Carolina. My mom and dad met while they were students at Friendship Junior College in iraq hill, South Carolina. After they both graduated from friendship, they moved permanently to great falls. Initially, they were both school teachers. You could be a schoolteacher at that time with just a Junior College education. My dad did not stay in teaching, because he discovered that what was listed on his contract as his per month payment was not the same as he was receiving. This was at a time when the boards of education for all composed of waste men, and so at the end of the year my father approached a person who was a scientist voucher for a payment. He said i noticed that there is a discrepancy here. It was a five dollar difference between what he was supposed to be paid and what he was receiving.

Thats again, that thing in history sometimes when you do something, when you have a context, that accords significance, rather than whether youve done it or not. I dont doubt that claire luper and her group had done sitins. But we know about the North Carolina people. They had an impact. We know about the friendship nine. I think they had an impact. Historically thats what we look for as we look at the social string that pushes this string that pushes that one that pushes that one. Thats the key point, i think i see it the way you do. You were able to set in motion very quickly, but turning th
