5'8 TALL???!!!

May 21, 2000

Gee,

How could anyone 5' 8 " TALL be confused with a dwarf or a short

person??? That's like a 'giant' to me!!!!

Is your family tall? To some people anyone under 6' is a short or

referred to as a 'dwarf' in a negative way. Maybe he's just plain

u---. Did I say that? Some people are just tall & ugly, and it

doesn't mean they're a dwarf.

confused

> First, I am not a dwarf or a knoen carrier. I do not discriminateagainst

dwarfs/little people or anyone else. My problem is that myfamily is

concerned about me and my choice for a life partner. Myfamily seems to

think my fiance is a carrier of the dwarfism gene. They say that his

characteristics are obvious and that I would haveto be crazy not to see it.

Even if he is, I do not care. I love himvery much and want to spend my life

with him no matter what. But Ido feel I should know either way because we

plan on having xhildrenlater on. Is it possible that he is a carrier and

that his physicalcharacteristics show he is a carrier? I looked at a short

list ofpossible charateristics but I really don't understand many of

thedescriptions. He is about 5'8 " , which I know is shorter thanaverage. He

has a pig-like nose ( I think its cute) but his naselpassages don't look

small; they are actually a little big. His jawdoes not seem pronounced to

me but to my family it does. His !

> teethare not at all crowded together, they are actually spaced a

littleapart. His neck is 16 1/2 " and his arms are 32/33 in a dress shirt.

His inseam is 30 " . I'm not sure of any other physicalcharacteristics...if

he were a " dwarf " , would it not be obvious? orcan a carrier have a few

traits but not be extremely short? Can youplease help me????? Curious,

Jessie
