Faulkner.

Yes, I’m grateful for the positive changes, and longing for more of them. We’ve still got a very long way to go, but at least we seem to be on the road and the majority of people now wanting to go the right way.

Kathy – I appreciated your comments about serving in NOLA with two black men. It brought back memories of my first public encounters with 2 black men. I was in college in the Los Angeles area (back in the early ’60s) and on the Debating Team with 2 young black gentlemen. When traveling to Debating Tournaments it was I that had a car. I never will forget the looks I received and the comments that were made in my presence in a variety of situations. None of those looks or words were positive and I was not well accepted.

I liked your report of positive interaction and applaud our culture for changing perspective.
