Since retiring, I've been volunteering for short term agricultural development projects in developing countries. At last count, I've worked in 24 different countries counting Peace Corps, all with cultural differences from each other and from the US. One of the benefits of that experience is to see other countries, especially nonWestern countries, from a different viewpoint than what the MSM gives you. The two are not at all the same. Another benefit is to be able to explain to Americans that the image they have of foreign countries is often at odds with the reality.

Something interesting is to see that a person's profession is a better predictor of their behavior than their ethnic group. A Malian goat herder has more in common with a Texas goat raiser than either has with say lawyers in their own country.

School Story

When I was at Oberlin the only thing that kept me sane was spending a couple hours a day at Warner playing b-ball. I visited this past reunion and the floor is still there with the overhead running track, but the basketball hoops are gone.

The other thing that helped get through the long winters was snowballing. Killed lots of No Parking signs. One time I threw a snowball that was supposed to land like a mortar on the sidewalk next to some girl walking toward the field house while wearing Cossack boots. It went down her boot instead. Sorry.

I knew Leon because he was a regular at Warner on the basketball court in the afternoons. You can learn more about a person in half an hour of basketball than in half a year of going to class with them, and Leon was buena gente. The world will miss him.

Your comment about how Oberlin changed you described me almost exactly. I, too, was a Goldwater republican who had never been exposed to anything progressive while growing up.

downloaded a logo from the internet and took it to an embroiderer. From what I gather it's ok as long as I don't sell it.

Daniel Miller has left an In Memory comment for James Hairston.

I remember James from playing basketball at Warner just about every afternoon. A person's character is on open display during team sports like basketball, and his character was absolutely top notch. He was a really great person. I can understand why he would have been successful dealing with kids with attitude problems. It gives me a lot of pain to see that he is no longer with us.
