Well, there's a relief. No offense to any Mascoutahans that there may be on here, but of all the places I lived in those fifteen years, Mascoutah was the worst. When we got moved on base after two months, it was a huge relief to be out of that town.
We moved there in 1978 from Montgomery, Alabama. I never encountered such a backwards assed, predjudiced people in my life - it was insane there. I saw the Klan one time in our three years in Alabama, but saw them several times a month up there.
Whew -- we were moving in a parallel universe. I moved here in 1976 from Decatur, AL. LOL
