My acquaintance with Susan wasn't as personal yours, Julie, but during the 1980 Iowa State Fair we shared a moment I will always remember. I mentioned that I was leaving the WHO booth and heading to the Hog Barn to see the largest boar. She was unfamiliar with the annual contest and after a brief explanation we were off. As we turned into the aisle where the boar rested on its side, Susan's voice reached a volume that may have reached the beer tent. In her inimitable Aussie voice she proclaimed, "Ohhh...my GAWWWD! Look at those testicles!" Deathly silence ensued for seconds before the hubbub of the barn resumed. The boar may have smiled.
