Once again, Zach Czaia honors me with a wonderful reference. And I am confirming his account of how my sister and I desegregated a Catholic grade school in 1957 (in Beloit, Wisconsin), when she was in the 3rd grade and I was in the 7th grade. My mother and father did sit me down, to tell me that they had never experienced any of what I would be dealing with in school. "We don't know what you will deal with; but we are family, and you can bring everything to us and will will be there for you." I live with that blessing all these years later. Thank you, Zach for bringing me opportunities to share those feelings with the children the ancestors have sent us to guide us into our common future.
Thank you, Father Brown. In my experience it is these kinds of experiences and interactions that stay with young people, that shape (and shakeup) young people in good ways, for years to come. Appreciate you!!
