Good show. Took me back to the days when we had our nanny who was black. I missed her much. I remembered her being very friendly, kind, and sweet smile. I once got a chance to meet her entire family at her home and it was special. I got to meet her youngest son to. After 45 years I still do not forget them and always pray and hope they are well and that life have been good to them. My parents was so good to her and treated her like a queen. Father picked her up and dropped her off home bi-weekly. Nothing but wonderful memories. I am glad we crossed path. Father took good care of her and her family for he worked for the FBI Chicago Office for 30 years. This was in the 60's to early 70's. I was born the year Kennedy was assassinated. A pivotal time it was. The nanny's name was "Christian". I still have the dust broom she used around our home and it is sitting right in my garage and every time I look at it I remember her using it. It pains me and anger me to see racism still going on today. BLM.

I had vision and I had leadership vision, but it was taking aware by hearing people, over and over again. It was a lifetime of jumping hurdles and no wonder why my legs are worn and tired to this day. I wanted to swim for UND in 1982, but Father Hesburgh said UND could not give me any accommodation at the time, but then 7 years later ADA Laws passed, 7 years too late. UND could have been at the forefront and example of this Bill if they had tried to accommodate. I had the vision, Father Hesburgh did not, UND did not. Hesburgh's quotes..... "The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet." "The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision."
