[AnAmericanMother]

Our family has a three-generation relationship with two families that used to work for us. And they are a great success story - the grandmothers were our nannies and one of the granddaddys was a handyman/driver for my dad, they grew up in the country as sharecroppers' children, their children all went to college and became professionals - nurses and dentists and teachers - and THEIR children are going to the best prep schools in town.

Same thing here with the neighbors, with my mother being a teacher and our black neighbor, Welcome Maison being the principal.

And by the way, we have Garrison Hurst here in Lincolnton and Rome doesn't. Red Devil football, the best in the state.
