A person whose name sounds nothing like mine emailed me today<\/p>\n
with this question: "My mother, long gone, would sometimes call people,<\/p>\n
including me, her son, ‘Peter Levine’ in what seemed to me whimsical fashion.<\/p>\n
Now, decades later, and curious about what she meant by that, I typed<\/p>\n
in the words at Google and found no reference to such a person in literature<\/p>\n
or history that might fit. Since your name came up at the head of the<\/p>\n
list, I thought I would write and ask if you could shed any light on who<\/p>\n
she may have been referring to. My mother was born in 1901 in Arkansas,<\/p>\n
had a seventh grade education, and was not well read. I suspect she picked<\/p>\n
up the expression through conversation or story telling." <\/p>\n
This just goes to show you—you never can tell why someone will visit<\/p>\n
your website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
