Don has also discussed with the list the triangular identation in Ada´s
neck ( with various comments concerning what is known as "Adam´s apple" in
men, with attempts to find the specific name for this part of her anatomy ).
Van often referred to a special "V" shaped parting of Ada´s hair both on
neck and back.
