Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 3297458, member: 8240"] I believe both suffer from auto-immune diseases. Charlie has alopecia areata universalis (total loss of hair), while Cooley likely has vitiligo (loss of pigmentation in the skin and ), maybe with some hair loss too, but I can't be sure because I haven't ever stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. If Cooley's issue is vitiligo he may some day have his whole head (and maybe more) lose its pigmentation and become totally white. There was an African-American teller in a local bank in WMass who, over the course of 5-6 years, went from medium tone skin on her face and hands to increasingly larger patches of non-pigmented (white) skin and eventually became Michael Jackson without the skin bleaching. When I last saw her she had a few freckles but otherwise looked like anyone's white, older, mother. [/QUOTE]
