TEACHSOC: Re: curious

[Del Thomas Ph D]

I don't know where you would want to go with this.   I grew up in Chestnut hill....and am now a resident of the main line...... my comment is that this represents new money......the mac mansion crowd ......  what I would call near privileged ...... I recall one at a little league game going around asking ....anyone have change for a 50 ..........  those who have what is left of those who really made it are very quiet and almost unseen. For example, I heard that when Digby came to Philadelphia he went to a party in Chestnut Hill.  The hostess was excited at hearing that he planned to study the family .........  what  luck ..... all five of them are here ..... I'll introduce you.....   and she did. Stereotypes I would joke about the Chestnut Hill pink and green......  and the names  chip...muffy..... it was some years later that I realized that I was called Hap  ......  But I was different of course :-) In recovery Del   Jack Estes wrote: I just got this from a former student. Might make for an interesting study of class and stereotypes.
