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.

The president of my senior high school class was doing very well when we
caught up at a reunion.

I was in public school in the 1950's and 1960's, but I agree that
"things have changed a lot" since then, and, as a generality, I believe
today's high schoolers are far less literate than their predecessors.
Too much internet, too many video games, not enough reading, writing,
math, and science.

Of course, you righties aren't big fans of science. Interferes with your
idiotic religious beliefs.

How do you know he wouldn't have been just as successful had he stayed
in Columbia? And do you know that many progressive southern cities
have a much higher rate of college grads than in your area? Now, I
mean REAL grads, not made up Yale ones.

The president of my senior high school class was doing very well when we
caught up at a reunion.


How about the make believe president of the make believe student body
of your make believe Yale education?

That's pure bull****.

Gee, Harry, I thought you didn't like mean spiritedness?

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.

Of course he is successful Herr Krause. Its fascinating how ones life
can improve when they finally pick six good lottery numbers.

I take it you are still waiting? Herr Krause?
