If only...

One of the classiest women I know tells me she's from "hillbilly stock." She remarks that I'm "well bred." And she's right --to a point. I grew up in Shaker Heights when it still meant something. I went to prep school. My father was well conected in Cleveland politics during the 70s and early 80s. Had my family not been Jewish at a time when country clubs and dancing schools were still segregated, I coulda been a contender!
