You’re welcome.

I remember my jr. high principal, a black man, voted for Reagan. The day Reagan got shot he announced it over the intercom and asked us all to pray for our country and the president. I saw him about 15m later when we changed classes and he had tears running down his face...

Imagine that happening today.

Wow—what a story. And what a remarkable principal. I doubt you could find his like these days. But it’s wonderful that you had him back then. It’s moments like that which make a true, well-rounded education. After so much else is forgotten, the really important stuff remains.
