I admire this great film. Gregory Peck is wonderful as well as all the rest of the cast. I am 80 years old and I'm proud to list some of my past experiences. In high school I played for an undefeated State Champion football team. We had some great black players who stood out on the field. After one play I noticed that our right end had a broken arm. He gave me strict orders to shut up about it because he said he wasn't going to sit on the bench. Our full back was Jewish and he was one of the most admired guy any of us could hope to know. It was the same story in Prep school and in college. Going to class with Jews and being friends was something I have good memories about. Today my son is a Green Beret-Navy Seal and his beautiful wife is Jamaican. My daily greeting to her is--"Hello beautiful- I love you". Count Basie was a good friend of mine. So was Duke Ellington. I owned a house and one day some idiot knocked on my door and wanted me to sign a zoning agreement saying that I would not sell to Jewish or black people (1960). I told him that I had a black customer who was going to buy my property and if he or they didn't like it----. My 22 year old Grandson is a Fireman-EMT man and a Police man. He has saved many lives. I am proud to be an American and this is the greatest country in the world. There is no room in my heart for hate. Thank you.
