Catholic school in Baton Rouge? Hey, I was there, but years earlier. Which one, Don? St. Anthony, Aloishus!?

Maybe St. Gerard and Redempotorist where I went.

Surely not St. Agnes on the South end!

No, you were probably. . . Scotlandville?,

Acadian thruway neighorhood where I was dared by my high school honkybuddies, while passing through with Schlitz in hand--I was dared to get out of the car and walk around for a while on the other side of the tracks, because I had tried to explain to them that black folks were just like us, only different. I mean we had a few of them in our classes by then.

But I digress. Hey Don, Did you know Rap Brown?
