 Cleveland, MS. Own small farm near Booneville, MS | I was exactly the opposite of you. I entered 9th grade at about 5’ 5”. By junior year I was 6’ 0”, which I still am. Mom tells me she was 5’ 5” at 12 years old. That was as tall as she ever got. Dad was about 5’ 9” maybe. Never knew exactly. My brother was probably 5’ 11”. More distant relatives on both sides had several men over 6 feet tall. There was a height gene in there somewhere. |
