Come on, you went to a first-rate high school full of really bright
kids. I know, because I dated a lot of them. :) There were few
intellectual slouches I encountered among my buddies, male and female,
at Amity Regional. You were just entering high school, I bet, when that
terrific Spencer Tracey movie, Judgment at Nuremberg, came out. I'm sure
you saw it...everyone did. It's one of the best movies ever made.

Just because I attended Amity doesn't mean I was one of the "bright" ones.
I struggled at Amity. I was a transplant who didn't really fit in a very
affluent area and social culture.

I left Amity halfway through my senior year and graduated from a school
back in MA, BTW.
Funny thing was, when I registered at the high school in MA, I already
had all the college
courses and credits required to graduate per their curriculum requirements.
So, I goofed off for the rest of the year.

Ahhh. Amity is still a top high school, according to my buddies in
Woodbridge, Orange, et cetera. I was glad to hear that. Unfortunately,
the City of New Haven schools have not fared as well, though I've been
told the schools are improving. I drove through some areas of New Haven
a couple of months ago when I was up for a visit. I was happy to see
some of what I saw and disappointed with some of the rest. Upper Whalley
Avenue, from the Whalley Theater to downtown, is pretty grim.
Downtown, though, looks better than it did the last time I was there.
