A Gingham Dress And A Homespun Suit
Subject: The gingham dress & homespun suit...
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun
threadbare suit,
stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an
appointment into the Harvard University
President's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country
hicks had no business at Harvard & probably
didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge "We'd like to see the
president," the man said softly.
"He will be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We will wait," the
lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would
finally become discouraged and go away.
They didn't, and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to
disturb the president,
even though it was a chore she always regretted.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she sa
id to him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded.
Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend
with
them, and he detested gingham dresses
and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.
The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the
couple. The lady told him:
"We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He
was happy here. But about a year ago,
he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a
memorial to him, somewhere on campus."
The president wasn't touched. He was shocked.
"Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person
who attended Harvard and died..
If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a
statue. We thought we would like to give
a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced
at the gingham dress and the homespun suit.
"Do you know how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half
million dollars
in the physical buildings here at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now. The
lady turned to her husband and said quietly,
"Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start
our own? " Her husband nodded.
The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. And
Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away,
traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the
university that bears their name,
Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared
about.
You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those
who they think can do nothing for them.

Well read this .....the answers may shock you!
If only half is true .....MLK was a Class A Sickola and a BUM!

While it is not completely impossible that white supremacists (and survivalists like Joel Skousen) have something meaningful to add to the discussion about Martin Luther King, may he rest in peace, when that contribution turns out to be largely negative, at least a grain of scepticism seems indicated.
The sexual abuse story attributed to Abernathy is a hoax.
No, Martin Luther King was not a saint who never sinned in his life. That doesn't justify slander like the stuff you publish however.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna werepatients in a mental hospital. One day, while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He immediately sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
him out. When the hospital administrator became aware of Edna's heroic act,
she imme diately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now
considered her to be mentally stable.
When the administrator went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I
have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since
you were able to rationally respond to a crisis situation by jumping in
the pool and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that
your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself
in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so
sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'Ralph didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How
soon can I go home?'
