It is like I wrote before what a handsome young man he was. But even when he aged he was so distinguished looking.

Robert E Lee had a heck of a hard time finding a wife. There were women lined up over the horizon to be his but their daddies invariably said no - they knew his daddy! Lee took after his mother, I think. Looked more like a Carter than a Lee! But he sure got the best features from both his good looking parents. Light-horse Harry was blond but very handsome. He gained in the waistline - the Lees tended to do that in middle age. It griped Lee, who considered himself a 'corpulent old man'. I can't see he was corpulent at any time of his life! And, he took after the Lees with their heart problems - quite a number had heart disease.

I've often thought that had I survived being a soldier in the CS army I'd have spent the rest of my life eating everything in sight. Corpulence and heart disease be damned !

Worked in a bottle factory in Seattle and a co-worker was a survivor of the Nazis, had a tattooed number on his arm, and said he'd never be hungry again. He probably weighed more than the other three people in the room put together. He'd order a bucket of KFC and gobble it all, throwing the bones over his shoulder like Henry VII!
