Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, Bill. Sometimes it takes a few years to unpack all of that programming – that’s for sure. I know I enjoyed certain things about being there in school, too … we always find ways to thrive, I think. Congrats on your fatherhood. I hope all is well with you.

Hey, Susan,
I stumbled across this blog after finding your brother and you on Facebook.

It’s entertaining reading, for sure, but disturbing. I remember that y’all had to do those charm classes but we had no idea what they were about. I’m really sorry that you had to go through all that stuff.

I’ve run across many of our classmates on Facebook and discovered that most of us had big issues because of that school. It took me a long time to figure out that following Jesus is nothing like that crap we were taught.

On a side note, about 10 years ago I ran into *a certain pastor, his wife, and daughter* at a wedding for a friend. I introduced myself to them since I look a lot different than I did as a teenager. We had a pleasant chat and they were all very nice to me, despite the fact that I was unwed and about to become a father. Maybe old age chilled them out a little

Hi, great to hear from you! Thanks for your comments – I appreciate the feedback. Yes, before I switched to public high school, some of my classes were a little more … strange. I hadn’t thought about that theater incident in quite a while: I did turn a role down, although I don’t remember bloomers being involved. Wearing bloomers sounds downright proper these days, yes?

Wow, we went to the same high school and I honestly had no idea! I am a more than a little flabbergasted by the little I’ve delved into your blog so far. Of course admittedly, what I remember most about you is the rumor that you landed the lead in the musical, only to have to turn it down because your religion forbade you to prance around on stage in your bloomers. If I remember this wrong – please feel free to set me straight!

My natural curiousity wants to read your charm school manual, from start to finish, just to see what in heck it says!

In the mean time, nice to see you again, great to see that you are doing well and are happy, and I am going to go read some more charming blogs!

Thanks Susan,

I have lost a few family members to fundamentalist intolerance. What should be an oxymoron is a defining trait.

Nice site …
