Denise

​Not many women can pull off pigtails, but Denise Shortt can … and every time I see saucy, cute, braided pigtails on anyone over the age of 15, they make me think of Denise.  We met via email nearly 20 years ago, and became fast virtual - and later F2F - friends, teaming up on projects, staying out too late, trying to change the world.  I don’t see Denise enough these days, but a smile crosses my lips each time I see braids sauntering down the street & take a minute to think of her!
