h--l betty, who says they are fogotten, just filed away out of site. my
mother and father did well, the only mistake they made was telling me i
could be anything i wanted with hard work. how could they have known. they
never discrimnated against anyone, how would they know  that other people
would not let us be anything we wanted to be and waste our potential and our
abilities. it don't make good sense to unbiased people like them. i know i
had the best parents in the world, i wish all your parents had been like
this, something i know was not true for lots of you guys on the list.
  hey, the first will be last and the last shall be first. aren't there
going to be some surprised people in the hereafter. can't you see their
faces? think about it a spina bifita( sp) child ruling over the yale grad.
it is funny as it can be.

 i for personal reasons went to a school that is not so well known.
graduated
 in top 10% of the class with honors and was promply offered a job making
 brooms. was blatanly discriminated against by companies that you'd
 recognize. remember no ADA. then even though i am thankful for making a
good
 living, was at a "glass ceiling" very quickly. damn, if it does not hurt to
 think and relate it after all these years.
    thank God, i have a sense of humor with all this.
