Jay Cummings has made his vitriolic point. Many times. For those who agree, it's undoubtedly a balm. For the rest of us, not so much. As for the presumed 78%* (*source, please? I can throw out unsubstantiated statistics too) who think "we are going in the wrong direction": I too believe our country is going in the "wrong direction"-- it is going towards the fringe right wing, anti-science, afraid of LBGTQIA people, pro-censorship, unwilling to even discuss the history of U.S. racism, let alone its current manifestations, etc. But if he means that everyone in that purported 78% believe that we should move even more rightward, as we take up the banners of white Christian nationalism and proto-fascism, then I fear for our children--and the planet.

Loved hearing Jeff Orlin's heart felt struggles down memory lane, so like many of us. I have wonderful memories of Jeff at my house, usually visiting my sister Judy, but always a welcomed guess. My Dad was very fond of him. Regards to you Jeff.- Laurie Lutrin
Although I didin't graduate at Wheatley with my class in 1968, all my childhood memories are from there. I loved seeing the photo of the group of woman from my class together and looking great. Regards to you all, Laurie Lutrin (Kaufman, Goodmark)
