I was teased a bit for my pale skin & freckles which went with my reddish hair.... but the only name I was ever called was by some boy I didn't know, at the city swimming pool.

"Hey look", he said o his friend, " how white that guy is.. Hey, Whitey!" I didn't look at him or answer. I spent most of my youth either being sunburned or ...mostly...staying in the shade.
