"not social background" ... exactly Giok ... that concept of 'class' ended with the sinking of the Titanic (I thought).

What I'm refering to (re: class) is accomplishment through determination and hard work,honing one's skills in whatever you aim to achieve ... totally exempt from social background.

Derek Jeter is one hell of a baseball player, Glenda Jackson one fine actress ... both true to their craft ... both have 'class'.
