- Just a minor correction to Robert Binkley. Around here "Mennonite
- beards" are usually found on Old Order Amish rather than Old Order
- Mennonites (Amish being a branch of Mennonite that broke away in
- the 16 or 1700s, more mystical and pietistic--I think, correct me
- if I'm wrong). Old Order Mennonites in Waterloo County tend to be
- clean-shaven.
