PHYLLIS AND I HAD SO MANY GOOD TIMES WITH AL AND JOANN IN AND AROUND SHARON WE WOULD STILL NEED TO BE CAREFUL IN DESCRIBING SOME OF THEM LEST THEY MIGHT STILL EMBARRASS SOME OF THE INNOCENT PARTICIPANTS. BUT THE HORAN'S WERE SELDOM OFFENDED ENOUGH TO NOT TRY TO RESPOND IN KIND - OFTEN QUITE SUCCESSFULLY.
