Okay, if Ginnie has this weird sort of crush on Franklin then what does
the chick have to do with him?  Is it just merely the sentimentality of
the sandwich that makes her save it or is there something more?  I take it
not too many people like "eskimos" and this is the reason for not
receiving too much input on the story.  It's not that I think this story
is the best by far but it hard to put it down when I don't have a full
grasp on it.  Sorry for hashing it out one more time
