In digging through my personal library (euphemism for collections of stuff), I came across a 2 page manuscript with the same title as this post. I recognized it immediately as the beginning of a book I promised myself I would write after I left my 12-year stint as a Probation Officer.
It was printed on a dot-matrix printer, and as I recall had been created in a now long-defunct computer program called something like GeoWorks. I no doubt saved it on some sort of floppy disk, but have no clue where, and am sure Microsoft doesn't make a translator for such a program.
No problem! I have what amounts to the Introduction, as well as my preliminary list of chapters.
Here's a teaser from the intro:
"A lot of people will probably do with this book what I did with the one about black militancy back in the 60's when I left my all white school, went off to college, and realized that there really were things I preferred not to know about or think about."
Darn it....now I gotta write the darn thing
