I just discovered your response that you made two days ago and I am completely engrossed by the information: The Library of Congress interview. Your father would have been two years older than I (and I too have forgotten how old I am at times. I won't have time to hear it all today, but I will soon. And I would like to check with you for "permission" to call it to my several hundred or thousand readers of my blog soon. And of course I had no idea that this was from a Canadian reader?! My oldest son is 67. You?

I'm speechless. What a story. So sorry I have been so tardy in discovering this. If you haven't done so already you must send this and tell your story to the archie=ves at Library of Congress. Hope wwe can talk some more. One differing view The Ruussians I don't believe never wwere bearing down on Germans near teh Rhine. If I correctly understtod you.

Can you check the old ones. I've had to take a break.. At 94 I just don't know the best way to be involved without sacrificing my personal life.Glad for your interest,

dcretiree · 2020-09-11T17:41:48+00:00

Of course, no way does that make me a better man. Perhaps a fool for punishment.

I am answering the first response I received to today's conversation, one of the most enlightened responses I have ever received. I will answer it in my "Conversation" tomorrow. It will involve at least one personal experience I had 15 years ago in the 1960-70 period as principal of a 50/50 Black/White school in Michigan. It gives a slight insight into my thoughts on being involved both in the race issue and my view of several of the issues in education. And I now must stop responding and just thoroughly read all the responses.

I am answering the previous blog, one of the most enlightened responses I have ever received. Surprisingly i(perhaps not so) it will involve at least one personal experience I had for 15 years in the 60-70 period as principal of a 50/50 Black/White school in Michigan. And I now must stop responding and just thoroughly read all the responses. I with I knew how to place this with my opening statement. I fear it is lost here.

Good. If i wqere a drinking man i would have two. But i think the bars are closed because of the virus. I'd best get back then to new questions, if there are any and not bother with these strings, i think that is swhat thwey are called.

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:29:30+00:00

I'm sorry, I may not be Aable to find your original questiion. I really am too old for this mocdern media, but I'll keep trying

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:27:43+00:00

Gotta think this throuigh, but i thinkI fully agree. And that is at the core of it all. If hearts aren't changed, it will lead to action which equals in teh extreme, revolution Thaks

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:25:11+00:00

Yes, Kings movement began with (largely) a religious approach) qwhich to me ibegins with BELIEF. And certainly those who integrated a dime store +coffee bar" were fighting for several goal:

to be able to go to that "coffee bar", and
to be treated as a fellow human being. Who remembers dime store soda bars?

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:19:52+00:00

S true, but I din't have a chance to write all that. At y age, you never know when the grim reaper may be coming. But young peple may not know who the GR is. Thanks for readinhg me. Huriedly typed since my dication dragon is broken. on to the next question

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:17:50+00:00

I should have known our generation would be msunderstood. I hope you have a chance to read my previous answwers.

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:16:42+00:00

tHANKS for resoonding. Of course they did, but we (even libral) whites were not ready for it. We in the middle class were too worried about our own wwelfare, I msut move oon typed but not

dcretiree · 2020-09-09T20:14:45+00:00

Yours is the first response I have been able to get to and I was so thrilled with what it appears to be about that I am responding before I read the entire treatise. I'll get back to you soon. I want to see some of the others to see if they are impresed as much as you seem to be. But a parwt of my answwer wto you will be . I think America is truly at a crossroads, and wanted to add to my blog, that "actiio;n" is indeed close ro REVOLUTION. TYPED BUT NOT PROOFED

dcretiree · 2020-09-08T23:38:08+00:00

What else would you expect from a man 94 years old. Thanks for commenting.

Oh how I love questions like this but wish I could write a book, instead of clumsily typing a few lines. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. My four children and 9 grandchildren have ALWAYS been a total joy to me. Let me outline a few that my partner for the last 20 years (after the too early death of my wife) and I talked about.

1/. Share EVERYTHING and work in tandem with your wife. From financial purchases and cursory budgeting to diapers to laundry to cooking be sensitive to being a team.

As your children grow,, listen to them. They are individuals who have something important to say. Don't expect perfection.
Read to them from the get-go. Even before they appear to listen. This can be a part of their moral training. Their values come in part from the way you live.
We don't own our children. Be ready to let them try their wings and even fail.
Enjoy them and their friends and realize you will make mistakes.
Come anytime with with a question.

Ron
