When you meet Gayle Westmoreland, a 61-year-old Columbia resident, greet her with a nod; she believes the handshake is an unsanitary and intrusive custom. She feels so strongly about the matter, in fact, that she published a treatise, Hands: Stop Shaking Them! A Cultural Shift to End Handshaking in America!Westmoreland hopes that one day the nod will be considered a legitimate alternative to the handshake, and she has a plan to make that happen.
My goal is to have one of my books in every household in America, she says, seated at her dining room table. I don't want to get rid of the handshake altogether. I just want a choice.
Hm, I think she just wants to sell her book.
