[QUOTE="Suz, post: 281678, member: 29"] Oh, I totally agree. My Dad was transferred right after my freshman year in high school from Coronado, CA to Alexandria, VA. In those days you couldn't find a bigger culture clash unless he'd been transferred to the Far East- lol. So I arrived in VA wearing sneakers and full cotton skirts (ala California) to a place where everyone wore Villager clothes and Weejuns. Fortunately, some Marine friends had been transferred to VA a year earlier and tipped us off before school started. My folks were never much impressed with outward appearances but thankfully this other family laid it on the line to them that I'd be a social outcast if they didn't spring for a new wardrobe. And thank goodness my parents listened. I was soooooooooooooooooo grateful to that family for tipping us off. It would be a terrific gesture for you and/or Jana to help out right now. I am still grateful all these decades later- and so will she. Suz [/QUOTE]
