As a bona fide short person (5'2") this fascinates me. And explains a whole heck of a lot. :)

Also, I've been to an Army/Navy game - decades ago when I dated a Naval Academy midshipman. Had NO clue till I read your article that the game had anything to do w/ Black Friday - a day I loathed when I worked in retail as much as those Philly cops did.

Great article, Linda!
