BROOKC_220320_1280.JPG: She kept writing the initials "AF" after her piece. I had gotten used to seeing the letters -- meaning "As F---" as in "He's crazy AF" -- and wondered what she meant. Colin suggested that this wasn't what "AF" meant and that her personal initials were "AF". I talked to her later and that turned out to be true.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
