[AGL] one reason I admired Lady Bird

[Fontaine Maverick]

When I met him, I didn't know who he was right away. I thought he looked sad 
and as if he drank heavily. But you are probably right that knowing the 
story subsequently affected my take on his condition.
I don't think I was projecting though-that would mean that I was a broken 
woman and projected my feelings on Mr. Jenkins.
