There are often one or two qualities or facts that stick out and characterize someone in our minds. For example, we might say or think something like this – “Oh, yes, I know him…he’s a huge Gator fan…he’s the one who drives that black Acura…he’s the one who always wears that orange shirt…” “Oh, yes, I know her…she’s always dressed so immaculately…she’s…
