This story was told for the umpteenth time at Christmas dinner and I felt the need to record it somewhere.  One of our guests for Christmas dinner was a 60-something man named Jamie who my father has known since boarding school (this is all very New England prep, they were both wearing bow-ties, though he was in tweed and my Father was not).
