My Grandmother, born in the late 1800's, knew how bad the sun could be for your skin. When working on the farm with Dad and Grandpa, she always make me wear long sleeves and a hat. All the other girls went back to school in the fall with "great tans." I went back white as a ghost. Even with all the precautions, I have had one melanoma removed and 16 biopsies since! Imagine how bad it would have been without my Grandma's vigilance. By the way-she was 98 years old when she died in 1986-and her skin was beautiful and smooth. Go Granny with the sunbonnet!
