Cathy studied Abraham's face as she accepted his hand in greeting. She liked what she saw. He had the look of man who had spent most of his years outdoors. The skin on his face was heavily wrinkled and leathery, but the brown eyes peering out from that aged face looked young and full of life. He held a greek fisherman's hat in his other hand, and from the flattened, slightly oily look of his salt and pepper hair, it was clear the hat rarely left his head. In contrast, his completely silver beard was immaculately groomed and trimmed.
