Giordano - love your interacting with Blacks in your hall. There were so few in hall we attended but good people - wanted their kids to have strong education and were strict parents (they were raised that way themselves before becoming JWs and parents were a mixed marriage). One of my best friends in junior high was a nice, beautiful, black, girl. So reserved and sweet - I loved her over all the caucasians and was so thrilled we'd be attending same high school. I think there were only a couple (if that) other black students and after couple days she transferred out. Lost contact with her - I've searched for her and gave up. What a place she holds in my heart - I might have to search again.
