Yes, I remember Vernon Boswell all too well.
There's probably a Vernon in every childhood memory.
It was nothing that Vernon did to deserve the cruel treatment he received. You just didn't let Vernon sit next to you. It was like there was a price to be paid if you did. Excuse me, can I sit down? I'm saving it for a friend.
Every day I would wonder, will anyone ever let Vernon sit by them?
Mind if I sit here? Well, neither would I.
