Odd thing, genetics. My father is 6'1", my mother is 5'4". Her family is/was all short, most of the men around 5'3"/5'4". My father came from a family of few folks, but none of them what i would call tall. I'm 6'5", one of my sisters is 5'11", my brother was 6'3+". Somewhere the tall gene got turned on. Kristen (my 8YO) was off the height chart at birth, and has remained tall. Janet's afraid she'll be 6' or better. If she's 6' and happy, that's fine with me.
