Linda asks:

> Anyone remember the class play about Mexico, and who were the mother, father and children?

Is that the one with, I think, Bob Gillette and maybe Jane Vanbloys (sp)
as mom-and-pop? Linda, were you one of the kids? Or maybe that was a
Thanksgiving play. I remember I dressed up in what we thought was
authentic native garb (thanks to The Cisco Kid) and some of us
memorized short speeches on areas of Mexican. Mine started:

     I am a Tarascan indian.
     I live on the shores of lake Patzcuaro.
     You will marvel at the beauty of this enchanted lake....
     especially after a few tokes of Michoacan...

OK, so we learned naive history and culture from romanticized texts back
then and I made that fourth line up.
