Hopefully you’re right about your daughter.
I’m guessing Miss Maher’s parents probably also had much higher expectations of Mr. Garn.
No kidding. Her Sunday school teacher and later he became the Bishop?

I won’t even wager a guess. I saw the parents of LOTS of girls considering most of the sleepovers happened a our house. My daughter was captain of the high school varsity basketball team. On a surprisingly regular basis we had 10 or 15 fifteen-to-eighteen year old girls running around my house in what could fairly accurately be called “nighties”. I got to meet a lot of parents with varying degrees of parental involvement, and I also felt uncomfortalbe enough around the girls at such times to retire to my music studio and let my wife take care of most of it.
I will say this though: I always thought of them as just kids and not sexual objects. It may be because I am completely fulfilled in that area (my marriage).
Regarding this guy, it could be partly him and partly the girl. I strongly believe that at least a couple of these girls would have been more than game, based on what I later learned. And they all came from middle and upper middle class families. The “worst” one of the group was raised VERY religiously.
If this same scenario had gone on when I was married to my first wife (where celibacy was forced on me for well over a year) I am not sure what would have happened had opportunity presented itself. I’d like to think I would have taken the right path and not fallen in with the likes of King David regarding Bathsheba.
