As for the aunt.....yeah, she should know better than to wear it.

Give me a break. Maybe her grandmother simply grew up in an age where they weren't so uptight about every little policy and concentrated instead on the more important aspects of GLO membership like familial love and sisterhood.

Or maybe, like MY grandmother, she was just more worried about her husband and sons coming home from war in one piece. Perhaps she was writing letters overseas instead of studying her national bylaws.

Remember too that a lot of these rules and policies weren't in place way back when. The bureaucracy has crept in slowly over the years.

As I said before, I would be hesitant to second-guess the choices of an old woman who was probably wiser than I.
