That picture reminds me, people raised on the East Coast are two inches shorter than if they'd grown up on the West Coast.

Tom, check this story out. This happened about 5 miles from where I live and made national news. Amazing this poor women survived. And they say BigFoot is a hoax and could never remain hidden this long. :) washingtonpost.com Missing Washington Woman Found Alive The Associated Press Monday, June 10, 2002; 2:05 PM BREMERTON, Wash. –– A 68-year-old woman with a mild case of dementia apparently survived nearly two weeks in the woods alone by nibbling on candy. Vernita Frazier was listed in good condition Monday at Harrison Memorial Hospital in Bremerton, where she was treated for hypothermia, cuts and scrapes. Police said Frazier endured temperatures as low as 37 degrees in a blue dress, brownish green vest, black stockings and black shoes. "This is amazing," said Kitsap County Sheriff's Sgt. Cameron Mandeville. "I think it's the closest thing to a miracle we've seen in a while, because she's actually in fairly good condition, considering how long she's been gone." Frazier "apparently left home with some candy in her purse, and she'd been eating a little of it every day," hospital spokeswoman Patti Hart said. "She had some left over." Frazier vanished May 28 after going for a walk near the home of her son, Vincent Hill, in Silverdale, north of Bremerton and about 15 miles west of Seattle. More than 200 people helped search the area within a mile of the son's home without success. On Sunday morning, about half a mile from Hill's home, Julie Chapel was enjoying the sun on her porch when she heard a sound from behind her house. "We have a lot of birds that live back there, so I thought it was just one of them, but then I heard the voice say, 'Please help me' – and then it said, 'I need you,'" Chapel said. She thought it might be Frazier and called her husband Louis, 42, a Navy senior chief petty officer, who also heard the voice. After clambering through the dense woods for 15 minutes, he found the missing woman just as sheriff's deputies, alerted by a neighbor, arrived nearby. Hill expressed his thanks through Hart to everyone who helped search for his mother. "It was an amazing coming together of this community, because you couldn't go a block without seeing a flier of her picture," Hart said. © 2002 The Associated Press
