Did your dad "fit in" with the neighbors or did his appearance or name make him stand apart?
Last time I attended, and later taught at a community college, the tuition was significantly less than at a four year college, mainly due to local and state financial support. Many someones helped pay his tuition. Did you forget that? Did he also "fit in" where he worked? Just imagine if he didn't.
Try walking a mile is someone else's shoes. Funny how old proverbs still work. Sad how old biases are still with us.
