On a shopping trip with my daughter, a Navy flight surgeon, I noticed one item on her list was Snoopy bandages.  She said that they were for some of her patients who were unnecessarily upset by their minor scratches and routine shots.   Beaming with maternal pride, I told her how thoughtful she was to make the officer’s children so happy.   “Children?” she said, “mother, these are for the pilots.”                                          Fran Solomon Smith
