Thank you, Janie.

There has been no shortage of ignorance or lack of compassion in any region in which I've lived, and that covers quite a few widely differing places. My father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother grew up in or lived much of their adult lives in South Carolina yet were/are articulate, intelligent, socially flexible, and compassionate people who strove to do right by their fellow human beings...of any race, culture, educational level, or social standing.
