Downpressor - yeah I'll be 40 on Sunday so have a fair bit of distance from and perspective on all this stuff now. I *knew* you were going to comment on this, ha ha.

Not only do the memories fade with age but also the perspective of the memories. The little bit about the national front boys in school was a bit shocking. Even I was in Texas as a youth, I never saw any formal organized racism.
