Comments:

I have enjoyed reading about classmates and was highly amused to see that North was having a HS visitation, including interaction with students, and discussion groups on current critical issues and South was going to a football game with some school I never heard of, and a fair.
Though I have had little contact with Long Island since graduation from GN, I retain my sense of sarcastic humor, a trait born of New Yorkers, I believe.

Did You Graduate From North Or South?

North
