I'm interested in knowing about people, that's all.  Whenever I go into
someone's home, I look at the photographs.  Although they're not members of
my family, I still hold a fascination for them.  You don't have to answer
any of my questions if they're too personal.  You obviously have an
interesting life history.  At what point did your family line studied
Theosophy?
