Dennis, talking about how he waited for over 70 years before discovering that his mother *hadn't* abandoned him when he was taken to the Boarding Schools, but had written letter after letter to him, even saving up $5 which she sent to the school to ask them to send her son home....He grew up thinking she didn't care..and his bond with her was broken apart, just as those who ran these hellish places wanted to happen. His daugther found his school records, and a shoe box too, filled with all the letters his mother wrote, but which they never gave to him.....

Bastards!!
