I wonder how he would have turned out had he attended Hillhouse High
School New Haven Ct?
I'm betting a bitter, bigoted old man with no life except an imaginary
one in a newsgroup.
the president of my senior class was black.


So *you* weren't the class president? *Do tell.


Did he go on to become an Astronaut and head of NASA? *Of course not,
that was someone *from "rednecksville", SC. *Uh huh.


Things have changed a lot since you were in school in the '40s. *Of
course, that does help explain why you're so "set in your ways" and
forgetful. *It's typical of the elderly, unfortunately.


As I stated, your local guy succeeded because he got out of rednecksville..


Your bigotry falls apart when you realize that he comes back to the
area quite often, calling it home. As a local "hero" he's in the news
and on the local scene pretty often.
