Aren't the Olson twins 16 or 17 now??
One thing too... Alice was supposedly based on a girl that Lewis Carrol
knew, a neighbor's daughter. Is it possible that neighbor was Alice Olson?

Actually I didn't bring up the partridge or Partridge Family, so I can't
take credit... Might also be for parakeet if not partridge or parrot?
I'd wondered also if there were some artists out there that it referred
to -- John Parr?

I guess I could see that...

Right. Though the cha' might just be to keep it similar to the other cha's.
