When I was growing up in Colorado in the 50's, 60's and 70's, we were REQUIRED to take Spanish from the 2nd grade through the 8th---after that, we could take another language or no foreign language---
So, I took spanish for 7 years and I barely remember any of it---it still makes me scratch my head WHY we did, way back then...
BTW, I live in Arlington---so, howdy neighbor...!
Also, I am watching THe Beltway Boys and Both Mort and Fred are in favor of some sort of immigration policy that lets them have a sort of amnesty---they said only radical hard right Republicans are against it....
BOY, do they need to read FR!
