Harry is a legend in his own mind. He fancies himself a wit. He's only
half right.

We had a very progressive mayor in the mid-1950s, and there was a
lot of community pressure to "dump" school prayer locally long
before it happened nationally. I don't recall how it was handled
within the school system, but I do know that at the grammar school
I attended, it just stopped in about the fifth grade. By the time I
got to junior high (we had seventh through ninth junior high in
those days, no more, though), there was no morning standing and
pledging.

One of the delights of New Haven in those days was the mish-mash of
cultures and religions, to the point where no group or sect really
dominated. The public schools did close, though, on the Jewish high
holidays, for which everyone was thankful!

Did you fight to get that religious holiday taken off the secular
public school calendar?



Fight to get a day off from school eliminated? Unlike you, I was
smart enough to graduate from high school.

What happened to your secular society Mr. Yale graduate, Dr. MD Wife,
36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, worked for a General (which side we
still don't know) during the Vietnam war, offered a big job in the
Nixon administration, owned a big Hatteras? Did I forget the smartest
son of a bitch on earth too?

With me you get the truth but, with you we get the lie of the moment.
