Post Scriptum

[Frances Morey]

Susan,
I totally agree, this terrorism was a heinous and reprehensible assualt on
humanity itself. Revenge is instinctual but it doesn't help the one who is
exacting it. And it doesn't ratchet up our protection. These terrorists
didn't even fear death. What could be a worse punishment than that? 
I went to Austin High in the summer of 1958, living with my brother and his
wife. He was in engineering school at UT. I never got to know any of the
other AHS students but I got to spend my summer with the really cool guys in
college. We spent weekends out on Lake Travis waterskiing, cooking
hamburgers, etc. I was in heaven. I knew then that I must attend UT, and
finally made it in 1962, after 2 years at the convent school, Our Lady of
the Lake, in San Antonio. 
When I got to UT Carol Gustine was a housemate at Felicia Co-op, and she
raved about the folk sings, the Ranger and the ghetto, so I began hanging
out at the Union, playing bridge, and politics and getting to know ghetto
folk, Chris Leipziger, John Clay and others.
This morning on The View they showed a new line of Ghetto dolls. We have
done been co-opted!
