In case anyone else was intrigued by the photo, its the back of Randy's 1994 SP card, #106. You're welcome.

Footnoting was never my strength.

intrigued, no... frightened would be better choice. But thank you for the note! I didn't collect much in mid 90's - too busy having 6 children. Yes, I'm Catholic, and documentation on the rhythm method was sparse... I assumed it meant avoiding a steady beat, like you know how in Dune, if you cross the dunes of Arrakis in steady rhythmic steps, the worm hears you, and it comes and gets you? Kind of like that.

There are Catholics in Texas?! My sister moved down to Virginia from here in Michigan years ago. Apparently parishes south of the Mason Dixon line are few and far between but they found one which was a drive. Unfortunately, this particular parish was on the medieval side so they had to find another one which was a longer drive. Not fun being a minority.
