Rainbow Nation

Labor pains were reviewed in the media this past week, and Nelson Mandela's life was being celebrated throughout the world while I was preoccupied sending cards and a Christmas letter to a few of our family and friends.  Ruth has asked me to comment in the context of a meeting, last night.

A gentleman gave a presentation at Monday Evening Club (MEC) about his dislike of cats.  It would have been very humorous if you shared his dislike of cats.  I found it mildly humorous.  Actually, I don't dislike catsPets can be nice.  His dislike of cats was based on his life long allergies.

As to where I was when this story of the Rainbow Nation began,  I was attending The University of Colorado in Boulder.  Ruth was finishing high school in Lemont, Illinois, where her class was preparing to welcome a visiting student from South Africa.  I invite Ruth (CYFFR) to pick up this story from there.
