some shrubs but they were of course not in bloom in July.
January Biddleton likes old hammers. She has seven.
Toni Winterson has never had an e-mail address.
Joseph Halevi writes all of his letters on the backs of credit card junk mail. He soaks his feet in cold water for fifteen minutes each morning, and eats sugary cereal with no milk.
Billie Rae Douglas is addicted to tanning beds.
Her cousin, Alex Douglas, lost his left ear in a chicken processing accident. His disability check allows him to live off a modest used book business. He can’t wear sunglasses and rarely ventures out of his home in suburban Phoenix.
