Mike....
Very interesting. Something I never think about anymore. Around the time you speak of, my sons went to an all-white school. When my youngest was chosen to be an exchange student in the fifth grade to an all black school for a year, he chose to give it a try. He didn't think they did much to help anything. And, he was a blond curly-haired boy and acquired the name "Cupid" at the black school and every recess all the girls chased him around the playground to see who could catch Cupid. The next year he wouldn't go back there.

It’s interesting how opportunities open up to us in ways we would never dream.

I identified with this,Because I never seemed to be able to put down deep deep roots anywhere.I was born with deep roots but it didn't last, and somehow I have wandered all over the world,making friends, drifting apart because something moved me on, and here I am landed in the beautiful USA. I would like to end back in Australia but Jim and I need each other at this time.
