Mag,

Thanks for sending the biblio on your Dad.  My minor in college (if UW had
used a minor system back then [early '80's]) would have been sociology (I
was a semester or so short of a second degree in sociology), and I read a
lot about the '68 riots.  I vaguely remembered the name Raine, and it
brought back memories of the classes and Professor Blevins to read about it
again.  Hadn't put 2 and 2 together, to realize that Walter Raine was your
dad...
